Brief Synopsis:


PARTICLE FEVER

99 minutes

A film by Mark Levinson

Imagine being able to watch as Edison turned on the first light bulb, or 
as Franklin received his first jolt of electricity?

PARTICLE FEVER gives audiences a front row seat to our generation's most 
significant and inspiring scientific breakthrough as it happens. The 
film follows six brilliant scientists during the launch of the Large 
Hadron Collider, marking the start-up of the biggest and most expensive 
experiment in the history of the planet.

10,000 scientists from over 100 countries join forces in pursuit of a 
single goal: to recreate conditions that existed just moments after the 
Big Bang and find the Higgs boson, potentially explaining the origin of 
all matter. But our heroes confront an even bigger challenge: have we 
reached our limit in understanding why we exist? PARTICLE FEVER is a 
celebration of discovery, revealing the very human stories behind the 
tale of this epic experiment.

"...a brilliant documentary about the teams who conceived, designed and 
built the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, particle physicists just 
may be the new rock stars. -- The Telegraph UK

"Particle Fever is a visually compelling and human documentary holding 
interest for everyone from the layman to the genius."
