Galileo's: Battle for the Heavens
At a time when heretics were burned alive for dissent, scientist Galileo Galilei risked his life to advance his revolutionary concepts of the universe. Director Peter Jones brings Galileo to life, humanizing the great thinker's passion, intelligence, and arrogance while depicting his frustrations with fellow philosophers and scientists, and with Roman Catholic church leaders. Based on Dava Sobel's biography 'Galileo's Daughter', this acclaimed documentary film offers a vivid re-imagining of Galileo's incredible achievements that forever changed the way we view our place in the universe.
