Synopsis

How did life emerge on Earth? Are we alone in the universe? What is the nature of life? Can we synthesize life from scratch in a laboratory? Humans have been puzzled with these questions since ancient times. in this documentary we will explore the latest developments in the field of “Origin of Life”, starting from those looking for clues in our own planet, moving outwards to the potentially habitable moons of Jupiter and Saturn, all the way to the billions of exoplanets that populate our universe. How long it will take to tackle these questions is a highly debated and controversial aspect in this extremely competitive field, where now skirmishes between competing scientists take place on social media. But one thing is sure, solving this puzzle will have profound implications for society and how we understand our place in the universe.
