Let There Be Light

The documentary takes up fusion energy. Scientists are trying to build a small sun on Earth. The aim is a lasting and clean source of energy. That the energy be cheap is among the aims too. The effort has been going on for decades. Every attempt so far has come to nothing. But a large push is under way now. The film follows that work from the inside. Laboratories and experimental rigs are recorded. Those who speak are researchers working in the field. Mark Henderson and Sibylle Günter are among them. Eric Lerner appears in the film as well. Mila Aung-Thwin’s Italian, Canadian, French, Swiss and American coproduction of 2017 runs ninety minutes.
