What SlingShot Is About
The documentary is about Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway, and the problem he has been chasing for fifteen years: a machine that could solve the world's safe water crisis. Kamen is idiosyncratic, provocative in his opinions and permanently at work, and the purifier he calls SlingShot is his most stubborn project. Paul Lazarus shows both the technical journey and how hard it is to get an idea into the field: manufacturing, cost, distribution and politics. The film's tone is openly admiring; it follows the promise rather than testing it, which is worth knowing.
