Visionaries: Small Solutions to Enormously Large Problems
★ 8.0·1 seasons · 7 episodes·Series
Synopsis
An anthology series of seven documentary films written and directed by Tony Gailey and Julian Russell. Each piece examines the work of a living person who is a revolutionary thinker in their field. What the subjects have in common is a creative contribution to humanity that has the potential to elicit a paradigm shift—either by addressing global socioeconomic problems, or providing a radical scientific model to understanding a complex system.
