About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like documentaries about influential public figures and science advocacy, especially if Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado or Becoming Cousteau worked for you; Not for you if culture-war debates feel tiring.
Pros: inspiring real-life mission; thoughtful personal portrait; clear pro-science message | Cons: debate-heavy focus; best for existing fans; limited broader scope
