Rare and valuable portrait of a rare and valuable human being. -Seattle Times Pauling is the only person to have ever received two unshared Nobel Prizes, universally considered as the greatest honor any person or group can receive. The film traces his unique achievements as both scientist and peace crusader. Pauling enthusiastically describes events leading to his Nobel Chemistry award as innovative footage depicts his research into the structure of matter and his race against Watson and Crick for the profoundly important discovery of the Double Helix. His disputed Vitamin C crusade is also frankly depicted. Substantial, fascinating, enjoyable. -New York Times Pauling was one of America's most controversial figures when he led the 1960s Ban the Bomb campaign. It led to the Nobel Prize for Peace, announced on the day Pres. John Kennedy signed the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Moving and effective...exhilarating and inspiring...stimulating film that provides powerful insights. E
