Man Who Moved Mountains, The

Synopsis
The story of pioneering scientist Harold Wellman, who, on arriving in New Zealand in 1931 to search for gold, observed that the the earth’s crust is fluid and is constantly moving. His ideas were rejected at first, but sixty years on, they bore fruit with a theory explaining, for the first time, how mountains are built.
