Founded in 2007, this resources aims to provide a unique online research platform for some of the most significant and thought provoking documentary television as well as making the programmes available on DVD and eventually pay per view. However, the aim is also for the site to become an online library where the important topics covered in these films can be studied in depth via subscribed access to all of the source material used by the film makers. Producer and director notes, insights into the leading minds featured in these programmes and direct links to their work will all be included free of charge. The first DVD is entitled "Stem Cells: The Promise" and consists of two films, BEGINNINGS and IMMORTALITY, shown as part of Channel 4s "Equinox" series, which provided viewers with a staggering insight into the very real capabilities and imminent implications of stem cell technology. The second film is David Malone’s TESTING GOD, which re-examines the relationship between science and religion and asks: is science’s claim to victory premature? SOUL SEARCHING, Malone’s 2003 sequel to TESTING GOD has also been added.
