Synopsis
Tim Boon of the Science Museum tells the story of Percy Smith, a pioneer in the art of the natural history film. He made dozens of short but brilliant films on subjects like flies and slime mould in his principal studio, the back garden of his home in north London, and in the 1920s developed innovative microscope and time-lapse photography. Featuring contributions from Sir David Attenborough.
