The Secret Life of Chaos
Directed by Nic Stacey
A cerebral documentary that reframes chaos theory as a lens for understanding life's origins, balancing scientific rigor with existential wonder.
Chaos theory has a bad name, conjuring up images of unpredictable weather, economic crashes and science gone wrong. But there is a fascinating and hidden side to Chaos, one that scientists are only now beginning to understand. It turns out that chaos theory answers a question that mankind has asked for millennia - how did we get here?
