Synopsis
'The Unbelievers' follows renowned scientists Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss across the globe as they speak publicly about the importance of science and reason in the modern world - encouraging others to cast off antiquated religious and politically motivated approaches toward important current issues. Blasphemous to some, heroic to others - the weight of their message is impossible to ignore. Presented in the style of traditional ‘rock-n-roll tour films’, the film joins Dawkins and Krauss as they speak to sold-out stadiums and halls across three continents. It also includes interviews with celebrities (Cameron Diaz, Ricky Gervais, Woody Allen, Stephen Hawking, Werner Herzog and others) who support the work of these controversial speakers.
