This film is an excellent way to introduce students to astrophysics. Through the personal story of Hubert Reeves, students become familiar with various scientific phenomena and personalities. After viewing the film, students can be asked to research one of the science subject covered. The documentary may be broken down into several segments, depending on the science subject to be focused on in class. It can also be worthwhile to highlight what sorts of factors can motivate someone to become a scientist.
