A documentary about a fascinating venture inside MIT: an attempt to design and build the way the natural world does, discarding plastics, metals, and the concept of the assembly line along the way. That's really, really interesting if you ask me, but we don't get to see how much progress is actually being made. Instead, this documentary spends most of its time presenting a beautiful person floating through the world, immaculately dressed and made up, beautiful hair in abundance, while motivational platitudes fall effortlessly to the ground. Her project team pop up now and again, also beautiful, as does a couple of amazing projects (involving silk worms and bees), but the story is never completed, we're always left with a couple of questions: Did I miss something? So what happened next? And even: Is this for real or is it some sort of scam? All of the people featured here must be incredibly talented, but the film maker seems to have taken the wrong path.
