Those who believe that an organism is more than the sum of its parts offer their vision of the seen and unseen world and urge that mankind should be viewed in the perspective of creation, every part of which has a claim to individuality. A visually delightful film whose contributors include Miriam Rothschild (biologist), Arnold Mandell (neurologist and mathematician), Thomas Berry (Roman Catholic monk and cultural historian) and Matthew Fox (theologian).
