Bill Nye: Science Guy

Bill Nye has a mission: to stop the spread of anti-scientific thinking across the world. The former star of the kids show "Bill Nye The Science Guy" is now advocating for the importance of science, research and discovery in public life. With exclusive access and plenty of whimsy, the film follows Nye as he takes off his Science Guy lab coat and takes on those who deny a science-based worldview.

Bill Nye's popularity among a generation of young people who grew up on his public television show, Bill Nye the Science Guy is unparalleled.
