00:00 Our Common Ancestor
11:33 A Bacterium at the Nanosecond Scale

This is the making of Micronauts, a documentary by director Hans Busstra, which shows the first moving images of the inside of a single bacterium at the molecular level. In this video, we unpack how molecular cell biologist Gael McGill and his team at Digizyme Inc made these complex animations.

This was Hans Busstra's last documentary film project before joining the Essentia Foundation and you can read about his metaphysical reflections on this project on the Essentia Foundations website:
