Green Bank Pastoral
United Kingdom, Colombia, USA2020documentary53'Docs+Science (2021)
Green Bank, a small town in West Virginia, in the 1950s became home to one of the biggest radio telescopes in the world. It is also a mecca for those who consider themselves sensitive to electromagnetic radiation because the area surrounding Green Bank is the National Radio Quiet Zone. Visually sophisticated, Federico Urdaneta’s documentary examines the issue of coexistence of scientific and pseudoscientific views in one human mind. He analyses the contradictions within the little human being living under the great dome of the universe.
