Horizon - man and science today
In the Matter of Dr. Alfred Nobel
with Jack MacGowran as Nobel, Peter Vaughan, Peter Copley, Maurice Roeves as the Commissioners
Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, was simultaneously an arms manufacturer with ninety-three factories around the world and an ardent pacifist who founded the Nobel Prizes. He was a man who professed to hate violence, arguments, and emotional conflicts of any kind, but who made the discovery of the detonation principle, which laid the technical foundation for two World Wars.
In his favour it might be said that he was a 'man of his time' subject to the pressures and perspectives of his age, but his life leads us to look at the motivation of the other Alfred Nobels who are today happily improving methods of destruction in defence laboratories around the world.
Will we survive the 'men of our time'?
A fictional Commission examines Alfred Nobel's life and work: the Commissioners and Nobel are played by actors; the facts are authentic.
