Darwin and 'Creation'

Darwin in his study, from the movie 'Creation.' Image courtesy Creation.

We'll talk about 'Creation,' a film about Charles Darwin, recently released in the US. The film, starring Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly as the Darwins, focuses on a period in which Charles Darwin struggled to write On the Origin of Species -- before he was a household name. We'll talk with Randal Keynes, author of the book upon which the film was based, and with Jon Amiel, the director of 'Creation.'
