Rapid Motion Through Space: An Incomplete History of Speed

"13.8 billion years ago, the Universe began with a bang. A Big Bang. And it has been expanding at an ever increasing speed ever since."

With input from an eclectic mix of scientists, engineers, sportspeople (and about thirty thousand snails) the film focuses on the many incarnations of speed and how it affects us all on land, sea, sky, space and even in our thoughts.
