Geniet och Pojkarna
Carleton Gajdusek fick Nobelpriset för upptäckten av den mänskliga formen av galna kosjukan hos ett kannibalfolk på Nya Guinea. Han var ett av världens största genier och adopterade 57 barn från Söderhavet. Men när hans karriär stod på sin höjdpunkt anklagades han för pedofili och spärrades in ett år i fängelse. Trots det försvaras han av legendariska vetenskapsmän som Oliver Sacks och kaosterorins Benoit Mandelbrot.
Denna drabbande och starka dokumentär undersöker insiktens gränser och självbedrägeriets kraft genom ett av århundradets mest geniala sinnen - en man redo att bryta normerna och utmana människors heligaste principer; en man vars vetenskapliga briljans verkar ha fått många att blunda för personliga tillkortakommanden.
Gajdusek tog del av filmens påståenden före sin död december 2008 i Norge och hans svar presenteras i dokumentären.
