Summary:
David Suzuki--award winning geneticist, television host on "The Nature of things", best-selling author, celebrated lecturer and environmentalist--has one of the most famous faces in Canada.

It reveals a man who is an honest and insighful critic of his own character, and who is not afraid to challenge his own assumptions and conditioning.
