137 Films is a non-profit documentary production company based in Chicago. We create films out of the stories found in the world of science and strive to entertain, educate, and inform by exploring how science's search for answers impacts our cultural, political, and personal lives.
Science (and scientists, for that matter) have traditionally been looked to simply as sources of raw information, as providers of answers, but we believe there is much more there than data. America has a very strange relationship with science; the collision between science, culture and politics creates compelling stories with profound themes and fascinating characters, most of them overlooked. Theirs are the stories we want to tell.
And the science they pursue can be breathtaking, beautiful, complicated, and bewildering. The experiments and equipment scientists use can be incredibly simple or impossibly complex. Many people believe they can't understand what scientists do or aren't interested in trying. We disagree. Understanding the pursuit of science is within everyone's grasp. It deserves to be understood and appreciated because it helps to explain who we all are, what we do, and why we are here.
