Movie Story

---

Part ghost story, part psychological thriller, part heart-wrenching love story "Creation" is the story of Charles Darwin and the single most explosive idea in history. Darwin's great, still controversial, book The Origin of Species depicts nature as a battleground. In "Creation" the battleground is a man's heart.

Torn between his love for his deeply religious wife and his own growing belief in a world where God has no place, Darwin finds himself caught in a struggle between faith and reason, love and truth. This is not the grey-bearded old man that most people imagine when they think of Darwin.

The Darwin we meet in "Creation" is a young, vibrant father, husband and friend whose mental and physical health gradually buckles under the weight of guilt and grief for a lost child. Ultimately it is the ghost of Annie, his adored 10 year-old daughter who leads him out of darkness and helps him reconnect with his wife and family. Only then is he able to create the book that changed the world.

Told in a collage of scenes from the past and present, laced with stories of exotic animals and the dark dreams of a troubled mind "Creation" is a film that will provoke, entertain and ultimately deeply move you.
