Film-maker Shirley Horrocks, documents Sir Paul Callaghan's world of atoms and molecules. Sir Paul, who died in 2012, used nuclear magnetic resonance as a choreographer directs a dance. He saw New Zealand as 'a place where talent wants to live' and his desire was to make the mainland predator-free. In Dancing with Atoms, Shirley Horrocks interviews Sir Paul's brother Jim, colleagues, students and friends, chronicling the life of one of New Zealand's greatest scientists.
