Peter Higgs: Particle Man

Documentary about Peter Higgs, the man who proposed the existence of a new particle - later named the Higgs Boson - and whose existence was proved 50 years after its postulation.

Peter Higgs is the man behind one of the most remarkable scientific ideas of the past fifty years. He proposed the existence of a new particle, which would become known as the Higgs Boson.
