This documentary paints an intimate portrait of life in Green Bank, WV, home to one of the world's most sensitive radio telescopes and the only town in the U.S. where Wi-Fi and cell phones are banned.
In this uniquely radio-quiet community, scientists use the telescope to search for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence and advance the field of radio astronomy while the residents experience defining moments of life and loss; what unites them is a shared connection to the universe, science, and each other.
