Particle Fever: Exploring the Search for the Higgs Boson

[DennisN]

There's a recent (released?) documentary called "Particle Fever" about the search for the Higgs boson. I'm not sure if it's been released yet. Has anyone seen it yet?

Some info:

• Particle Fever editor Walter Murch: 'The Higgs boson is kind of a MacGuffin'
• David Kaplan Explains why the Higgs boson matters
• IMDB entry here
• Edit: Interview with Walter Murch (it seems it's not released yet)

Some news about "Particle Fever":

It seems there's no distribution yet for the film; it's a pity - I hope it will become available soon. Nevertheless here are some more links:

• Physicist-produced documentary to appear in New York Film Festival (PhysOrg)

Note to moderators: I started this thread since I was interested to hear if anyone had seen the film (along with possible scientific impressions of it), and also to get some info about the distribution status of the film. If anyone feels this thread would be more appropriate in the "General Discussion" forum, please move it; I was not sure where I should post the thread in the first place.
