Introduction
In 1977, cosmologist and astrobiologist Carl Sagan sent a 'message in a bottle' attached to the outside of NASA's two Voyager spacecraft.
Although Sagan's postcard to the cosmos has had no response so far, it fascinated one filmmaker enough to set out on his own investigation of our hunt for alien life.
Steve Amezdroz cut his teeth as an Art Director on the original Mad Max films.

The Search for Life in Space checks in with our planet's foremost experts for updates and insights into the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
