Humanity Needs Dreamers: A Visit With Marie Curie (40 mins) is an immersive science film inviting audiences to meet Dr. Curie as she recollects her quest to isolate two new elements — polonium and radium. From her childhood in Poland to groundbreaking research in France, Marie Curie shares the struggles, failures, and triumphs behind her scientific discoveries and remarkable collaboration with companion scientist and husband Pierre Curie.

Masterfully portrayed by living history scholar Susan Marie Frontczak, Humanity Needs Dreamers is the cinematic version of the acclaimed one-woman theatrical presentation, breaking the digital fourth wall between live theater and film. Screening will be moderated by filmmaker Jen Myronuk, co-founder of STEM on Stage with an interactive Skype Q & A with engineer & scholar Susan Marie Frontczak. http://www.humanityneedsdreamers.org

Susan Marie Frontczak is an engineer, scholar, playwright & performer. Having created seven different Living History programs across thirty-five of the United States and abroad, she plays in theaters, corporations, schools, libraries, and festivals internationally — including performing Manya: The Living History of Marie Curie and A Visit with Madame Curie over 400 times to over 54,000 people in 32 states and nine countries.

In dramatizing the life of Marie Skłodowska Curie, Susan Marie pays homage to their shared Polish heritage. Marie Curie’s perseverance in purifying a tenth of a gram of radium from a ton of pitchblende, in part, inspired Susan Marie to major in Engineering. She earned a B.S. in Engineering from Swarthmore College and a Masters in Software Engineering from the Wang Institute of Graduate Studies, and worked for fourteen years at Hewlett-Packard Company before pursuing full time writing and performing. www.storysmith.org/manya
