Can Science Make You a Hero?
This documentary explores the emerging science of heroism and asks whether ordinary people can train themselves to act with courage. It moves through psychology and behaviour research to argue that action, not just positive thinking, can reshape a life. Along the way it looks at what pushes people to step up in a crisis while others freeze. It is a thoughtful watch for anyone interested in the science of character and how everyday choices build resilience. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
