Rosalind's Helix

ROSALIND'S HELIX is a feature length screenplay written by Susan Stanton and Jim Berry and funded by The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

Principal photography for ROSALIND'S HELIX is planned for Summer 2006 in New York City.

Synopsis

1951: King's College, London. The race for DNA is on. As James Watson and Francis Crick build their models, Rosalind Franklin toils in her basement lab making precise photographs of DNA strands, unaware she's immersed in a drama that will define the world of science for generations to come. But when cancer consumes her at 37, she realizes the prize she's coveted has nothing to do with a Nobel Laureate. For Rosalind, the prize is life itself.

Dramatizing both the race for DNA and also Rosalind Franklin's complex relationship with her father and ongoing romantic relationship with fellow scientist, Jaques Mering, ROSALIND'S HELIX tells the sweeping DNA story from a new perspective. Rosalind, a mountain climber, intellectual, and world traveler, was neither a dowdy workaholic lab assistant (as portrayed in James Watson's bestselling Double Helix) nor a feminist martyr, but a passionate and brilliant woman.
