For slide based planetariums
What is the definition of intelligence? And what qualifies as intelligence?
A young reporter gets the assignment of a lifetime to research intelligence should we ever detect signals from space. Instead of heading directly to the radio observatory, he visits a research station in the jungle before traveling to Hawai'i where he discovers that there are many more intelligent species on Earth than he first thought.
When he finally does get to the observatory, he and the audience learn about the challenges of detecting signals from space and use the Drake equation to consider the possibilities of actually making contact.
