The Little will screen Maria Skłodowska-Curie. Odwaga Wiedzy (Marie Curie, The Courage of Knowledge, Marie Noelle, Germany / France / Poland 2016, 100 min.)

Maria Skłodowska-Curie is a film about legendary Nobel-Prize-winning physicist and chemist, who triggered controversy not only for her incursion into the male-dominated world of French science, but also with her unconventional romantic life. Born in Warsaw on November 7, 1869, Skłodowska moved to Paris in 1891 to pursue her studies in mathematics and physics at the Sorbonne and became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, the first person to win it twice, and the first female professor at the University of Paris. The story covers the most turbulent five years of her life, between 1905, when she went to Stockholm with her husband, Pierre Curie, to be awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of radioactivity, and 1911, when she received her second Nobel Prize.
