"Break the Science Barrier" is a television documentary written and presented by Richard Dawkins, which promotes the viewpoint that scientific endeavour is not only useful, but also intellectually stimulating and exciting.cite web | url=http://richarddawkins.net/article,2234,BREAK-THE-SCIENCE-BARRIER---Available-Now-on-DVD,RichardDawkinsnet | title=Break the Science Barrier DVD release notice | publisher=RichardDawkins.net | date=2008-03-01] Featuring interviews with many well-known figures from the world of science and beyond, it was originally broadcast on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom - the first of a series of collaborations between Dawkins and the station - before being released on DVD more than a decade later. The documentary contains many of the themes later expounded in his book "Unweaving the Rainbow", which was published two years after the initial broadcast.
