At the Thunderbolts EU2014 Conference, various senior scientists and researchers participated in a film project to share their recollections of Immanuel Velikovsky. This included Bill Mullen, Dwardu Cardona, Warner Sizemore, C.J. Ransom, Bruce Mainwaring, Dave Talbott, and Wal Thornhill. Directed by Katherine Fitzgerald, and initially intended as an archival record for posterity, the scope of the project broadened and ultimately became the focus of Katherine’s MA thesis at the University of Staffordshire. In the words of those who knew Velikovsky personally, The Baby & the Bathwater sheds a fascinating light on one of the most controversial scientific figures of the 20th century and is a work in progress, pending further funding. The film debuted in the EU2016 Breakout Room to a standing-room-only crowd. At EU2017, Katherine will present the film in the Main Hall prior to the Velikovsky Day Recollections evening panel.^[2]”The Baby & the Bathwater: An Original Film by Katherine Fitzgerald“, EU2017 — special events, at thunderbolts.info, retrieved 3 Aug 2017
