BBC video series
I found this video documentary that was done by BBC called “Islam and Science 3: the power of doubt”
I wish I had found these videos earlier, there’s 6 parts to that one which talks about astronomy.
The speaker in the documentary is named Jamal Khalili and he’s a professor of physics, he was born in Baghdad and is half Iraqi half English, he speaks of how he remembers learning about all these different astronomers from the medieval islamic world who shaped the discoveries of the westernized scientists.
He also did another documentary with the same layout but about medicine:
And this one about language and the translation movement:
I found them very interesting and accurate. enjoy.
