DOLLY THE SHEEP

In 1996, a ragtag crew of Scottish scientists, running on empty budgets and big ideas, changed history.

After 277 failed attempts – and a cell transported in a bra –they created what was thought to be impossible: Dolly, the first mammal cloned from an adult cell.

Chaos erupted: press stampedes, presidential panic, protests, and even a failed kidnapping plot. As Dolly blinked up at the cameras, the Roslin team watched
their sleepy lab become the centre of an ethical uproar.

Dolly would become the most famous animal on the planet, gracing the cover of Time magazine in 1997. 

This film tells Dolly’s story – equal parts screwball caper and world-changing breakthrough, with a touch of Scottish delight.
