I finally got a blu ray copy of the Ray Kurzweil documentary film
"Transcendent Man".
This was really good! I recommend it to you if you have any interest at
all in the man and his ideas.
One thing that came through to me was his sadness at the tragic loss of
his father :-( That loss probably had much to do with his interest in human
immortality research.
A brilliant thinker.
(I do however differ with him on the complexity of human consciousness.
I think he has a far too simplistic idea of how it comes about and what it is)

It's here in the US on Xfinity, Comcast on-demand, etc.
Interesting guy, but... as I recall, Tesla went off the deep end as he got older, too.
