I watched a multipart dramatized biography on PBS .... sorry my alzheimers is preventing me remembering the name, but I thought it was well done. (I don't usually like dramatizations)
AH, I think it was this one I saw:

The one I saw last night was not "Darwin's Darkest Hour" (the NOVA presentation).
Creation is the film that had such a hard time finding a distributor in the U.S. because it deals with evolution. Like the NOVA show, it depicts events leading up to the publication of Darwin's
Origin of Species. I haven't seen that NOVA episode, but I'd like to rectify that. I imagine NOVA did a much better and more historically accurate job.
The movie wasn't advertised in our local paper. It played in a wonderful local theater that specializes in art films, foreign films, classics, and silent movies. If I hadn't subscribed to their mailing list years ago, I would have missed it.
