[Serious]Is there a good video that explains evolution for someone who knows nothing about it and doesn't believe evolution is real?

Walking with Monsters
Walking with Dinosaurs
Walking with Beasts
Walking with Cavemen

I'm very fond of Potholer54's stuff:

Kurzgesagt is also very, very good:

Thanks for the suggestions so far.
A coworker told me today that he doesn't believe in evolution. It became clear that he just has never read or learned anything about it, and has the typical questions anyone has about it, I guess. So this is to provide him with information that explains much better than I can. It's kind of a daunting task to try and explain.

It’s not an easy subject. Origin of the Species is like 500 pages long and that barely scratches the surface. If your friend isn’t at the intellectual level of reading science books for fun, then you may not be able to help.

It’s obvious that only a lack of education keeps people from understanding basic science. You may want to look up some lectures on iTunes U. This series from Stanford called Darwin’s Legacy is really good.
