The Botany of Desire, with Michael Pollan

Natural Science/Math | Available (Membership Required)

Featuring author, journalist, activist, and professor Michael Pollan, and based on his best-selling book, this program takes viewers on an eye-opening exploration of the human relationship with the plant world-as seen from the plants' point of view. Narrated by Frances McDormand, the program shows how four familiar species-the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato-evolved to satisfy our yearnings for sweetness, beauty, intoxication, and control. Distributed by PBS Distribution.
