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. (120 minutes)
