The Night's Films
The Botany of Desire: 120 Minutes - Featuring Michael Pollan and based on his best-selling book, this special takes viewers on an eye-opening exploration of the human relationship with the plant world -- 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. (Watch Preview) The descriptions of these films are borrowed from the producer’s websites.
