"A true story, honestly told, can change lives."

The Botany of Desire

Description:

THE BOTANY OF DESIRE brings Michael Pollan's best-selling book to PBS, showing how human desires are an essential, intricate part of natural history.

The program will explore the natural history of four plants – the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato – and the corresponding human desires– sweetness, beauty, intoxication and controlling nature – that link their destinies to our own.

This two-hour documentary begins in Michael Pollan’s garden, and roams the world, from the potato fields of Idaho and Peru to the apple orchards of New England, from a medical marijuana hot house to the tulip markets of Amsterdam.

Funding for the program was provided by the National Science Foundation, PBS, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the Columbia Foundation.
