Pbs: The Botany of Desire

Curated by ACT

In this interesting documentary based on a book by Michael Pollan, we explore our relationship with domesticated plants and whether they control us rather than vice versa. The author looks at four basic human desires for beauty, sweetness, intoxication, and control using apples, tulips, marijuana, and potatoes as examples. [1:56:15]
