The Botany of Desire

This is an eye-opening exploration of the human relationship with the plant world, seen from the plants' point of view. Based on the book by Michael Pollan and narrated by Frances McDormand, see how four familiar species -- the apple, the tulip, marijuana and the potato -- evolved to satisfy our yearnings for sweetness, beauty, intoxication and control.
