시놉시스

Dr George McGavin and Dr Zoe Laughlin set up base camp at one of the UK's biggest sewage works to investigate the revolutionary science finding vital renewable resources and undiscovered life in human waste. Teaming up with world-class scientists, they search for biological entities in sewage with potentially lifesaving medical properties, find out how pee can generate electricity, how gas from poo can fuel a car and how nutrients in waste can help solve the soil crisis. They follow each stage of the sewage treatment process, revealing what the stuff we flush can tell us about how we live today, and the mindboggling biotechnology being harnessed to clean it, making the wastewater safe enough to return to the environment.

찰스 다윈과 생명의 나무
진화에 대한 놀라운 이야기. 한 사람의 학설에 불과했던 진화론이 지금의 명성을 얻기까지 어떤 일이 있었는지, 왜 다윈의 진화론이 그 어느 때보다 가장 중요한 위치에 놓이게 되었는지 알아본다. 인류의 생각을 바꿔 놓은 이론의 이면에 감춰진 다윈의 개인사에서 시작해, 수십 세기 자연사의 선두에 놓여있던 이론에 담긴 인간에 대한 다윈의 사랑에 이르기까지, 진화론의 아버지 찰스 다윈의 모든 것을 만난다.
Darwin's Struggle: The Evolution of the Origin of Species
Documentary telling the little-known story of how Darwin came to write his great masterpiece, On the Origin of Species, a book which explains the wonderful variety of the natural world as emerging out of death and the struggle of life. In the twenty years he took to develop a brilliant idea into a revolutionary book, Darwin went through a personal struggle every bit as turbulent as that of the natural world he observed. Fortunately, he left us an extraordinary record of his brilliant insights, observations of nature, and touching expressions of love and affection for those around him. He also wrote frank accounts of family tragedies, physical illnesses and moments of self-doubt, as he laboured towards publication of the book that would change the way we see the world. The story is told with the benefit of Darwin's secret notes and correspondence, enhanced by natural history filming, powerful imagery from the time and contributions from leading contemporary biographers and scientists.
What Darwin Never Knew
Earth teems with a staggering variety of animals, including 9,000 kinds of birds, 28,000 types of fish, and more than 350,000 species of beetles. What explains this explosion of living creatures—1.4 million different species discovered so far, with perhaps another 50 million to go? The source of life's endless forms was a profound mystery until Charles Darwin brought forth his revolutionary idea of natural selection. But Darwin's radical insights raised as many questions as they answered. What actually drives evolution and turns one species into another? To what degree do different animals rely on the same genetic toolkit? And how did we evolve?
안드로메다의 위기

신들의 법정
테네시주의 작은 마을, 고등학교 과학 교사 버트램 케이츠가 주(州) 법을 어겨 재판을 받게 된다. 케이츠가 금기인 다윈의 진화론을 아이들에게 가르쳤기 때문이다. 저명한 정치가이자 보수적인 근본주의자 매튜 브래디가 검찰 측을 지원하고 나선다. 한편, 역시 유명한 변호사이며, 논쟁적인 법의식을 가진 브래디의 라이벌 헨리 드러먼드가 케이츠의 변호를 맡는다. 창조론과 진화론이 맞붙은 이 뜨겁고 치열한 법정 공방에 언론의 관심까지 집중되며, 마을을 넘어 미 전역이 들썩이게 된다. 1925년에 실제로 일어났던 세기의 ‘원숭이 재판’을 소재로 한 희곡을 각색한 작품. 크레이머는 창조론과 진화론이 충돌한 이 사건을 매카시즘을 논할 매개로써 활용했으며, 영화를 통해 지적인 담론을 이어간다. 이후 여러 차례 TV 드라마로 리메이크되기도 했다.

Unlocking the Mystery of Life
Unlocking the Mystery of Life represents a unique programming opportunity for local stations. Its broadcast release coincides with the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in history-James Watson and Francis Crick's discovery that the DNA molecule carries hereditary information in the form of a code that many scientists have likened to computer software or a written language. This discovery (announced on April 25,1953) sparked a scientific revolution. But it also left a fundamental question unanswered. Where did the information in DNA come from? How did the software in the cell arise? Unlocking the Mystery of Life explores these questions through the stories of a growing number of scientists who no longer believe that natural selection or chemistry, alone, can explain life's origin. Instead, they think that the microscopic world of the cell provides evidence of purpose and design in nature.
