Mitosis (2020)

В далёком будущем возвращающийся на Землю грузовой космический корабль перехватывает исходящий с неизвестной планеты слабый сигнал SOS. Экипаж принимает решение совершить посадку и разобраться, в чём дело. Оказавшись на планете, астронавты повсюду обнаруживают неопознанные предметы, по виду напоминающие гигантские коконы или личинки.

Вместе с космическим зондом на Землю попадает инопланетный вирус, способный вызывать мутацию у заражённых людей.

When Harvard PhD student Jennifer Brea is struck down at 28 by a fever that leaves her bedridden, doctors tell her it’s "all in her head." Determined to live, she sets out on a virtual journey to document her story—and four other families' stories—fighting a disease medicine forgot.

В университетском городке одного из колледжей Майами в одной из лабораторий проводились биологические эксперименты над животными. Рядом с клеткой с подопытной обезьяной (как оказалось в последствии сумасшедшей) очутился один молодой человек, которого она и укусила. Его рана начинает воспаляться, и человек превращается в мутанта, который убегает в город и начинает нападать на безвинных мирных людей и заражать их опасной безумной болезнью.

О крупнейшем биологическом открытии XXI века – CRISPR. Это особые локусы бактерий и архей, которые позволяют лечить болезни, изменять биосферу и «проектировать» собственных детей.

Почему на свете так много разных видов животных, почему они именно так распространились по планете и почему их тела имеют такую форму? Причины удивительного многообразия живых существ объяснил человек, кардинально изменивший наш взгляд на мир и на наше место в нем. Этого человека звали Чарльз Дарвин.

Фильм, рассказывающий о происхождении Вселенной и жизни на нашей планете: флоры, фауны и человеческой расы. То серьезно, то с шутками, чередуя мудрость с наивностью, африканский колдун и поэт на языке мифов и сказок рассказывает историю вечного Генезиса, героями которого являются животные и люди.

A documentary series from Channel 4, hosted by professor Richard Dawkins, well-known darwinist. The series mixes segments on the life and discoveries of Charles Darwin, the theory of natural selection and evolution, and Dawkins' attempts at convincing a group of school children that evolution explains the world around us better than any religion.

Using spectacular graphics based on the latest science and stories of remarkable people around the world, Michael Mosley takes us on a fantastic voyage through our inner universe.

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.

In 1858 Charles Darwin struggles to publish one of the most controversial scientific theories ever conceived, while he and his wife Emma confront family tragedy.

Are the medicines and every day products we use putting us at risk RESISTANCE sheds light on the global crisis of antibiotic resistance and uncovers how our extensive use of bacteria-killing antibiotics has created a new kind of disease, resistant to the medicines created to destroy it.

Over three very personal films, Sir David Attenborough looks back at the unparalleled changes in natural history that he has witnessed during his 60-year career.

THE BRAIN is an astonishing voyage of discovery into our last biological frontier. Although today s computers can make calculations in one-100th of a second and technology can transport us outside the bonds of Earth, only now are we beginning to understand the most complex machine in the universe. Using simple analogies, real-life case studies, and state-of-the-art CGI, this special shows how the brain works, explains the frequent battle between instinct and reason, and unravels the mysteries of memory and decision-making. It takes us inside the mind of a soldier under fire to see how decisions are made in extreme situations, examines how an autistic person like Rain Man develops remarkable skills, and takes on the age-old question of what makes one person good and another evil. Research is rushing forward. We’ve learned more about the workings of the brain in the last five years than in the previous one hundred.

The Creeping Garden is an independently-produced feature-length documentary, directed by Tim Grabham and Jasper Sharp and with an original soundtrack by Jim O’Rourke, depicting the world of myxomycetes, or plasmodial slime moulds, and the diverse array of research currently being conducted around them. The film boasts stunning original macroscopic time-lapse footage of these overlooked organisms, filmed within its natural habitat and in a controlled laboratory setting, and features interviews with artists, researchers and scientists involved in the fields of the visual arts, music, mycology, computing and robotics to explore ideas of biological-inspired design, emergence theory, unconventional computing and scientific modelling.

Благодаря Майклу Поллану и основанному на его книге-бестселлере фильму, зрителю предоставляется возможность взглянуть на взаимоотношения человека с растительным миром – но взглянуть с точки зрения растений. Повествование Фрэнсиса МакДорманда рассказывает нам о том, как четыре хорошо известных нам вида – яблоня, тюльпан, марихуана и картофель - эволюционировали, чтобы удовлетворять наши страсти к сладости, красоте, упоению и контролю.

От нашего первого крика до нашего последнего вздоха наши тела секунда за секундой подвергаются непрерывному преобразованию. Национальный Географический Канал (NGC) забрался внутрь человека, чтобы выяснить, как наши тела эволюционируют от рождения к старости.

From the unique vantage point of 200 miles above Earth's surface, we see how natural forces - volcanoes, earthquakes and hurricanes - affect our world, and how a powerful new force - humankind - has begun to alter the face of the planet. From Amazon rain forests to Serengeti grasslands, Blue Planet inspires a new appreciation of life on Earth, our only home.

David Attenborough takes us on a guided tour through the secret world of plants, to see things no unaided eye could witness. Each episode in this six-part series focuses on one of the critical stages through which every plant must pass if it is to survive:- travelling, growing, and flowering; struggling with one another; creating alliances with other organisms both plant and animal; and evolving complex ways of surviving in the earth's most ferociously hostile environments.

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?
