The Botany of Desire (2009)

Featuring Michael Pollan and based on his best-selling book, this special takes viewers on an exploration of the human relationship with the plant world — seen from the plants' point of view. Narrated by Frances McDormand, the program shows how four familiar species — the apple, the tulip, marijuana and the potato — evolved to satisfy our yearnings for sweetness, beauty, intoxication.

plants really are amazing and it saddens me how far removed we are as a society from the actual production of what we consume

Michael Pollan has some really interesting theories about plants. A worthwhile view on Netflix's instant list.

Very eye opening. For instance in an apple each seed will lead to a different type of apple. We limit the natural evolution be only planting 5 or so species of apples. This makes it venable so we have to rely on pesticides. You will learn and gain a new perspective of plants.

Beautiful documentary by Michael Pollan about the apple, the tulip, cannabis and the potato. The film is based on Pollan's book of the same title. Really enjoyable and educational.
