The Botany of Desire

Directors Michael Schwarz and Edward Gray adapted the book by Michael Pollan for this revealing documentary about the power of four plants on the human civilization. The history of apples, potatoes, tulips and marijuana; how they conquered the world through human desire and influenced the course of history. It's a fascinating look of the journey of these plants to become widespread throughout the world that's informative and interesting at the same time. Frances McDormand narrates and Pollan appears for detailed insight of the subject.
