The human body

Threat advisory: Under evaluation

Movie propaganda

The speeding impulse of a brain cell racing at 420 kilometres per hour... the quivering dance of hairs in our ear, so small that 10,000 bunched together are thinner than one strand of hair from our head... the 170 kilometre trek of a red blood cell, only thousandths of a centimetre in size, through our vast, tangled network of veins, arteries and capillaries... or the miraculous genetic fusion of parental DNA that signals the beginning of a unique new life. All these extraordinary occurrences are routine events for our bodies, yet almost all are hidden from our view.

The human body goes beyond the BBC television series, taking you on a fantastic voyage with incredible detail and sound. The film explores the complexities of the human body by investigating, in great detail, the myriad functions the body performs routinely every day. It investigates and portrays the human body in ways never seen before - from the progression and culmination of a pregnancy to thermal imagery and x-ray techniques.

Starring Heather Pike, Buster Pike, Zannah Lawrence and Luke Brinkers, narrated by Doctor Robert Winston. Written By Richard Dale, directed by Peter Georgi.
