DNA: The Secret of Life

Format: DVD Runtime: 60 minutes Closed captioned: Yes

Narrated by Jeff Goldblum, this is part 1 of the thought-provoking, fresh, 5-part series revealing the candid story of what happened when mankind met DNA - the most significant development of the 20th century. It is an epic tale that started 50 years ago when two then unknown scientists ran into a British pub and announced that they had found "the secret of life." They were James Watson and Francis Crick, and their discovery unleashed a revolution in biology.
Through first-hand interviews, rare film footage, photos, striking custom graphics and animation based on the latest scientific data, the series takes a comprehensive look at the history and future of DNA technology. From curing cancer, to modifying the food we eat, to dramatically changing the way we catch criminals, the DNA revolution is continually transforming our day-to-day lives and will ultimately enable us to alter the human species - if we so choose.
