Arlington,
Va. – August 29, 2018 – PBS Distribution announces the release
of “THE AMAZING HUMAN BODY”
available on Digital September
20 and DVD September 25. This
new series, presented in partnership with the BBC, explores the human body as
viewers have never seen it before! Using cutting-edge graphics, the program
reveals the surprisingly beautiful biological processes that keep humans alive.
Discover the
ingenious ways your body develops, adapts, and endures. How does your brain
communicate with your body in order to help you learn new skills? What is the
connection between a teenager's craving for fatty foods and sudden growth
spurts? And how does cell regeneration allow an octogenarian to compete in a
grueling triathlon and live to tell the tale? Case studies from across the
globe showcase the dazzling secret science of the human body. A child prodigy
in Phoenix demonstrates the brain's ability to prioritize mental development
over physical growth, a chilling dip in an icy lake reveals how shivering might
just save our lives, and low-level torture in a London laboratory highlights
the way our bodies block pain. Witness the fascinating and finely tuned systems
that keep your body motoring - and the scientists guessing.
“THE AMAZING HUMAN BODY” will be
available for digital download on September
20 and on DVD ($24.99 SRP) September 25, 2018. The program has a run time of approximately 173 minutes.
