World of Discovery - Indestructible People The normal life cycle: we are born, we live and we die. But what happens when life's unfortunate incidents cause loss of limb or control of our bodies? See how science is making life better for so many and explore the incredible scientific potential of the next century. As seen on ABC. Narrated by Hal Douglas.
World of Discovery - The Secret Life of 118 Green Street The Herbert's house at 118 Green Street looks normal enough - a mom, dad, two kids, the family dog and a goldfish named Sushi. But look closer and you'll see that the Herberts aren't home alone - they're surrounded - by billions of uninvited houseguests. This award winning film reveals the miraculous world that exists beyond the naked eye. Through groundbreaking magnification, time-lapse and slow motion photography, you'll discover a shocking, breathtaking and fascinating universe. It's a rare look at the complex beauty of things we take for granted: the drip of a faucet, a man's whiskers, the battle of two ant colonies, or the birth of an ice cube. It's also a look at things we're glad we can't see: dust mites in the bed, billions of bacteria on our skin, and fungi eating our dining room table. As seen on ABC. Narrated by Buck Henry.
