Botany of desire
Shows how human desires are an essential, intricate part of natural history. The program will explore the natural history of four plants -the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato - and the corresponding human desires - sweetness, beauty, intoxication and control. This two-hour documentary begins in Michael Pollan's garden, and roams the world, from the fields of Iowa to the apple forests of Kazakhstan, from a medical marijuana hot house to the tulip markets of Amsterdam.

Extreme by design
Extreme By Design follows multi-disciplinary teams of Stanford University business, engineering and medical students as they collaborate in the design of innovative products and services to solve problems of the world's poor. One project must create a breathing device to keep babies alive in Bangladesh. Another seeks a way to store drinking water in Indonesia. The third designs an IV medicine infusion pump. It's all a part of the Design for Extreme Affordability course inspired and launched by the Stanford d.school. The film begins on the first day of the course and ends eight months later as one group of students returns to Asia to test their device amid plans to launch a startup.
