About this item
Amazon.com
Nova delivers a bundle of gestational joy with "Life's Greatest Miracle," a magical, humbling look at the complex mechanics of baby making. Similar in content to the 1983 Nova classic "The Miracle of Life," this artfully designed show features the skilled microphotography of Lennart Nilsson and the jocular voice of narrator John Lithgow. But this time the emphasis is on how an egg, a sperm, and their talented supporting cast (hormones, enzymes, and so on) build a human body, complete with 100 trillion cells. The one-hour show follows an expectant couple whose musings about their unborn child nicely punctuate the stunning inner uterine and embryo film work. Exquisite computer animation illustrates hard-to-show processes, including meiosis (where genes are shuffled and chosen for sex cells). Best of all, Julia Cort's engaging script offers just the right blend of fact, humor, suspense, and tact to please viewers from high school age on up. --Liane Thomas
Product Description
The inquiring minds at NOVA employ Swedish scientific photographer Lennart Nilsson to orchestrate state-of-the-art photography to show the making of a life. From the sperm journeying toward the egg, it captures the fertilized ovum's path through the fallopian tube where the embryo breaks from it's shell on day six, and the miraculous building of a human life with more than 100 trillion cells. A miracle indeed! 2002/color/60 min/NR/widescreen.
