What is The Botany of Desire about? Toggle content

Unfolding like a botanical detective story, this documentary explores the intricate relationships between humans and plants. Narrated by Frances McDormand, it delves into the fascinating history of four everyday species - the apple, tulip, marijuana, and potato - and how they've evolved to cater to our desires for sweetness, beauty, and intoxication. Based on Michael Pollan's bestseller, this film sheds light on the hidden machinations of the plant world and the ways in which they've shaped our culture, cuisine, and very existence.
