SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS: What
We Can't See
This program combines an engaging story with the straight
forward commentary from expert speakers. We follow two
different scenarios that look at the health consequences
of a young couple's lifestyle decisions, and in the process
present information about a range of sexually transmitted
infections and the short and long term consequences of
contracting them. Particular focus is paid to Chlamydia,
Hepatitis B, PID, HIV, Genital Warts and Herpes, Pubic
Lice and safe sex practices.

THE CYCLE OF LIFE SERIES
What can the science of life tell us about one particular life? This three-program series explores
a triangle of basic human functions - learning, movement, and eating - and the dynamic roles
they play from birth to death. Weaving together high-tech animation, detailed anatomical
photography, and powerful dramatizations into a narrative framework, each program illustrates
particular phases in the life of fictional heroine Anna Martin. Coupled with descriptions of realworld
experiments in medicine and neurology, Anna's story becomes a journey through the latest
scientific findings about human growth, survival, and mortality.
HOW WE LEARN: Challenges and Rewards - a has built a successful business from the ground up
- and upon retirement, leaves the company to her employees, not to her son. What does that
decision tell us about Anna's psychology, and about the development of the human brain over a lifetime? This program
explores the emotional and neurological side of learning, explaining how the brain processes and stores experiences and
prepares for future decision-making. Employing superb dramatizations, the film depicts Anna's journey from innocent
teenager to philosophical retiree - and the changes that take place in her cortex, hippocampus, and neural synapses as she
faces and overcomes challenges. In addition, several influential brain experiments from the past decade are described.
HOW WE MOVE: The Brain and Biomechanics - the twilight of an active life, Anna is now bedridden due to a serious fall.
What makes the elderly - even those who are in full possession of their mental and physical faculties - more prone to falling
than younger people? As this program demonstrates, the answer lies not in the body or the brain alone, but in their
interconnection. Exploring Anna's past dreams of becoming a ballerina, the film shows how complex physical motion such as
dancing or even typing requires sophisticated coordination between the body's neural, muscular, and skeletal systems. How
aging affects such coordination, and how new artificial limb technology enables movement, are important themes.
HOW WE EAT: From Birth to Death - na was born with a sweet tooth - and as a young woman, created a successful business
using it. Her delicious jams and jellies gave pleasure to many, but did they also cause harm? This program explores the way
the human body processes food and how its long-term growth and development are shaped by eating habits. Illustrating
cellular aging and its relationship to AGEs, or advanced glycation end products, the film also draws a connection between the
bacteria an infant must consume to build a healthy immune system and the bacteria that consume the body at death. As
Anna's life draws to a close, viewers will understand that "dust to dust" is a cycle in which we take an active part - every time
we sit down to a meal. 12840/0635 Three 52-minute programs 2006 $219.95 each or Series $599.95
