National Geographic - The Human Family Tree (2009)

Category: Documentary
Description:
National Geographic - The Human Family Tree (2009) Scientists use the DNA from a random group of people to show that all humans share common ancestors. On a single day on a single street, with the DNA of just a couple of hundred random people, National Geographic Channel sets out to trace the ancestral footsteps of all humanity. Narrated by Kevin Bacon, The Human Family Tree travels to one of the most diverse corners of the world -- Queens, N.Y. -- to demonstrate how we all share common ancestors who embarked on very different journeys. Regardless of race, nationality or religion, all of us can trace our ancient origin back to the cradle of humanity, East Africa. What did our collective journey look like, and where did it take your specific ancestors? At what point in our past did we first cross paths with the supposed strangers living in our neighborhood? Now, in The Human Family Tree, the people of this quintessential American melting pot find out that their connections go much deeper than a common ZIP code.

National Geographic - Seed Hunter (2009)

Category: Documentary
Description:
National Geographic – Seed Hunter Seed Hunter Solutions to this crisis lie within Mother Nature herself in the form of diverse genes found in the wild ancestors of our staple foods – and the man to hunt them down is Dr Ken Street, the Indiana Jones of agriculture. Ken and his team will travel to the land where agriculture began nearly 10,000 years ago. In the remotest parts of the Middle East and Central Asia, the genetic origins of our daily bread and other food still survive. The crops growing here have taken centuries to develop robust genetic traits that allow them to thrive in the harshest of climates. Scientists around the world want access to these genes so they may be integrated into food crops compromised by global warming.

National Geographic - China's Lost Girls

Category: Documentary
Description:
National Geographic Ultimate Explorer host Lisa Ling examines the consequences of China's two-decade-old, "one-child policy" designed to curb the country's exploding population. Due to cultural, social and economic factors, traditional preference leans toward boys, so girls are often hidden, aborted, or abandoned. As a result, tens of thousands of girls end up in orphanages across China. Today, more than one quarter of all babies adopted from abroad by American families come from China�and nearly all are girls. Ling joins some of these families as they travel to China to meet their new daughters for the first time. Along this emotional journey, she shares in the joy of these growing families and also witnesses firsthand China's gender gap, its roots, and its possible repercussions. Join Ultimate Explorer as Ling explores the many complex issues surrounding China's attempt to slow its swelling tide of humanity. � 2004

Inside Guantanamo (2009)

Category: Documentary
Description:
The naval base at Guantanamo Bay secured a place in the annals of history when the first wave of detainees from America's War on Terror – men dubbed "the worst of the worst" – arrived in 2002. A symbol of freedom protected or freedom tragically betrayed, the controversies of Guantanamo embody the thorny issues of America's fight against an enemy that wears no uniform, has no address and will declare no armistice, and an administration's battle to keep prisoners beyond the reach of due process in American courts. The goings-on inside the wire encircling this highly classified camp have been a closely held government secret — until now. For the first time, National Geographic exclusively captures day-to-day life in the most famous prison in the world, exploring the ongoing daily struggle between the guard force of dedicated young military personnel and the equally dedicated more than 200 detainees, many of whom are still in legal limbo after being held have been held without charge for years.
