5.0 out of 5 stars Great Documentary, December 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Botany of Desire (DVD)
This documentary was well produced and the subject matter was fascinating. I never knew that apples and potatoes had such variety or deep histories. This film was an eye opener into the world of human plant use that should be seen by all horticulturists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Five-Star Gift from Michael Pollan, October 29, 2009
This review is from: The Botany of Desire (DVD)
Michael Pollan--it just occurred to me how close his name is to "pollen--garners five stars from me for this excellent PBS documentary based on his book, "Botany of Desire". This program was produced by Pollan's long-time friend Michael Schwartz, and their collaboration gives us a little work of art that's way greater than the sum of its parts.

Congrats to both Michaels. Buy this video and learn its many lessons.

3.0 out of 5 stars Botany of Desire, December 5, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Botany of Desire (DVD)
Although the movie itself was great I was very disappointed that it was not closed captioned as it claimed to be. As a deaf person who relies on closed captioning nothing is more frustrating....
