Around the corner and around the world, our documentaries range across the ideas, forces and events that are shaping our lives. Rare wildlife, unique perspectives, cutting-edge science and technology… The Nature of Things presents documentaries that will inform and always entertain you. Highlights of this package: A Murder of Crows - A visually stunning documentary that offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the inner life of one of the most intelligent, playful and mischievous species on the planet - the common crow. Inuit Odyssey - Inuit Odyssey follows Canadian Arctic anthropologist Niobe Thompson as he takes us on a visually stunning journey across the North, tracing the origins of the modern Inuit. The Brain That Changes Itself - For centuries the human brain has been thought of as incapable of fundamental change. But recent and continuing research into the human brain is radically changing how we look at the potential for neurological recovery. The human brain, as we are now quickly learning, has a remarkable ability to change itself - in fact, even to rewire itself. Downside of High - Teenagers who start smoking marijuana before the age of 16 are four times more likely to become schizophrenic. That's the startling conclusion of some of the world's top schizophrenia experts, whose research is featured in the documentary The Downside of High.
