The Botany of Desire is adapted from Michael Pollan’s best-selling book, about how human desires are an essential, intricate part of natural history. The documentary explores the natural history of four plants–the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato–and the corresponding human desires–sweetness, beauty, intoxication and controlling nature–that link their destinies to our own.
