The Human Body
The Human Body looks at the biological processes that happen without our control and often without our notice. You’ll follow a family as they go about their daily routines. But this is no ordinary story. This is a tale of what takes place beneath the skin—a tale that allows us to see the extraordinary accomplishments of our everyday lives.

This unique film uses an endoscopic camera to journey inside the bodies of a rock climber, a ballerina and a ski racer as they push their bodies To the Limit in their quest for perfection. Give yourself a truly unusual vantage point to explore your body’s systems.
