H2O: The Molecule that Made Us

2020 · 1 season

A sober, globe-spanning look at a resource we take for granted, equal parts wonder and quiet alarm.

Overview
A landmark, three-part series that tells the human story through our relationship to water. We find out how our success is intimately connected to our control of the molecule, but that the growth of our civilizations has also created a dangerous dependence on a precious resource. One that may be about to run out.
