Inside the Living Body (2007)
Pioneer Productions

Description

The National Geographic Channel (NGC) takes you beneath the skin to reveal how our bodies evolve from birth to old age, and the amazing biological systems we need to thrive. From the producers of NGC's critically acclaimed In the Womb series, Inside the Living Body traces one "everywoman's story", using milestones to examine the everyday workings of a living, functioning body in ways not seen on television until now. Cutting-edge miniature endoscopic HD cameras delve deep inside the mouth, throat, heart, lungs, digestive tract, brain and reproductive organs to shed new light on how and why our bodies do what they do.

8.0 New York Times | Mike Hale

The images of food plopping into the stomach, passing through the pyloric sphincter into the small intestine and then squirting through the ileocaecal valve are eerie and astounding; they may not be for everyone, but if you want reality, it doesn’t get any more real than this.

6.7 Time Out | Andrew Johnston

Even before Living Body gets down to plumbing our depths, the documentary establishes itself as the stoner TV event of the year with a simulation of the world as experienced through the senses of a newborn.
