The Miracle of Life
Winner of the Best Foreign TV Programme Award, BAFTA 1982
Until recently, the process that leads to the creation of a new human being had never been followed in all its extraordinary detail. Now this film reveals what goes on inside the human body, as it traces the events that lead to conception and birth.
Using new developments in camera techniques, it explores a hitherto hidden microworld of astonishing beauty, allowing us to view in close-up the moment when millions of sperm begin their long journey; to watch the actual instant of ovulation; to travel with egg and sperm on their journey through the fallopian tube; to be there at the very moment of conception, and to follow the development of the embryo from the first divisions of the fertilised egg to the moment of birth.
In this remarkable voyage we are observers at the very beginnings of human life.
Narrator PAUL VAUGHAN
