Lifesense S01E02 - Seeds of Life

Enter a mysterious time world where plants entice bushmen to sow their seeds, melons expand, bushes grow and crops hold hidden influence over us. Here, sparrows shed wild wheat seeds and locusts devour crops before our eyes. In eerie slow-motion, cockroaches avoid our lumbering feet, using a special sense and lightning response.

In a world where chillies use addiction to encourage their fruit to be eaten and their seeds dispersed - and the humble potato once had the means to trap marauding insects - even the cabbage has a secretive nature. As we soar with parrots, flow with rivers of mice and swirl with the world's biggest flocks of birds, we discover the real winners of our partnership with plants.
