The Universe Within - Nova

NOVA takes viewers on an incredible voyage into the microworld of the human body to explore. Actually see the coordination of muscles, bones, heart and circulatory system that makes Mike Powell the world's greatest long jumper; the struggle of one climber to survive the onslaught of infection; the digestive dynamo that turns a simple sandwich eaten by five-time Olympic gold medalist Bonnie Blair into raw energy for a blistering sprint down the ice; and the ultimate event--the development of a new human life inside track star Karen Hatchett.
