Product Description:

This documentary offers some vital clues as to why there is such a huge economic and cultural divide in the population of the world--and the results are startling. Writer Jared Diamond set off on a globe-straddling tour to figure out this conundrum, with the answers gleaned over a 30 year period. A Pulitzer-Prize winning book followed, and now, so does this fascinating visualization of his findings. Diamond posits the theory that guns, germs, and steel are at the root of all the world's inequalities, and he presents a convincing case for his findings. Drawing on a variety of social, economic, and scientific factors to back up his claims, Diamond takes viewers on a thought-provoking ride, resulting in a refreshing perspective that provides an entirely new angle for viewers to ruminate on.
