The inquiring minds at NOVA employ Swedish scientific photographer Lennart Nilsson to orchestrate state-of-the-art photography to show the making of a life. From the sperm journeying toward the egg, it captures the fertilized ovum's path through the fallopian tube where the embryo breaks from it's shell on day six, and the miraculous building of a human life with more than 100 trillion cells. A miracle indeed! 2002/color/60 min/NR/widescreen.
