Did
you ever have a chance to observe an embryo’s heart beating, the
creation of its fingers, the formation of its brain ?
For
the first time, thanks to the latest technologies in medical imaging
and with the collaboration of the best experts in the world, we
invite you to discover how human life begins for real.
What
is the earliest stage in the birth of new life that we can observe?
How detailed are the observations that science and modern technologies
allow us?
The mechanisms brought into play seem so complex, innumerable,
microscopic that the very thought of explaining them and visualising
them seems like an insurmountable challenge.
Did
you know that you have one chance in 64 billion to become the
person that you are ?
The figures are dazzling and take us to the frontiers of the infinite.
It is not surprising that we hear the expression the "Miracle
of Life" so often; all the combinations and reactions that
lead to birth are so extremely precise and highly sophisticated
that they appear to be miraculous.
The images showing life germinating inside our
bodies were achieved with the use of a wide range of state-of-the-art
techniques including Microcinematography, Electron Microscopy,
Endoscopy, MRI, PET Scanning, Xrays, Laser Scanning, 4D Echography,
Fetoscopy, Thermal Camera etc….
Such techniques, which have been sometimes adapted for the needs
of the program, allow us to see with our own eyes the development
of a baby from
conception to birth in a way that we could only dream about before
With a highly scientific
and well documented content, « Inner Adventure » is meant
to be high-paced, lively and entertaining in form with the use of feature
films extracts, TV commercials and archives clips.
The innovative and modern style of storytelling makes it specifically
attractive to a young middle-age audience
