Can the world ever truly be prepared for "black biology?" This probing NOVA documentary follows an investigation by three New York Times journalists as they set about tracing the history of biological weapons for their best-selling book Germs. Traveling around the world, the program takes a terrifying, first-ever look into the remains of the Anti-Plague Institute in Kazakhstan (interviewing scientists whose job it was to build the ultimate weapon for the Soviet Union); reveals classified U.S. documents detailing America's own, truly frightening research into biological warfare; examines the development of a genetically-modified "super-plague"; and considers the possibility of a "super-vaccine" that could protect humankind against bio-terrorism. A harrowing program that not only shows viewers the shocking extent of black biology development around the globe, but also just how unprepared we are for its deployment, this timely documentary is definitely recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (T. Keogh)
