After Life. The Strange Science of Decay
Description
Imagine an average family kitchen. The fridge and cupboards are well stocked. There are flowers on the table. There's even a dead mouse on the counter and flies gathering above the fruit bowl. Over a period of three months, this film reveals the incredible science of taphonomy, following what happens to the organic matter in this kitchen as it starts to decompose. Beautifully shot, After Life is a journey through the heart of decay - from the towering branches of Aspergillus mold that sprouts from the surface of an orange to the spread of slime mold across a loaf of bread.
