Naturally Obsessed, The Making of a Scientist
Human Interest, Science - 1x56

"Funny, lively, thoroughly absorbing documentary... smart tightly focused and deeply affecting, 'Naturally Obsessed' is an inspiration." -The Washington Post

An award-winning film that tells a vivid, suspenseful story about a trio of students going for their PhD degrees. They are in a race to beat the competition to discover the molecular switch that controls appetite in the human body--but the pressure is on, as each student struggles to give what it takes. Made by a scientist-turned-filmmaker, it is a rare and fascinating view of the world of laboratory science.
