Synopsis
Year Million, a six-part
documentary-drama series narrated by Laurence Fishburne from National Geographic, explores what it will be
like to be human one million years into the future. Today’s brightest
futurists, scientists, scholars and notable science fiction writers
including
Ray Kurzweil, Michio Kaku, Peter Diamandis and Brian Greene, guide
viewers through the very latest advances in technology, ideas and innovations
that likely will power the evolution of our species. Through illustrative,
dramatic storytelling, Year Million paints a version of humanity’s fate through
the lens of a typical futuristic American family, which includes a daughter who
is android. The series propels us into an odyssey of unfathomable choices
humans will face while questioning the kind of lives we’ll live and the people
we’ll become a million years from now. Year Million imagines a future when
mortality becomes a thing of the past; man merges with machine; intelligence is
limitless; and the human species becomes interplanetary.
