The documentary Curiosity and Control ( 2018 ) contemplates how humanity’s relationship with the natural world has evolved over the past two centuries .

The Swedish director Albin Biblom enlists an impressive array of writers, professors, zoo directors, taxidermists and artists to explore these intricate, interconnected questions of science, history and ethics.

For another powerful reflection, watch the film The Conquest of Space , which tells the story of the fruit flies, primates, canines and other creatures that we’ve launched into space.
