Secret universe: journey inside the cell running time is 60 minutes.

Exploring the human cell in the context of a viral invasion - the battle for control of the cell, this film tells the remarkable story of a single cell - from birth to death in the front line of the eternal fight for supremacy. Inside the nucleus of a primitive cell the swapping and mixing of viral and cellular genetic material takes place. The forced mixing of genes and the survival pressure to stay one step ahead of the viral invaders has driven the evolution of life on earth. No-one knows for sure whether viruses and animal cells co-evolved or whether we have a common ancestor.

Where to watch

Our secret universe: the hidden life of the cell.

This film reveals the exquisite machinery of the human cell system from within the inner world of the cell itself - from the frenetic membrane surface that acts as a security system for everything passing in and out of the cell, the dynamic highways that transport cargo across the cell and the remarkable turbines that power the whole cellular world to the amazing nucleus housing DNA and the construction of thousands of different proteins all with unique tasks. The virus intends to commandeer this system to one selfish end: to make more viruses. And they will stop at nothing to achieve their goal.

Review by Lucas ★★★★★

Hands down the greatest educational video of all time, I’m not even being ironic

Review by will denny ★★★½

Fucking cannot believe I’m letterboxing this right now but was on the edge of my seat watching this for my nutrition class. I’ve had to learn about this before but this movie made me genuinely interested in the war waging between viruses and blood cells LMFAO. One of the most interesting educational movies I’ve had to watch.

The fact that this educational video that I had to watch in my Cellular Physiology class is on letterboxd is why this is the greatest app ever invented.
