Can a single plant or animal gene alter an entire landscape? Science now says yes, and A Thousand Invisible Cords: Connecting Genes to Ecosystems traces the 30-year journey that led to this remarkable discovery.

This one-hour documentary demonstrates that living things are connected in more ways that anyone thought possible. No longer can species be seen as isolated members of an ecosystem, but rather as genetically connected members of a rich interacting community.

The Arizona premiere of the special program will air in Tucson on PBS 6 and in Phoenix on Eight, Arizona PBS on Wednesday at 9 p.m.
