Superhuman Body: World of Medical Marvels explores the inner workings of the human body and the incredible breakthroughs in science and bioengineering that are changing the course of human health. Told through the inspiring stories of researchers, scientists, and everyday people behind these ground-breaking medical innovations, Superhuman Body shows the extraordinary ways our bodies work – and how science and technology help us to intervene, and even save lives, when our bodies fail us. Meet Ty Duckett, an adaptive surfer with an above-the-knee leg amputation who is living life to the fullest with an advanced prosthetic; Emily Whitehead, a teen whose childhood leukemia was cured after life-changing CAR T-cell therapy; Dr. Ayanna Howard, a pioneering roboticist whose medical robots help teach and rehabilitate humans, like stroke patients and children with social development challenges; and James Garrett, a retired flight nurse whose life-threatening heart condition was treated with TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement), an innovative medical procedure that does not require open-heart surgery. An inspirational film about everyday people getting second chances because of these medical advancements, Superhuman Body will inspire you, move you and empower you – you‘ll be amazed what your superhuman body can do!
