The Story of Us

Why do some people rise to power and others do not? Why do we fall in love — not just with romantic partners but with friends and strangers? How has our need to share beliefs built human culture? At a time when global events seem to be driving cultures apart, National Geographic’s The Story of Us with Morgan Freeman addresses these questions and reveals the common humanity that lies inside us.
