BASE jumping and car racing. Firefighting and investment
banking. Is there something about a relatively safe society that produces a taste for
adventure on the edge? Or is it perhaps something much deepersomething on the
genetic level? To find out, this program leaps into the world of those who thrive on risk.
Behind the numerous interviews with extreme sports enthusiasts and people in high-stakes
careers stand Dean Hamer, a specialist in molecular genetics and personality at the NIH,
and Marvin Zuckerman, professor of psychology at the University of Delaware. Together,
they shed light on both the culture and science of risk, helping to explain why some
people feel most fully alive only when courting ruin or death. (48 minutes, color)
