Synopsis:

The Great Sperm Race, made in conjunction with scientists from the Wellcome Trust, shows the journey of 250 million human sperm as they race to fertilise a single egg.

The sperm are played by actors, who run and swim towards their goal. The immense difficulty of their task is demonstrated as they're shown negotiating some of the world's most striking landscapes - the Canadian Rockies show the epic proportions of the vagina relative to the sperm, while buildings on London's South Bank illustrate the intricacies of the cervix. Computer graphics and contributions from scientists combine with these recontructions to give a vivid and informative view of the creation of human life.
