Documentary

Documentary

British actor Richard E. Grant presents a natural history series focusing on the seven deadly sins and their presence in human and animal behaviour. The history of the capital vices is explored through their use in the literature of noted writers such as Dante Alighieri and William Shakespeare. As well as Grant viewing the sins from a human perspective, scientists identify these traits within the animal kingdom and apply them to what they believe are survival instincts. Episodes show wildlife footage of envious lions and wrathful hippopotamuses in action.
