Edward Norton Hosts Strange Days on Planet Earth This Week on PBS

This four part special Strange Days on Planet Earth tracks how small changes in the environment have huge impacts. The series begins with Invaders, which traces the effects of insect migration into habitats that are free of natural predators. Asian termites take over New Orleans. Alian hyacinth plants in Uganda create a health threat by leading to the spread of the tropical disease schistosomiasis through a chain of ecological events. Actor/writer/director Edward Norton lends a little Hollywood charm as host of the series, which airs this week in most cities.
