- When searching the universe for habitable planets, you discover that most of the universe is incredibly hostile, it's a vacuum, it's freezing-cold space or you're burning hot near a star. The first habitable planet found outside our solar system is in a habitable-zone orbit; it's a place of refuge from the unbelievable harshness of the universe. Dr. Steve Vogt, a UC Santa Cruz professor of astronomy and astrophysics, takes us into the Lick Observatory, where he has devoted years of research to finding these earth-like planets.

Chilio Sanchez and Luis Gonzalez, from Las Guayabas, a small Huichol village, are working to preserve the oral traditions and histories of their people. In this unusual documentary they share some of the history, culture, traditional tales, and art of the Huichol.
