“Laws of Variation” films very bloody deliveries of babies, with voiceover of Terrie Moffitt discussing the joys and traumas of human variation. “Tape1 Tape2” presents a mother of MZ twins explaining to a researcher the reasons why she adores one daughter and dislikes the other. “Nature’s great experiment” narrates a research workers’ view of the science, and describes her day-to-day experiences with families, some of whom harm or neglect their children. This art was funded by the Wellcome Trust.
