This is a testimony to both human ingenuity and short-sightedness. We bear witness to a world-saving discovery and our systematic failure to preserve its power.

A forensic look at the true story of antibiotics, far beyond the simple "Fleming discovered penicillin" myth. This episode would explore the ancient use of mouldy bread in traditional medicine, the fierce global race to isolate and mass-produce penicillin during WWII, and the brilliant, often overlooked scientists like Dorothy Hodgkin who mapped its structure. It would culminate in the looming crisis of antibiotic resistance, framing it not as a future threat, but as the inevitable consequence of an unfinished revolution.
