The average person poops out approximately 11,030 kilograms of cumulative waste in a lifetime. That’s the equivalent of more than 6 SUVs. Oftentimes, that poop is brown. Why is that, considering all the comestibles one consumes? And what’s going on when poop appears in different colors and textures? Hannibal Person explains the colorful choreography going on inside your bowels. [Directed by Flávia Godoy, Lívia Serri Francoio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Liam Mansfield, Alon Peretz, Francesco D'Andrea].
