DESCRIPTION:
(from National Geographic Channel's press release, March 2014) With the explosion of infographics and big data, maps aren't just about geography anymore. They can tell us all kinds of things about the human experience. National Geographic Channel's (NGC's) new series The Big Picture With Kal Penn is all about finding the unexpected - and sometimes surprising - realities in both the world at large and our own backyard, revealed by crunching the numbers and finding new ways to visualize data. Produced by National Geographic Studios, The Big Picture With Kal Penn premieres on Monday, March 30, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NGC, and will air internationally on National Geographic Channel in 170 countries and 45 languages. Host and producer Kal Penn (@kalpenn) will take viewers on a journey to understand how things like money, sex, food, sports and crime influence our daily lives. Exploring and generating infographics from information banks and data analyses, The Big Picture With Kal Penn will investigate different themes through the mapping of new data, the creative visualization of information and in-depth personal stories with fascinating characters. |
