About the Documentary:Alien invaders live hidden among us. The Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) is one of the world's worst invasive species and could destroy one third of America's trees. Now, for the first time, the ALB infests a city (Worcester) on the edge of a natural forested area. Follow the scientists, USDA officials and private citizens who are the front lines in the Asian longhorned beetle eradication war.
Bugged is the first documentary to present the national story of the ALB infestation in America and to explore the science of eradication.
