Engineering By Catastrophe

ENGINEERING BY CATASTROPHE explores how today’s most advanced structures are shaped by the disasters of the past.

It’s a gripping journey through the science of failure, resilience, and progress in engineering.

Aging Well Suzuki Style

David Suzuki is 83. That’s three years beyond the life expectancy for the average Canadian male, so he’s ahead of the game.

While everyone would love to live a long life, Suzuki is more interested in living a longer, healthier one - so he’s taking a journey to discover if he’s still alive because of the choices he’s made, or if he’s just been lucky to have inherited good genes. *David Suzuki won the 2021 Lifetime Achievement Award, Canadian Screen Awards
