Brink Of Disaster

Across North America and the rest of the world, hurricanes, storm surges, earthquakes and sea level rise, create danger around the globe and lead to natural catastrophes. Our man made metropolises are at constant risk of destruction by these elemental forces. BRINK OF DISASTER shows just how devastating they can be and what the latest science and technology do to help.

Ancient Earth: Dinosaurs Of The Frozen Continent

Deep under Antarctica’s blanket of ice lies traces of a lost world of Dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures. Great forests once covered the now frozen Antarctic continent; gargantuan Titanosaurs roamed its valleys, and proto-mammals darted through the undergrowth. It was also home to the largest carnivore of its day, the Cryolophosaurus – Antarctica’s T-Rex. This two-part series follows paleontologists on a journey of exploration to uncover fossil evidence of these ancient animals and plants that once thrived here. They quest to unravel the mysteries of how these creatures survived in a land located in the polar circle, where it is dark for four months a year.

Why Are We Here?

Today, science says it has found the rules which explain everything, from particles to galaxies, from genes to our minds. But the explanation comes at a cost, for the rules, some scientists say, have no meaning. Could we really be creatures made to see and seek meaning in a universe where none exists? In this series, Oxford Physics Professor Ard Louis is joined by distinguished science documentary filmmaker and presenter David Malone. They travel to India, Senegal and the United States to meet some of the world’s best physicists, mathematicians, philosophers, neuroscientists and biologists to discuss and debate questions about meaning and the nature of the universe.

The World’s Deadliest Weather

With a climate crisis now declared, THE WORLD'S DEADLIEST WEATHER showcases the unstoppable force of Mother Nature, with increasingly volatile natural disasters and extreme weather fronts endured across the planet. Nature’s omnipotent power has the destructive capability to bring civilisation to a standstill… and all we can seemingly do is watch as it has claimed the lives of millions. In recent years, these extreme weather events have become more and more commonplace. Using incredible archive and astonishing user-generated footage of some of the most extraordinary weather the planet has ever seen, we’ll relive these weather spectacles in astonishing minute by minute detail, revealing very personal stories of people who have captured the entire event on camera, and lived to tell the tale.

Neu Earth

Neu Earth is a place and a time where humanity has triumphed against climate change. What does Neu Earth look like? The answer unfolds through the investigations of a future historian living in 2050 and looking back in time. Key global innovations become apparent: controversial cloud manipulation experiments, the enhancing of photosynthesis to create food and energy, and innovations in construction with bamboo and fungi. Efforts to capture carbon dioxide directly also loom large. The future historian discovers the origins of an atmospheric filtration system, and the development of methods to capture carbon by land, soil and sea.

The Good Drug

THE GOOD DRUG delves into our historical, societal and scientific relationship with psychedelic substances. The film takes you on an accessible and entertaining journey, exploring the new discoveries being made about historical uses, the political motivations that have led to public attitudes of today, and the modern research for their therapeutic properties for a host of mental health issues. Analyzing evidence from top experts across the fields of neuroscience, archeology, philosophy and psychiatry, the film allows the audience to decide for themselves whether psychedelics have the potential to be good.

The Science Of Success

We used to think that success took talent, hard work and luck. Now scientists have discovered an extraordinary thing: success depends a lot less on ourselves, rather is a collective response to our performance. All those self-help books that tell you what to do are wrong because you have little to do with your own success. THE SCIENCE OF SUCCESS reveals an exciting, new understanding of how society works, and offers insights into how to achieve success. These discoveries have profound implications for society as well — the outcome of elections, the products we buy, the choices we make — they are all determined by hidden principles. In the age of Big Data, where we can track achievements like a GPS tracks our movements, scientists have identified the drivers of success. And even more astoundingly, they are able to predict it.
