America’s Book Of Secrets: The Pentagon

It is the epicenter of America’s military operations, a five-sided fortress with a single purpose, to defend the United States and its citizens. But behind the concrete walls and re-enforced windows are secrets. Enter the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense and explore the complex operations and top-secret business conducted at the largest low-rise office building in the world. How did the Pentagon get its unusual shape? How many people work at the Pentagon? What covert intelligence gathering organizations operate within the military compound, and how are their secrets protected? What top-secret information was compromised from the attack on September 11th? How quickly did the building and its tenants get back to business as usual? For seven decades, the Pentagon has been an icon of American strength and military excellence. But more impressive than the building itself are the secrets held there…until now

Are The Net Police Coming For You?

A proposed new law is threatening to disconnect the millions of internet users who unlawfully download free music, films and TV. Jo Whiley looks at how broadband use at home may never be the same, and could even be cut off.

Hijacking Catastrophe

This documentary examines how a radical fringe of the Republican Party used the trauma of the 9/11 terror attacks to advance a pre-existing agenda to radically transform American foreign policy while rolling back civil liberties and social programs at home.

Drugs, Inc: High Stakes Vegas

This documentary takes us inside the world of the drug dealers, gangs, and the Mexican cartel traffickers who are making their millions from the tourists who flock here looking for a good time. From the VIP party host to the notorious Playboy Bloods street gang who control the crack industry in West Las Vegas, to the Mexican cartel trafficker who uses three different identities to stay under the radar of the police.

The Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden

Meet the Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden as he opens up in this animated film about the 2011 raid and those three shots that changed history and his life. The film tells the story of the personal aftermath and startling failure of the United States government to help its most experienced and skilled soldiers carry on with their lives.

Alive Day Memories: Home From Iraq

Three-time Emmy winner James Gandolfini returns to HBO with the documentary special Alive Day Memories: Home From Iraq. The documentary about wounded soldiers surveys the physical and emotional cost of war through memories of their “alive day,” the day they narrowly escaped death in Iraq.

Wham Bam Thank You Scam

This is the story of someone who got scammed by a fabricated stock broking firm (actually a sophisticated gang of fraudsters in South East Asia). While the back story is fairly typical – a western man answers the phone to a seemingly legitimate American sounding financial adviser who is touting financial investments, and an impressive sounding firm, with returns which are attractive but no so attractive as to warrant suspicion. The man entrusts the firm with thousands of his life savings, and sure enough eventually the line goes cold, and when he goes to withdraw his money, it’s not there. So what do you do then? For most people the answer is a visit to the police where they inform you of the futility of getting your money back; and thus all hope of getting their money back or any form of justice is all but impossible. But not for this man! This man, Keith Jones, is not one to sit by while the world screws him over – he sets out to Thailand to track down the fraudsters and expose police incompetence, international loopholes, and the apathy of a major corporate bank. Informative as it is intriguing.

Inside Death Row with Trevor McDonald

Trevor McDonald goes inside one of America’s most notorious maximum security prisons, Indiana State, where he comes face-to-face with 12 condemned men awaiting execution.

Death Row Interviews

Every Saturday night in China, millions gather around their televisions to watch Interviews Before Execution, an extraordinary talk show which interviews prisoners on death row. In the weeks, days or even minutes before they are executed, presenter Ding Yu goes into prisons and talks to those condemned to die. Combining clips from the TV show, never before seen footage of China’s death row and interviews with a local judge who openly questions the future of the death penalty in China, This World reveals a part of China that is generally hidden from from view.

Alone in the Wilderness

Dick Proenneke retired at age 50 in 1967 and decided to build his own cabin on the shore of Twin Lakes. The first summer he scouted for the best cabin site, and cut and peeled the logs he would need for his cabin. Dick Proenneke returned the next summer to finish the cabin where he lived for over 30 years. Dick filmed his adventures, and Bob Swerer later turned the film into a video so we can all watch this amazing man build his cabin by hand.

The Truth 365

In less than ten years social media has taken the world by storm. We can now communicate with almost anyone from anywhere effortlessly and instantly and the ways we use social media are endless: to stay in touch, for entertainment, to express ourselves, or to satisfy our curiosity about a planet millions of miles from earth.

Seeds of Death

Every single independent study conducted on the impact of genetically modified food shows that it damages organs, it causes infertility, it causes immune system failure, it causes holes in the GI tract, and it causes multiple organ system failure.

Land of Missing Children: The Rape Trade

Teenage girls are victims of one of the fastest growing industries in the world – sex traffic. India’s north east is famed for its tea estates and Himalayan views. It’s the ancient crossroad of trading routes between Bhutan, Nepal, India and Bangladesh, and the town of Siliguri has always been at the heart of international trade.

Mutation: The Science of Survival

Monster mutants lurk in the myths of many cultures, and we’re fascinated yet fearful of nature’s mutants. But mutants are closer to home than we think. Often invisible, mutations are happening all around us, in every living thing. They’re crucial part of evolution. Now researchers are uncovering how mutations actually work and that may help us find cures for life threatening diseases. As we understand more about mutation we may discover more secrets of the history and future of life on this planet.

One Giant Leap: What About Me?

Jamie Catto and Duncan Bridgeman travelled for 7 months through all 5 continents, and recorded in over 50 locations to create the most inspiring film and album they could imagine. Their mission was not only to gather insights on the huge universal themes of life from the most inspiring and illuminating people they could find, but also to seek out the cream of the world’s musicians and compose immense multi-layered music with them.

The Book That Can’t Be Read

Men have always tried to encode secrets, military communication, love letters, forbidden knowledge, and most secret text is eventually decoded, but among all of history’s cryptic writings one stands out. It’s the world’s most mysterious book written by an unknown author in an odd alphabet and brilliantly illustrated with puzzling images. For centuries, it defies all attempts to unveil its secrets. Now, for the first time, experts analyze the ink, pigments and parchments of the Voynich Manuscript.

Love, Reality, and the Time of Transition

All we need is love, but do we really know what love is? Love is a word that is sung about in songs, written in poems, talked about a lot, and it’s something many people long for, one way or the other, mostly in the form of a partner. We hear it a lot these days: be heart centered, be loved, love is the answer, love always wins, send love and light, and so on. People use it casually in conversations in their everyday lives. It is seen as the solution to all the world problems. All you need is love.

City of God, Guns and Gangs

It’s one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and also one of the most dangerous. In the slums of Rio de Janeiro violent drug gangs operate with impunity, with no regard for human life. Now after decades of chaos, Brazilian authorities are attempting to restore order. They’re using military-like force and a new approach to policing. This bold offensive is referred to as “pacification”, but will it work, and can it work in time?

10 Rules for Dealing with Police

Billy Murphy talks about how to deal with the police. He’s been a judge, but he’s best known as a criminal defense lawyer. He knows how the law works and he knows that for many people the law sometimes doesn’t work. He’s going to show you how to make the law work for you. The choices you make can have a massive impact in the outcomes of your police encounters, even if, and especially if, you’ve done nothing wrong.

The Nature of Existence
For The Nature of Existence, Nygard prepared a questionnaire with 85 weighty philosophical questions, ranging from Why do we exist? and Do we have free will? to Who created God? and Is there a moral yardstick that applies to all cultures?


















Turlock
In February of 2012, the owners of A&L Poultry – a 50,000 hen egg farm – stopped feeding the hens in their care, leaving the birds without food for more than two weeks.


















AFRAID OF PEOPLE
Social anxiety is anxiety (emotional discomfort, fear, apprehension, or worry) about social situations, interactions with others, and being evaluated or scrutinized by other people. The difference between Social Anxiety and normal apprehension of social situations is that social anxiety involves an intense feeling of fear in social situations and especially situations that are unfamiliar or in which you will be watched or evaluated by others. The feeling of fear is so strong that in these types of situations you may be so worried that you feel anxious just thinking about them and will go to great lengths to avoid them.

LICENSE TO KILL – EUTHANASIA
It is illegal in Australia, taboo across Asia, and a political and moral minefield to boot, yet poll after poll shows 80 percent of Australians want voluntary euthanasia introduced.


MILKING IT
Recent years has seen the British dairy industry in trouble, with hundreds of dairy farms going bankrupt every year. Sharcott Pennings farm (a part of Stowell Farm) is a great example of a thriving dairy farm. Proving that when done right, dairy farming can still be a profitable business.

GARY HARTSTEIN – I WAS JUST A DOCTOR
Dr Gary Hartstein, M.D. is the former FIA Medical Delegate for the Formula One World Championship. Gary has been key in developing some of the FIA’s new approaches and policies in terms of medical safety.


IT RUNS ON WATER
It Runs On Water gives viewers a clear message that Free Energy is on the way. Arthur C. Clarke explains how there were four stages in the way scientists react to the development of anything of a revolutionary nature. “Free Energy” was now working its way through these four stages of reaction.

NAKED CITIZENS
Increasing numbers of “terror suspects” are now being arrested on the basis of online and CCTV surveillance data. Authorities claim they act in the public interest, but does this intense surveillance keep us safer?

CHINA’S DIRTY SECRETS
China’s factories provide low cost products such as computers and cars to the rest of the world. But critics claim such economic progress takes a heavy toll, polluting the country’s air, land and rivers.

GUNS, CULTURE AND CRIME IN THE U.S.
For the first time in years, US politicians are discussing serious gun control measures. But millions of people in the country’s inner cities live with the threat of gun violence on a daily basis.

America’s War Games
The United States’ military expenditures today account for about 40 percent of the world total. In 2012, the US spent some $682bn on its military – an amount more than what was spent by the next 13 countries combined.


















SciShow: Great Minds
SciShow delves into the minds of some of humanity’s greatest scientists. 


















BRIDAL SLAVES
In the midst of widespread poverty, fueled by economic inequality and rampant corruption, a new form of slavery – bridal slavery – has flourished in India. Women and young girls are sold for as little as $120 to men who often abuse them.

Culture in Decline: Baby Go Boom!
If you watch the news these days it seems to be a lot to be concerned about. Nuclear, war, terrorism, mass shootings, bombings, corporate fraud, bird flu, bank,failures, unemployment, contamination, gangs, general crime, and depending on your temperament and conditioning perhaps you’ve already armed yourself to the teeth and you’re watching this show from an underground bunkers somewhere, waiting for the end of civilization itself.


















Statin Nation: The Great Cholesterol Cover-Up

We are told that cholesterol is a major cause of heart disease. At least 40 million people are currently taking cholesterol-lowering medications, known as statins, and millions more people are avoiding foods that contain saturated fat and cholesterol.

GIVE US THE MONEY
From Live Aid to Make Poverty History, celebrities have become activists against poverty. Bob Geldof and Bono have been the most prominent voices advocating on behalf of the poor.


















ON BOARD AIR FORCE ONE
Get the ultimate tour of Air Force One, including the President’s bedroom and restricted areas where top-secret technology is housed. Then meet the presidential pilot and the crew charged with operating this global command center in the sky.


Poor Us: An Animated History
The poor may always have been with us, but attitudes towards them have changed. Beginning in the Neolithic Age, Ben Lewis’s film takes us through the changing world of poverty.

Extradition

Extradition is a film that explores the injustices of the Extradition Act 2003 through the suffering of two individuals and their families. Talha Ahsan and Babar Ahmed held without charge can be extradited according to the European Court of Human Rights. They have been held without charge for over 14 years collectively. The court concluded that “there would be no violation of the applicants’ rights if extradited to stand trial in the United States”. These men have been let down by the British justice system and now face being incarcerated in one of America’s toughest prisons.

Resistance in the West BankVICE traveled to the largest refugee camp in the West Bank to meet some of the Palestinian youth, and to find out if the Palestinian Authority’s commitment to non-violent struggle against the occupying Israelis was a national consensus. While there, they experienced the extremes of violent and non-violent protests, from hunger strikers to jihadists. They quickly learned that Palestinian Youth Week was all about going to conferences and speeches.

Al Capone: The Untouchable LegendMyths have always been woven around the figure of Al Capone. Born in Brooklyn, he began his career in crime as protege to New York underworld boss Frankie Yale in the early 1920′s, and then moved to Chicago where he made himself a multi-millionaire from the protection business, gambling, brothels, and speakeasies.

THE FORGOTTEN MAN

It’s a case that has all the hallmarks of a spy thriller. Bradley Manning was a U.S. soldier serving in Iraq, when he allegedly downloaded classified files onto a disk storing Lady Gaga songs. It’s alleged he then confided what he’d done to a computer hacker. A short time later the authorities arrested Manning and he’s been in a military jail ever since.

SHAME

This stun­ning Special Emmy winning doc­u­men­tary tells the true sto­ry of in­ter­na­tion­al hu­man rights icon Mukhtaran Mai, a Pak­istani peas­ant who was gang-raped and pub­licly shamed in her vil­lage, but used her trau­ma to spark a le­gal rev­o­lu­tion that ex­posed cen­turies of bru­tal trib­al con­flict and gov­ern­ment mis­man­age­ment.

WHY WE HAVE TOO FEW WOMEN LEADERS

Sheryl Sandberg is Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer. She is responsible for helping Mark Zucherberg make Facebook profitable. Yet, with women like Sheryl Sandberg and Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer leading the way, there are still far too few women in positions of power. Why is this? Sandberg delivers a reflective TED talk on why we have too few women leaders. 

Sandy Hook Massacre: A Closer View on the 2nd Deadliest Mast Shooting in US History

That morning of December 14, 2012, several news outfit reported inaccurate reports about the incident. Media companies were quick to claim things which were not verified and which were later on found out to be untrue. Social media accounts and reports also added to the confusion. As an example, one erroneous report was that there were two shooters and only one has been neutralized. We later found out that there was only one shooter.

Global Transport Crisis: The Future of Transportation

The documentary features Necar 4, a unique automobile developed by Chrysler, which is an electric car unlike what has been developed before. Until now, electric cars have been weighed down with heavy batteries and can only run in a limited speed. In addition, these electric cars are only suitable for short travels as they needed to be charged every now and then. Necar 4 is an electric car that runs using the most abundant form of energy on earth which is hydrogen. This means that as long as we have water, this type of car can be used. Iceland is one country that is currently in the process of adapting this technology. It’s the perfect cost-effective solution for a country that has abundant reserves of free-flowing water.
