For centuries, in Japan, mollusc fishing has been a women business. 360° Geo - Report takes a plunge into the closed world of a group of "Ama".For centuries, diving for seafood in Japan has been 'ladies work' and is done by "Ama", or "women of the sea". They carry on collecting the precious seafood from the sea bottom until well into old age, braving the depths by the sheer virtue of their breath. Their skin is tanned by the elements, their voice roughened, deep and loud.For centuries, 9 women from the Japanese peninsula of Shima have shared their fate on a boat and grown together to become a close-knit sea-faring family. Kazu Yamamoto, at nearly 80 years of age, is the oldest in the group, a 5th-generation 'Ama'. She has by no means thought about giving up her work yet: "In the sea I can feel and move my body better than a shore. Once in the water all pain disappears, also suddenly my back doesn't hurt anymore", Kazu Yamamoto explains.

The report accompanies Austrian farmers in the highest mountain of the country - the Glossglockner - from July until Christmas, throughout the changing seasons. It is mid-June and summer is finding its way into the valleys of East Tyrol, even though the Hohe Tauern Mountains are still covered with snow. In the distance, the Grossglockner gleams bright white above the Tyrol mountain village of Kals. This summer, mountain climbers from all over the world will scale the Grossglockner. Toni Riepler, a mountain guide from Kals and his wife Gitti have a lot of work to do. They run the "Glorerhütte", one of the oldest mountain huts in the area. For 3 months, from mid-June to mid-September, the family lives high up in the Alps. In the winter, they stay down in the valley.

THE ICE GIANTS. Beyond the asteroid belt lay the ice giants, some can be seen with the naked eye, others only glimpsed once by a passing probe. We are again sending cameras to the edge of the solar system giving us new insights into the evolution of our worlds.

THE MOONS OF OLYMPUS. These are the the Moon's of the gas giants. Each a unique and mysterious world of its own. Some have oceans of water, geysers of Sulphur or atmospheres of plastic. Some are just now being seen at the outer rim of our solar system, all are worthy of much more scrutiny.

S1 EP 10: CARNFIELD HALL. Carnfield Hall is a country house dating from the 15th and 16th Centuries. This private residence turn event hall is using its paranormal activity to draw in business. Are these spirits the old residents?

Nové archeologické nálezy, válečná vyprávění z první ruky, rozhovory s odborníky a CGI a 3D rekonstrukce se prolínají v tomto investigativním pořadu, jenž se snaží odhalit skryté stopy těch nejpodstatnějších válečných událostí. Jednotlivá bojiště se stávají otevřenou knihou, která přináší nečekané prvky a detaily a prezentuje konflikty a jejich kontext ve zcela novém světle.(Viasat)

On 16 June 1940 in Bordeaux, an almost stranger Under-Secretary of State for War decides to secede and to rebel openly against the policy adopted by the French legal government, which is preparing to ask for an armistice.

05: LA PALMA. The European islands are renowned primarily for their hotel resorts. However, we will show you a completely different face of theirs: forests, beaches, coves, mountains, valleys and rivers. Perhaps you will find places that will take your breath away. Why just lie on the beach when there is so much to see? Put on some good hiking shoes, pull your shoelaces tight, and get to know the entire island like the back of your hand.

EP. 5. It’s the biggest museum in the world…the museum of artworks stolen over the centuries and never rediscovered. These works haunt the nightmares of their owners, and occupy the days of hundreds of police officers across the world, as well as those of a handful of private agencies; no country or museum of importance can claim to have been spared. According to Interpol, art theft is the fourth largest criminal trade, after the drug trade, the weapons trade and money laundering. How could it be otherwise, when the soaring price of art propels the value of some paintings into the tens of millions of Euros? This world appears to be full of mysteries. Crime syndicates rub shoulders with petty criminals and the police care more about recovering the items than they do about arresting the perpetrators.

EP. 09. Camouflaged cats. Some animals will never be inconspicuous, others blend so perfectly with their surroundings that they can move through them without detection. For many of the cats of Africa, camouflage is key to survival. From the spots of the cheetah, the rosettes of the leopard and the stripes and dots of the serval, these cats have evolved to merge with their habitat. Hidden lizards. Feeding on these harvester ants, is a beautifully adapted predator, the regal horned lizard. Merging perfectly with their surroundings these small reptiles live in the rocky, gravelly, desert like habitats of Arizona where they make a living almost exclusively on ants. Cryptic snakes. In the leaf litter of Australia’s woodlands and scrub hides one of its most cryptic and dangerous snakes – the death adder. The camouflaging patterns of snakes are mesmerizing – from the pearly multicolored sheen of the carpet python to the mottled bands of the death adder, snakes can be hidden right before our eyes. Shimmering cuttlefish . Many animals can hide and many can disguise themselves to some degree, but few can rival the camouflaging capabilities of the magnificent cuttlefish. Cuttlefish can not only change color, they can also change their shape as well as their texture as they morph through seamless variations of themselves.…. and concealed chameleons. Making camouflage an art form are the verdant sauntering highly distinctive chameleons that make their homes in rain forests, grasses, trees and bushes. There are well over 100 species of chameleon around today, ranging from the tiny pygmy chameleon to the prehistoric looking horned chameleon, most are found in Africa and Madagascar. Birds. In the frozen climbs of the northern hemisphere winter, ptarmigans blend against their snowy surroundings. Invisible spiders - Crab Spider. There is one tiny creature that has evolved a camouflage that is so perfect in its simplicity it is often overlooked by the casual human observer. Adapted to their hunting terrain the crab spiders that are found on bark and leaves are darker in coloration than those found on flowers which is the master of disguise?

DOWNUNDER. A young French couple, Clémentine Bacri and Adrien Normier set off on a one year long journey around the planet on board a light aircraft dedicated to science and education. Their goal: offer aerial support to public research laboratories, an unique opportunity to discover scientific activities and use them to teach science at school. In research areas, the crew has implemented observation and modeling techniques that are key elements for research.

17 year old Ester and her dog Mia have big plans: saving lives at Lake Garda. In the north of Italy swimming rescue dogs are on duty at several lakes and the Mediterranean Sea. After traffic accidents, drowning is worldwide the second most common cause of death by accident. But a rescue is always difficult as the rescuer itself can be in danger. Like Mia, the Italian rescue dogs are mostly Newfoundland's- dogs who love the water and with a weight of at least 66 pounds (30 Kilo?), are able to pull people out of the water. For 3 years the dog- owners and their animals are trained to save lives. But the biggest challenge for Ester waits at the end: a jump out of a helicopter.

EP. 03. Peppered across Africa are a few iconic locations that are renowned for killing action. Arenas bathed in a history of blood, places where Africa’s icons have hunted successfully for generations. Predators here develop unique and clever ways to hunt. But the circumstances aren’t the driving factor in this story. Sometimes these predators look for the perfect patch of ground to kill, a small area of long grass, or a single path that leads to the perfect ambush. How do they amplify their age-old skills by using the lie of the land? The fastest mammal on the planet, Cheetah’s don’t only use speed to kill. They use look out points to scan for weak prey and a baby fawn as lure to get its mother to come closer. Africa’s heavy weight the Lion is twice the weight and half the speed of the Cheetah. They need cover to hunt down their prey, so they stake out ambush points in Gullies, Marshland and Forest, lying in wait for their prey the wildebeest. We follow three characters through the Ndutu rainy season, starting with the arrival of the annual wildebeest migration, through to the wildebeest calves growing up and continuing their journey to the north-west. The film looks at how our characters use the environment and features of the landscape to their advantage. Reflecting on how they have learnt this from previous generations and will pass onto the next.

10 years ago, Europe almost witnessed the first dying out of a predatory cat since the sabre-toothed tiger when only about a hundred Iberian Lynxes remained in existance. Still today, the Iberian Lynx is one of the most threatened species of predatory cat in the world. The documentary accompanies animal rights activists in their struggle to preserve and resettle the world's last lynxes. The current plan is to move the cats to safety.

The first documentary about the Human-leopard conflict in Sri Lanka, “Man Eaters: A Human Leopard Story” approaches the conflict by analyzing past and present cases of man-eating leopards in Sri Lanka and what led to their strange behavior. Unlike India, man-eating leopards in Sri Lanka are very rare.

The ethos of freediving is simple. The challenge: to dive as deep as possible on just one breath. The drive: to explore the ocean in the purest way. The goal: to make it back to the surface in a coherent state. In ‘Deep Blue Dive’ we voyage into this deep and dangerous world with Trevor Hutton, a freediver from South Africa, and reveal the extraordinary physiological challenges which have to be overcome to succeed in this sport. Trevor is a self-taught freediver operating on the periphery of the sport; southern Africa is not a chosen freediving location for good reason. The coastline is hostile, the swell runs high and the deeper water is frequented by every dangerous species of shark imaginable, the Great White in particular. Trevor is six feet tall and he weighs 220 pounds. This is a heavy frame to supply with oxygen, but he’s well equipped. His lung capacity is nine litres and his average heart rate is 43 beats per minute. As soon as he hits the water, a set of strange physiological phenomena take over. We see how nerve receptors in his face trigger a response in the heart – slowing it down by an incredible 50%. Simultaneously, blood vessels in the skin and outer reaches of his body constrict, while vessels closer to internal organs dilate in anticipation of the airless environment he’s plunging into. As Trevor immerses himself, a litre of blood floods from the body’s periphery and into the chest. This film will illustrate these startling changes using high-end CGI and will investigate the very latest scientific research into how the body adapts at extreme depths of up to 120 metres. Trevor’s quest to break the All-Africa freediving record forms the backdrop to the film. To snatch the record, he needs to train in clean, warm water so he travels to the calm waters off the KwaZulu-Natal coastline. But the ideal freediving conditions here are clouded by the presence of aggressive bull sharks. Trevor has to overcome his fear of these intimidating creatures and control his heart rate to dive efficiently. We then accompany him as he travels on to the World Cup in Greece to further his abilities, compete with the world’s top divers and gain experience. The Mediterranean is the epicentre of the sport and his journey here is like a pilgrimage. But as he returns to African waters, will this experience and the rigorous training regime enable Trevor to reach his goal and claim the All-Africa record?

This film is a visual thrill, a dream come true of men flying alongside the last Wild Eagle living in the Alps. It is the story of an unlikely encounter between Roi the last Sea Eagle in the wild in the French Alps and Kaaba a bird of the same species, but one that has been captive for years. With the help of one man who is going to change her destiny we witness Kaaba as she undergoes an astonishing learning process on the way to Freedom

AMRITSAR, SHIMLA AND MANALI: THE FAR NORTH. The Golden Temple is the centerpiece of the city of Amritsar, and probably the second most photographed building in India, but few know about the building or the people who built it. The most significant building to people of the Sikh faith, it is open to people of all faiths. We witness the celebration of the changing of the guard before heading into the mountains for a visit to the British influenced town of Shimla. Journeys then heads further north for look at the resort area of Manali.

AGRA AND ITS ENVIRONS. Agra is home to India’s most recognizable monument—the Taj Mahal. First, we tour the Agra Fort and learn its role in the incredible history behind the Taj Mahal’s construction. Bill takes us to a factory where we learn how the craft of stone inlay that adorns the Taj Mahal, is still made today. We continue on to Fatehpur Sikri, a former Mughal capital, which was created of red sandstone and displays the influence of its Hindu and Mughal roots. Finally, we meet with a man that is giving the wildlife of India a voice and sanctuary.

Today there are only 6000 Orang-Utans living in Sumatra. According to pessimistic evaluations the chances of this threatened species to survive seem rather limited. The main reason for their extinction is that their natural habitat is being destroyed for the more profitable cultivation of palm oil plantations. By today already 70 % of the Sumatran Island is already covered by palm oil trees. In addition most of the local population sees them more as an object of entertainment rather than a national heritage which is worth being protected. Since that common attitude in society is even changing it could still come too late for those anthropoid apes. Ian Singleton who moved here from England is dedicating his life to the care of these apes. Since 20 years, he is working to facilitate a refuge for the last ones of their kind so they could live again untroubled in Nature and maybe even decrease their population

THE OLD-WORD WONDERS. Despite the constant looming threat of globalization, some beloved old traditions, like the Szechuan chili and hotpots are still mainstays in Chinese culture. But while some traditions thrive, some face big challenges. A rare look at the enigma of Tibet shows a culture approaching a crossroads. Even the iconic pandas are dwindling if not for the aggressive breeding programs. Will old traditions stand a chance against the steam-rolling speeds and force of the new world?

Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, is today a so-called "museum-city". The small city center is invaded by thousands of tourists every day. But there is one sport tourists usually don't know : the calcio florentino, a violent game with no rules, exclusively for Florentine people. Struggling with the consequences of gentrification, the city is losing its identity and its citizens. But there is still one way in which Florence and the "Fiorentini" can express their own identity - the "Calcio Storico Fiorentino" (Historical Florentine soccer), a game that has been played in Florence for 800 years but only 3 days a year in the month of June! This primitive, tough and dangerous mix of football and boxing is played in one of the world's most famous squares, the Piazza Santa Croce. The players can hit the ball with their hands or feet, and they can stop their adversaries in any way possible. These two rules make the game one of the roughest sports ever played.

On the North-Western tip of Greenland, fathers give their boys small dog sledges as soon as they can walk. The toy is meant to teach them hunting, a survival skill for Polar Inuits. Increasingly fewer boys, however, want to become hunters. 12-year-old Qaaqqukannguaq is an exception. During the spring holidays, he is going to accompany his father on a hunting trip for the first time. For several days, they will cross the ice desert on dog sledges, covering the 70 km from Savissivik, their tiny community, to Cape York.

The region is wild and rough, ruled by tempestuous winds and seas. Its population proud and willful. Many of them still speak their indigenous language today. The Celts named Brittany “Armorica”, "the place by the sea". The Atlantic dominates life here, where tides soar, stone houses lie low against the storms, and where America beckons from the western tip. Brittany enjoys a special status among the French regions. Coarse and rugged, scarred by centuries-long disputes between English or French domination, it still boasts breathtaking beauty and authenticity. What does being from Brittany mean today?

Nebyla nejslavnější, nejvýznamnější, ani největší, přesto se však stala legendou. Amato Opera v New Yorku dělala svým divákům radost po celých 61 let.Tony Amato se svou ženou Sally byli opravdovými operními „srdcaři". Právě vášeň pro operu je vedla k tomu, že v roce 1948 založili soukromou operní společnost Amato Opera, jejímž cílem bylo přinášet divákům velké světové opery v komorním provedení a za rozumné vstupné. V roce 1964 se společnost usadila na Bowery v domě č. 319, čímž dala vzniknout doslova a do písmene nejmenšímu opernímu „domečku" na světě, s miniaturním jevišťátkem a orchestřištěm, a také velmi stísněným zázemím. Komorní prostory však nikterak neomezovaly tvůrčí ambice a umělecký rozlet zakladatele, ředitele a uměleckého šéfa opery v jedné osobě – Tonyho Amata. Operní dům uváděl každou operní sezónu pět nebo šest oper. Na repertoáru jich měl až 60 a jednalo se o ta největší díla světové operní literatury. Tony Amato operu vášnivě miloval a ve svém divadle se snažil svou lásku k opeře přenést i na své diváky. Jeho politikou bylo udržovat co nejnižší vstupné a uvádět zvláštní edukační představení pro děti, nebo zlevněná pro seniory. Jeho hlavním cílem bylo předat operu opravdu všem. On sám v divadle zajišťoval snad všechny profese. Byl ředitelem, uměleckým šéfem, režisérem, zpěvákem a v případě potřeby i kulisákem, uklízečem, nebo uvaděčem. A přestože to všechno může působit tak trochu amatérským dojmem, skutečností je, že na jevišti tohoto operního divadélka začínali i někteří z pěvců, kteří následně přešli k větším operním společnostem, případně vstoupili rovnou na jeviště Metropolitní opery. Tento dokumentární film byl natočen při příležitosti 60. výročí otevření Amato Opery v roce 2008. V květnu 2009 ukončila Opera Amato svou činnost posledním představením opery „Figarova svatba". Sám Tony Amato zemřel 13. prosince 2011 ve věku 91 let.(Česká televize)

There is a goldmine atmosphere in the Azores: in the crystal-clear water live 21 species of whales and dolphins. Their instinct for play and their empathy for humans make them a fantastic source of capital. Several whale-watching companies have been founded in recent years – and swimming with dolphins has become one of the most sought-after tourist attractions. But there are also critical voices, such as the biologist Maria de Cruz, who is attempting to find out how much stress it causes the marine mammals.

Ve vodách v okolí Kanárských ostrovů se shromažďuje mnoho velryb a delfínů. Nalézá se zde skutečně velké množství velryb - mistrů hloubkového potápění. Jednu velkou skupinu, jejíž aktivity jsou dokumentovány po dobu jednoho roku, vede samice Isora. Zatímco samice a jejich mláďata tvoří jádro tohoto semknutého společenství, samci zajišťují ochranu novorozenců a mláďat - jde o dlouhodobé úsilí rozhodné pro přežití. Od okamžiku kdy matka porodí potomka, sledujeme úzké pouto, které se vytváří mezi narozenými mláďaty a hejnem. Kromě toho sledujeme jak se velryby vyrovnávají s tragickou smrtí jednoho z mláďat. Nejde o něco, s čím se musí vypořádat mláďata, ale i zbytek velryb se musí vypořádat s nebezpečnými účinky plastového odpadu, nemluvě o jejich každodenních bitvách s velkou chobotnicí, která má chuť na stejnou potravu.

EP. 11. Wildebeest and Zebra - Africa’s most famous drifters. Hundreds of thousands of zebra live together in the Serengeti. Their distinctive eye-catching stripes are as unique as fingerprints and even within the largest of gatherings no two zebra will be found with exactly the same stripes. Turtles that make epic journeys to reproduce. The most abundant sea turtle in the world, Olive Ridleys' have extraordinary nesting habits. These small turtles migrate massive distances between their oceanic feeding grounds and the shores that draw them back to mate, and then to nest. Sooty Tern - Sea birds that don’t come to land for years. Like the turtle, once it has left land for the first time, a young Sooty Tern may not go back for years, spending all its time in the ocean skies until it is time for it to breed. Soaring on outstretched wings, these elegant seabirds feed almost entirely on the fish driven to the surface by the hunters below. Australian Pelicans - Water birds that follow ephemeral rivers. Pelicans – these quirky, comical, big billed birds are usually thought of as spending all their time around coasts and harbors. They are widespread in Australia’s lakes, rivers, billabongs and estuaries – or other waterway with enough food for their fish-loving lifestyle. The whales and whale sharks that roam the great oceans. Some of the greatest migratory animals on earth are those that live in its waters and traverse its great oceans. From baleen whales that travel from the nutrient rich polar waters and the whale sharks whose migrations we barely understand.

Lidé si o delfínech vymysleli řadu různých mýtů. Tato oblíbená zvířata nás v průběhu času podněcovala a okouzlovala a zdánlivě si zajistila místo vedle nás jako jeden z nejinteligentnějších savců na planetě. Nakolik jsou ale delfíni skutečně inteligentní? Charakterizuje-li inteligenci schopnost uvažovat, plánovat, řešit problémy a poučit se ze zkušeností, jak si delfín vede? Tento poutavý dokument nás vezme na vědeckou cestu do spletitého světa delfínů a bude zkoumat nedávné prohlášení profesora neurologie Paula Mangera, že delfíni nejsou ani zdaleka tak inteligentní, jak se původně myslelo.

Temná hmota je jedním z největších tajemství současné astrofyziky a kosmologie. Podle názoru astronomů tvoří 90 % veškeré hmoty ve vesmíru, avšak její existence byla prokázána pouze nepřímo a v poslední době se objevily určité pochybnosti o její existenci. Pojďte s námi zkoumat vesmír a zjistit co je temná hmota a k čemu by nám mohla posloužit.

Obyvatelé ostrova, který svým pobytem proslavil Napoleon Bonaparte, strádali dlouhou dobu stejnou izolací jako on. To by se však naštěstí mělo již brzy změnit... Ostrov Svatá Helena, na kterém byl po své porážce u Waterloo internován od roku 1815 až do své smrti v roce 1821 Napoleon Bonaparte, leží v jižním Atlantiku, více než 3 000 km od Brazílie a méně než 2 000 km od Afriky. Je to doslova ostrov ztracený uprostřed oceánu. Ještě donedávna tu zajišťovala dopravu cestujících a zboží mezi pevninou a ostrovem jen jediná loď, které trvalo pět dní, než doplula z Jižní Afriky do Jamestownu, hlavního města ostrova. Bez této lodi by byl skalnatý ostrov zcela odříznut od zbytku světa. Většina věcí, jež jeho obyvatelé potřebují, se sem musí dovážet, od zápalek až po automobily. To se samozřejmě odráží i v cenách zboží a ve výši životních nákladů. A právě to bylo také častým důvodem, proč mnoho místních z ostrova odcházelo hledat štěstí do Velké Británie, k jejímž zámořským územím Svatá Helena patří, případně do jiných zemí, kde se nabízely možnosti lepší práce a vyššího výdělku. Velké naděje přinesl obyvatelům ostrova plán výstavby letiště, jejíž zahájení v roce 2008 po létech diskusí schválila britská vláda. Letiště financované z peněz britských daňových poplatníků mělo ostrov zbavit izolovanosti. Vyhlídka nové prosperity podnikání a snadnějšího života na Svaté Heleně motivovala řadu lidí k návratu na rodný ostrov. Po propuknutí ekonomické krize byl však projekt odsunut na pozdější dobu a hrozilo dokonce, že k jeho realizaci nikdy nedojde. Pro obyvatele i navrátilce znamenalo toto rozhodnutí velké zklamání a mnohým přineslo i nemalé finanční ztráty. Tento příběh má však naštěstí dobrý konec. Od natočení dokumentu uplynulo několik let, během nichž se věci daly do pohybu. Letiště na Svaté Heleně má být uvedeno do provozu již v roce 2016.(Česká televize)

Patagonia, a land of eternal winds and unspoilt nature, is home to the world's largest bird - the Andean Condor, with its average wingspan of 3 meters. In many places, the species has already become extinct. Ornithologist Lorenzo Sympson has been studying the birds for 25 years now. Lately, he has been focusing increasingly on the young animals. This year, he even wants to attach small webcams to the birds' nests that will provide a unique insight into the breeding and rearing behaviors of the rare Andean Condor.

Vydáme se ke Střelkovému mysu v Jižní Africe, abychom sledovali, jak dvě populace sardinek ovlivňují bohatý a rozmanitý život ve zdejších vodách, obzvlášť kolonii terejů. Na západě soupeří terejové a tuleni z ostrova Malgas s komerčním rybolovem, který způsobuje jejich úbytek. Terejové jsou specialisty na potápění a do oceánu se noří rychlostí blesku. Prostřednictvím ohromujících záběrů prozkoumáme jejich pozoruhodné lovecké schopnosti, přizpůsobivost a statečnost v tomto drsném prostředí plném predátorů. Jak dlouho potrvá, než nadměrný rybolov zapříčiní selhání ekosystému? Dokáže se příroda bránit?

A man's life is disrupted when he begins to suffer from sleep paralysis.

Vysoko v horách na severovýchodě Madagaskaru žije jeden z nejvážněji ohrožených primátů na světě. Sifaků bílých už dnes zbývá pouze necelá tisícovka a tato oblast v odlehlém deštném lese zvaná Marojejy-Anjanaharibe-Sud je jejich jediným domovem. Zdejší rozeklaný terén v minulosti udržoval sifaky v relativním bezpečí, ale situace se nyní znepokojivým tempem mění. Toto malebné místo vážně ohrožuje ilegální těžba dřeva zapříčiněná zvýšenou mezinárodní poptávkou po vysoce vyhledávaném růžovém dřevě a ebenu a zbytky přirozeného prostředí sifaků decimují bezohledné dřevařské gangy.

A look back at the emergence of Internet freedom defence movements that have sprung up in reaction to growing regulation of the Web by governments and multinationals. Internet was created by hippies while being funded by the military! This improbable culture shock gave birth to an area of freedom that was impossible to censor or control. Yet for years, that is precisely what a certain number of political leaders have sought to do, prompting hackers and defenders of freedom to enter the political arena.

PHENOMENAL. Seg 1 Iridescence. Iridescence is the phenomenon where surfaces reflect a multitude of colors at once and could change color perspectives upon shifting the angle of viewing. Iridescence is caused by interference, where light gets reflected or cancelled out by the structures of the surfaces. Seg 2 Chemiluminescence. Chemiluminescence is the phenomenon of producing light energy through chemical reactions. The byproduct of a chemiluminescent reaction, instead of heat energy, is a photon or a light particle. Only selected compounds are capable of producing chemiluminescence, usually highly oxidized compounds when reacting with another compound. Seg 3 Bioluminescence. Bioluminescence is a form of chemiluminescence, only that this occurs in living things. Special compounds collectively called as luciferin oxidizes upon catalysis by enzymes called luciferase, producing oxyluciferin. Upon decay, oxyluciferin releases photons or light particles. Bioluminescence serve different functions for each organism, but all for survival purposes. Seg 4 Gemstone Coloration. A gemstone acquires its color through elements that are essential to its structure or through impurities, or elements that replace some of the metallic ions in the structure that will affect which colors in the visible spectrum gets absorbed or reflected. Seg 5 Mechanical Plant Defenses. Mechanical plant defenses demonstrate how survival instincts are incorporated into plant morphologies and physiologies by growing or producing various defensive features such as thorns, spines, and prickles to the less obvious ones like trichomes and raphides and less aggressive forms of defense like thigmonasty.

How do our brains carry out the process of reading? A professor emeritus guides us through this fascinating exploration of a high-precision neural mechanism. The film structures itself around a central question we ask as an enigma: how to reconcile the cultural singularity that is reading, developed recently by our single species, with the slow pace of genetic evolution, and therefore with the fixity of brain biology? Stanislas Dehaene proposed an astonishing scientific hypothesis: neuronal recycling. In other words, our cultural inventions, such as reading, resulting in the diversion of pre-existing brain function.

This film endeavours to show how the invention of cinema was in no way inevitable, and how it may well have been a mere accident. To pinpoint the start, it all began in the heart of Paris, in the depths of darkened room, on 28 March 1798, when Etienne-Gaspard Robertson gave one of his first screenings of his "Fantasmagoria" - making ghosts and spectres dance. But how did we move from perfecting the magic lantern to the cinematography of the Lumiére brothers? The invention was born throughout the 19th century, out of the unpredictable crossing of two parallel research paths - that of philosophical toys and the photography of movement. Originally-named optical devices - such as the kinesigraph, the zoetrope, the praxinoscope and the phenakistoscope, without forgetting the photographic revolver or gun - associated the realm of toys with the realm of thought, reflecting both a fascination for the magical effects produced by animation and speed, and a desire to understand human anatomy, and analyse the phenomenon of vision. All these pre-cinema optical devices literally stemmed from a desire for spectacle and the will to acquire knowledge. Robertson, Reynaud, Plateau, Muybridge and Marey spearheaded the adventure. Thanks to these brilliant inventors, we travel across the 19th century, ending in Paris in 1895 in the Salon Indien du Grand Café, where the first public movie screening took place.

TORONTO. TTH heads to the great white North…kind of. We visit the world class city of Toronto. There we'll head straight up the Western Hemisphere's tallest structure, the CN Tower. Next we score a look at the Hockey Hall of Fame and see a North American castle at Casa Loma. Finally we see how the British defended their city against the newly formed United States at Fort York.

Does the Yeti really exist? For the first time in over a century, the sometimes far-fetched Yeti legends and personal accounts have become the subject of state-of-the-art scientific studies. Several teams throughout the world, in Denmark, England, the US and Russia are carrying out a merciless competition to be the first to publish the revolutionary results – proof that another hominid, with very ancient roots, shares our existence. Our film sets out to meet the teams involved in this strange race across the world, and features laboratories, hair analysis, footprints and DNA as well as the search for samples in Indonesia and in Canadian nature reserves. A fascinating and thorough film, featuring, amongst others, French Collége de France paleoanthropologist Pascal Picq.

Tento dokument sleduje příběh Sultána, dominantního tygra v tygří rezervaci Ranthambore v Indii, který náhle zmizí. Filmaři divočiny, otec Mike a syn Gautam, ho sledovali a natáčeli od chvíle, kdy byl mládětem a nyní se pokusí po kouskách tuto záhadu vyřešit. V Ranthambore se během let 2012 a 2017 ztratilo 12 tygrů. Když se ztratí mladí tygři, má se za to, že se stali obětí pytláků nebo se navždy prostě ztratili, ale tento příběh je daleko složitější. Dokument pomocí příběhu o Sultánovi představí širší problémy tygří rezervace, vztahy tygrů s člověkem, s nimiž sdílejí jeden životní prostor, a různá úsilí k ochraně přírody v Indii.(Viasat)
