- DirectorTilman RemmeStarsPhilip BrethertonImagine sea levels rising to over 70 meters - Eminent climatologists think another Great Flood is inevitable if current CO2 emissions continue. Based on research by NASA Astro-Biologist and Paleontologist Professor Peter Ward and a group of respected American climatologists, Earth Under Water is an eye-opening documentary uses scientific evidence past and present, archive footage, location photography and CGI to explore the terrifying consequences should the atmosphere's CO2 levels treble over the next 100 to 300 years, as predicted. Step by step, it paints a chilling picture of the world as the sea levels rise from between one and 70 meters, unravelling the science behind this cataclysm, revealing when it could strike and what its impact would be on humanity. The film also questions experts and politicians about what measures can be taken now to stop the current rise of CO2 emissions, and explores how extreme engineering will buy us time. But the message of this film is stark, spelling out in graphic detail the Earth's apocalyptic future that we have been avoiding.
- StarsJohn HurtRoger MunnsA cinematic experience bringing you the most amazing human stories in the world. Humans and wildlife surviving in the most extreme environments on Earth
- DirectorNicolas BrownMark FlowersTom Hugh-JonesStarsJohn HurtRoger MunnsNearly all human populations in coastal areas interact intensively with the sea. The food harvest is enormous, varied and obtained in various, sometimes ingenious ways, including cooperation with wild dolphins. Dangers and scarcity worsen for environmental reasons, climate change bodes even worse. Aquatic sports are also culturally important, sometimes even defining.
- DirectorNicolas BrownMark FlowersTom Hugh-JonesStarsJohn HurtDeserts cover a third of the earth's land mass, yet harbor only some 300,000 inhabitants, many of which are (semi-)nomadic hunters/herdsmen, making navigation and adapted animals, such as camels, vital. The only 7,000 years old Sahara, the planet's vastest sand-pan, counts many tribes. The stony Gobi enjoys melting snow, wind-transported in all the way from Siberia, but also counts roaming wolves. In the most arid Araucana, capturing the rare precipitation is an extremely refined art.
- DirectorNicolas BrownMark FlowersTom Hugh-JonesStarsJohn HurtIn the vast icy wastes of the Arctic very little grows. It's dark for months in the winter and the freezing temperatures make it particularly inhospitable. Yet four million people live there thanks to ingenious survival techniques passed down through generations. In Greenland, where food is hard to come by and dogs are a crucial means of transport, Amos and his son Karl-Frederik embark on a remarkable journey across the frozen sea. They then fish for the giant Greenland shark by drilling a hole through the ice. This is food that will keep their precious dogs going for months. As winter gives way to spring the Inuit, of Canada, take advantage of an opportunity that only comes with the most extreme tides of the year. When the tide recedes hunters venture underneath the sea ice, where they have just minutes to gather a bounty of seafood from the ocean floor before the water returns. The elusive narwhal is an unexpected source of vitamin C for the Inuit of Northern Greenland, whose land grows few plants. Using traditional hunting techniques passed down through many generations it is still a perilous task - carried out on the very edges of the sea-ice. Early and unexpected springtime melting of the ice adds yet more danger. Another source of food comes from the millions of little Auks that flock along the coastal cliffs to breed. Oshima captures the birds with nets on the end of a long pole. They are then sewn inside sealskins and buried under the ice as food for the lean months ahead. For the residents of Churchill in northern Manitoba coexistence with one of nature's greatest predators is tricky. Each autumn the town is invaded by polar bears migrating back onto the ice, and it's Bob Windsor's job to keep both the townspeople and the polar bears safe. Behind the lens joins a particularly dangerous narwhal hunt which is carried out on the edge of the sea ice at the height of the warmest springtime ever.

- Neither pirates nor cyclones nor the traffic-clogged Suez Canal will keep Emma Maersk from completing her mission.
- Mighty Ship Faust must weather ice, storms, and stowaways, while delivering thousands of luxury cars without a scratch.
- DirectorKarl JasonNo Mighty Ship faces more challenging missions than icebreaker CCGS Henry Larsen. She patrols the rugged North Atlantic, smashing through ten-foot thick frozen slabs, rescuing ice-imprisoned vessels, and keeping remote islands linked to the outside world. This winter, she'll be pushed to the limit when a major winter storm wreaks havoc on the Newfoundland area. Its small coastal communities are counting on Henry Larsen, and her support helicopter, to save them from imminent isolation.
