- DirectorMichele MelaniStarsFederico FantiVanessa LovenburgHans Cosmas NgoteyaCoral reefs are the greatest living organism of this planet. They are the lung which permitted life to exist on Earth for hundreds of millions of years. But today something has changed. The coral reefs are dying. Should this happen we would be witnessing history's latest terrifying mass extinction. An event at which we would not just be simple spectators, we would be the victims. Who is killing this planet's lung? Three young scientists, Federico Fanti, Grace Young and Vanessa Loveburg are hot in pursuit. But how can a geologist and paleontologist, a robotic engineer and a marine biologist find the killer of an organism which does not follow the rhythms of human beings? By studying the crime scene; which is exactly like the one which has been taking place before our very eyes for millions of years. The one which transformed an ancient coral reef into rock: the Dolomites. The Dolomites are the key to understanding the evolution of coral reefs and to averting an apocalypse. From Washington DC, in the headquarters of the National Geography Laboratory, where Grace is designing marine drones for 3D scanning of coral reefs (and possibly also future exploration of planets like Europa and Encelado), to cost in front the Saadani National Park in Tanzania where Vanessa is studying the sickness of coral reefs on the island of Montserrat, to the beautiful scenario of the Dolomites, the "crime scene" but also an inexhaustible source of clues and beauty. These three scientists, with the help of the latest technology, will face the spectator with a horrifying truth: we are killing our planet. But not all is lost. There is a way of saving the coral reefs. And it is buried in the breathtaking views of the Dolomites.Available on Disney+ December 9

- Did you know that you are more likely to die falling out of bed, than in a plane crash? Or, that there are on average 185 unexpected structural collapses in the UK every year? Hurricanes can release over seven trillion liters of water per day, and it only takes five centimeters of water to aquaplane a car. You might even be surprised to learn that spectators account for one in every five deaths at motorsport events. Imminent danger is all around us. The key is learning how to spot it. Danger Decoded reviews some of the Internet's most shocking real-life disasters caught on camera...with a twist. Before each catastrophe plays out, viewers are challenged to predict what is about to go terribly wrong. Will the parachute fail to open? Or will two skydivers collide in mid-air? Or perhaps it is the small aircraft; will the plane crash before the skydivers even jump? Choosing between three possible computer-generated outcomes that identify critical clues in the video, audiences can then "decode" each "disaster."Season 1 available on Disney+ December 21
- DirectorSharon LieseCynthia WadeFrom National Geographic Documentary Films, Academy Award-winning director Cynthia Wade, award-winning director Sharon Liese and executive producer Giannis Antetokounmpo, "The Flagmakers" poses one of today's most pressing questions: who is the American flag for? Employee-owned Eder Flag in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, sews and ships five million American flags a year. The flagmakers - locals, immigrants and refugees - stitch stars and stripes as they wrestle with identity and belonging. Sewing manager Radica, a Serbian immigrant, believes every flag has a soul. Ali, a war survivor from Iraq, is learning how to use a sewing machine after arriving in the United States just 90 days prior. Midwestern-born Barb's genuine friendships with her immigrant co-workers belie her staunchly conservative beliefs. SugarRay, a Black man born and raised in Milwaukee, reflects on his complicated relationship with this country. Each considers: What does the American flag represent in a changing nation and world, and for whom? "The Flagmakers" is an intimate glimpse into the people whose hands make America's most recognizable icon.Available on Disney+ December 21

- DirectorPearce Paul CreasmanStarsPearce Paul CreasmanKristin RomeyFakhri Hassan AbdallahThe 2,300-year-old royal tomb of a Nubian pharaoh appears nearly untouched--and submerged in rising groundwater. Nastasen's watery tomb is located at the ancient site of Nuri, which sprawls across more than 170 acres of sand near the east bank of the Nile River in northern Sudan. Seen from the sky, its most commanding feature is an arc of some 20 pyramids built between 650 B.C. and 300 B.C. These pyramids mark the burials of Kushite royals, the "black pharaohs" who operated as vassals on the gold-rich southern edges of the Egyptian empire, but who emerged as a force of their own during the political chaos that followed the demise of the New Kingdom.Available on Disney+ December 30
