Nanotechnology.

The power of molecular manufacturing – Nanotechnology – is huge. It has the potential to slow, stop, prevent or reverse aging. Yet, some fear that exploration in Nanotechnology may backfire and become a means of mass destruction. Is there a way to tap into the power of Nanotechnology without opening diabolical Pandora’s Box?

The curse of Oil.

Three-part series that goes on a revealing journey through the world's oil-producing regions, beyond the familiar territory of the Middle East. Nick Fraser Storyville Series Editor Now that the oil price appears to be rising inexorably at the pumps, newspapers are full of gloomy predictions related to our increasing addiction to perishable reserves of oil.

Bill Cran's series takes a somewhat different approach. We are in fact still amply supplied with oil on planet earth. The problem is that most of it lies in what we cosseted addicts regard as the wrong places. Getting enough oil to fill George Bush's SUV requires dealing with nasty governments or destroying the wilderness. But the relationship between oil companies, consumers and those who live where the oil is extracted is changing very rapidly. It is becoming possible for native populations to obstruct oil companies.

Cran's series leaves one with the feeling that there are no easy answers - but that, given the hysteria surrounding the subject, is no bad thing. It's also ravishingly shot.

The death star.

Out in deepest space lurks a force of almost unimaginable power. Explosions of extraordinary violence, are blasting through the Universe every day. If one ever struck our Solar System it would destroy our Sun and all the planets.

For years no one could work out what was causing these awesome explosions. Now scientists think they have identified the culprit. It's the most extreme object ever found in the Universe; they have christened it a 'hypernova'.

Obsessed & Scientific?

Is time travel possible? In this fascinating short documentary, director Jay Cheel explores the real-life theories behind the science of time travel and the strange subculture of enthusiasts who are obessed with it.

Meet Michio Kaku, world-renowned theoretical physicist and author of the book Hyperspace. Meet Rob Niosi, a hobbyist building his own full-scale home replica of H.G. Wells' time machine. Meet Larry Haber, the entertainment lawyer representing the family of John Titor, an alleged time traveller from the year 2036. Do these people know something about the world that the rest of us don't?

Obessed & Scientific is a quirky look at the intersection of science-fact and science-fiction.

Five ways to save the world.

Climate change is being felt the world over and if global warming continues to increase the effects could be catastrophic. Some scientists and engineers are proposing radical, large-scale ideas that could save us from disaster. Although these ideas might have unknown side effects, some scientists believe we may soon have no choice but to put these radical and controversial plans into action. "Five Ways To Save The World" was broadcast on 19 February 2007 on BBC Two.

Global warming or global cooling?

This January 2007 History Channel ‘Megafreeze’ documentary depicts a possible 'mini' ice age scenario just around the corner – hardly ‘global warming’. A growing number of free thinking climate scientists engaged in studying the sun's ‘global warming’ activities (the sun is 99.98% of the mass of the solar system) are growing increasingly sceptical about the ‘Global Warming’ rhetoric of politicians. The 'global warming' phrase it seems has been used to directly mislead the public into an intellectual acceptance of 'carbon taxation'.

However as the ‘global warming’ scenario like the one portrayed here shows - ‘lying’ is really the only ethical option open to Governments - whose pronouncements govern the forward flow of time and history. ‘Global Warming’ sounds a lot better than ‘Global Cooling’ – which publicly pronounced would collapse northern hemisphere based stock markets in a matter of days. What this overly dramatic ‘Global Warming’ documentary does is tell it like it is likely to be.

Ten years is one time frame mentioned in the film but some scientists are talking about 3-5 years. The phrase 'global warming' will, in under 2-3 years be patently obsolete in the northern latitudes at least. Is it helpful to over dramatise potentially real ‘global warming’ scenarios as this work does? Does this approach reduce the likely-hood of rational and informed scientific debate about the subject? Will the ‘tipping point’ about ‘global warming’ come in time for our species to re-organise it’s activities – or will it just be that we lose the ability to feed more than half of the planet’s population in under ten years.

Doom and Gloom? A wake up call? Business as usual? You decide – good luck!

War & Peace in the 21st Century.

Welcome to Loss Of Innocence By Simon James Kelly: Loss Of Innocence: War & Peace In The 21st Century is a shocking but profoundly psychological investigation into Mars' realm. [Mars... The God Of War.]

Experience yourself, how Mars, The God Of War, seduces humans into war through the immense & epic themes that comprise his realm, as well as through the tendency of his archetype towards the continual development of an enemy image. One of the darkest secrets of this human life is that we are easily led into being a warring species. Only by acknowledging and respecting Mars' influence over human affairs, might we be more cognisant of him - and thus avoid the pitfalls he lays across our path – and, the epic themes of his realm turned to the advantage of peaceful human life.

In Loss Of Innocence, hear about the psychology of war from the most important psychologist & philosopher of our age, James Hillman – as well as from Shakespeare, Jacob Bronowski and military greats such as General George S. Patton, General Robert E. Lee, General Smedley Butler and General William Tecumseh Sherman. With references to the work of Chris Hedges, J. Glenn Gray, and carried along by the humanistic spirit of great thinkers such as Freud, Fromm, Rogers & Hesse, Loss Of Innocence will unmask your innocence & change the way you think about war - forever.

In addition, whilst drawing on classical themes (such as the Greek/Roman myths of Mars, Aphrodite & Athena), as well as current events such as the 11th September (9/11), Loss Of Innocence seeks to educate at one of the most important levels of human experience, that of the psychological.

Two and a half years in the making, Loss Of Innocence is far more than entertainment, rather the film is representative of a higher level of distilled knowledge, and as such, is a bearer of the next level of information which the majority of human beings on this earth need to come to understand within themselves, if humanity is to establish a stable and enduring peace on this earth.

The lies that led to war.

Since the US-led invasion four years ago, the fifth estate has covered Iraq and the war on terror from virtually every angle--the military, media, intelligence, politics--revealing aspects of the story that you didn't find anywhere else.

Now, as the White House warns about the latest threat in the region, this time from Iran, it's worthwhile looking back to examine the deception, suspect intelligence, even lies, that convinced the world of the rightness of targeting Saddam Hussein. The political decisions behind the invasion The Lies That Led To War is drawn from these stories: In 2003's The Forgotten People, the fifth estate examined the human rights arguments used to make a case for war. We looked at the sale of technology by the US to Iraq during the 1980's despite the fact that this equipment could be, and was used eventually, in military operations by Saddam Hussein against Kurdish civilians. After the gassing of the Kurds in 1988, American business with Iraq actually increased.

In Act of Faith which aired that same year, the fifth estate examined how George Bush and Tony Blair struck a deal that would lead to the invasion of Iraq. It was a deal struck while UN diplomats worked to avert conflict in the weeks and months leading up to March 19, 2003. In the widely acclaimed Conspiracy Theories and the Unauthorized Biography of Dick Cheney, which aired in 2003 and 2004 respectively, we looked at intelligence failures leading up to 9/11, Dick Cheney's power within the White House and his Halliburton connections, as well as the links between the Bush family, the Saudi Royal family and the Bin Ladens.

Selling the war in Iraq In 2005's Sticks and Stones, we turned our attention to the American media and how they covered the ongoing war in Iraq, public dissent, as well as the increasingly hostile tone between left and right in American discourse.

Now, "The lies that led to war" provides context to the events of the previous six years, showing how political, diplomatic, media spin – which sometimes crossed the line into outright lies - have been used by the those in power to further their own agendas.

Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land.

Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites--oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others--work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported.

Acceptable use of torture in the USA.

The use of electric shock as a method of torture was first documented in Nazi, Germany, but today it is still used as an acceptable use of torture in the United States.

In Gwinnett County, Georgia, an un-edited police videotape shows 31-year-old Deacon Frederick Williams being struck with a TASER five times in 43 seconds, just 4 minutes after being led into the jail. He was handcuffed behind his back and in leg restraints, following an epileptic seizure at his home; an ambulance was called by his wife and son, but the police arrived first. His last words were: "Don't kill me, man. Don't kill me." No charges have been filed in the torture / murder; the County DA refused to show this video to a Grand Jury, even though another man in custody was murdered just months earlier after being tortured with a TASER by the same police.

While the Bush administration seeks to reinterpret the Geneva Conventions to allow the torture for foreign detainees, few people realize that torture is already 100% legal in the US when a US citizen is tortured by American State or Federal authorities. The torture standards now under debate relate only to foreign detainees, who presently retain far more rights than any US citizen. However, the Bush administration has refused to address the documented and widespread torture of its own citizens of which its own officials are fully aware.

The boy who sees without eyes.

Ben Underwood lives with his family in the suburbs of Sacramento, California where he attends his local high school. Like any other 14-year-old boy, he loves to play with his friends and chat to girls his age, with whom he seems popular. He looks like any other boy, until he removes his $4,600, hand-crafted eyes.

Ben is blind and, like other blind people, relies on some specialist equipment to survive. He uses talking computer software and a Braille machine to help with his homework. Ben does not have a guide dog, uses no stick, and does not even use his hands to aid his mobility.

Instead, he has developed something of a supersense: he is the only person in the world who navigates using clicks. As he walks, he makes a continuous clicking noise with his tongue. As these clicks echo around him, he is able to draw up a detailed mental plan of his surroundings and adjust his direction accordingly. So accurate is his technique that he is even able to go rollerblading on the street, negotiating narrow gaps between parked cars that even sighted children might find challenging. In fact, Ben’s mother, Aquanetta, finds that her son is far more attentive to the dangers of the road than his friends, always the first to move onto the pavement when a car approaches. But perhaps the most important factor in the development of Ben’s talent is the attitude of the boy himself. “Ain’t nothing wrong with me”, he insists.

Human footprint.

See what one life will consume and accumulate... How much will we consume over a life time, the numbers are a average so some will look high and some may even be low compared to your life. Still interesting to see all the milk a person can consume or how much meat we can eat, etc, this relates to ones personal situations. The program is based upon cunsumption in the UK. Meaning for the US or any country in Europe, Afrika, anywhere the numbers will change.

The torture question.

In "The Torture Question", FRONTLINE traces the history of how decisions made in Washington in the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11 - including an internal administration battle over the Geneva Conventions - led to a robust interrogation policy that laid the groundwork for prisoner abuse in Afghanistan; Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; and Iraq.

The lost pyramids of Caral.

The magnificent ancient city of pyramids at Caral in Peru hit the headlines in 2001. The site is a thousand years older than the earliest known civilisation in the Americas and, at 2,627 BC, is as old as the pyramids of Egypt.

Many now believe it is the fabled missing link of archaeology - a 'mother city'. If so, then these extraordinary findings could finally answer one of the great questions of archaeology: why did humans become civilised? A lot has been discussed since this was put out.

From Seattle Times (December 23, 2004): "A Peruvian site previously reported as the oldest city in the Americas actually is a much larger complex of as many as 20 cities with huge pyramids and sunken plazas sprawled over three river valleys, researchers report." Construction began in 3000 B.C (300-400 years before the people of Kemet/Egypt began the Pyramid of Djoser). These cities flourished peacefully for more than 1,200 years.

The future of food.

The future of food offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade.

What should every person know about the food they ingest. The documentary "The Future of Food" changed the way we think about food (and continues to do so) by answering this very question.

But, just how has food actually changed? Do we need to worry about genetically modified foods? What about artificial foods?
