Engineering By Catastrophe

ENGINEERING BY CATASTROPHE explores how today’s most advanced structures are shaped by the disasters of the past. From spacecraft and skyscrapers to tunnels and flood barriers, each episode unpacks the engineering innovations behind modern marvels - and the catastrophic failures that inspired them. Using expert analysis, CGI, archival footage, and real-world simulations, the series reveals how tragedies like the Apollo 1 fire, the Morandi Bridge collapse, and the Mont Blanc tunnel disaster exposed fatal flaws - and led to life-saving breakthroughs. It’s a gripping journey through the science of failure, resilience, and progress in engineering.

Dances With Cranes

Sea to Sea Productions

DANCES WITH CRANES follows the incredible journey of the whooping crane, one of the world’s rarest and most ancient birds, predating humans by tens of thousands of years. Once nearly extinct, with fewer than 20 remaining in the 1940s, these majestic creatures are still fighting for survival. This film explores the remarkable efforts of scientists who will go to any length to save them—whether performing mating dances or jumping from helicopters to study them in the wild. Over the course of a year in the life of three whooping crane chicks, we witness the challenges of bringing a species back from the brink of extinction, from the early conservation efforts to new threats posed by climate change. DANCES WITH CRANES tells a story of resilience, dedication, and the fight to protect an ancient species.

The Science Of Success

Smith & Nasht

1 x 60' HD

We used to think that success took talent, hard work and luck. Now scientists have discovered an extraordinary thing: success depends a lot less on ourselves, rather is a collective response to our performance. All those self-help books that tell you what to do are wrong because you have little to do with your own success. THE SCIENCE OF SUCCESS reveals an exciting, new understanding of how society works, and offers insights into how to achieve success. These discoveries have profound implications for society as well — the outcome of elections, the products we buy, the choices we make — they are all determined by hidden principles. In the age of Big Data, where we can track achievements like a GPS tracks our movements, scientists have identified the drivers of success. And even more astoundingly, they are able to predict it.
