In March 2022, the Russian army was closing in on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, and it was expected to fall in a short period of time. But in fact, many citizens chose to remain in their beloved city and provide resistance in whatever way they could. Despite daily missile attacks and the fear of an impending urban war, they were united in their efforts to protect their freedom and democracy. This documentary looks at the people of Kyiv through the eyes of a Ukrainian filmmaker.

From a teenage soap star in Australia to one of the most beloved pop icons in the world, this intimate documentary opens the doors to Kylie Minogue’s personal archive and reveals the woman behind decades of hits, headlines and reinvention. Through home movies, private photographs and candid interviews, she looks back on the sudden explosion of fame that followed her first UK number one, the tabloid pressure that tried to define her, and the emotional turning points that shaped her as an artist and as a person.
Across its three episodes, presented together in one complete viewing experience, the documentary follows her journey through fame, love, loss and survival. Her relationship with Michael Hutchence opens a new era of freedom, style and musical discovery, while later triumphs bring fresh pop success and the dream of headlining Glastonbury. But when a shocking diagnosis interrupts everything, the story becomes far more than a portrait of celebrity: it becomes a moving account of resilience, vulnerability and the extraordinary strength behind a career that has continued to inspire generations.

The demands of a celebrity chef, especially one that runs three vibrant restaurants and a fried chicken franchise, are rigorous.

When Ludo Lefebvre needs to escape the chaos, he heads to the lilting and poetic world of Paris in the spring, where the emphasis is placed on the joy and fun of life.

His eyes light up when he describes the Lobsters of Brittany, the Oysters from Cancale, and the myriad of other extraordinary culinary jewels.
In this episode, we explore how the oceanic bounty of France is some of the best anywhere by profiling the ingredients that can be pulled from it.

In the ninth episode, Steven's trial is over, but a new one is just beginning. Will the jury find the suspect's confession or his conflicting statements more believable?
