For a predominately visual medium like cinema, its musical component plays a vital role as well, especially its score. In that essential musical accompaniment, the soul of the film is expressed whether it be sweepingly majestic fanfares or delicate lyrical pieces. This documentary explores the artistic role of this special musical discipline that completes the cinematic artistic creation process and the artists who have devoted their careers to this contribution. We explore the form's history and examine the masters who defined it with their own distinctive artistic vision. In doing so, the various components of this delicate creative process are revealed as they create a musical compositional work that has inspired a popular appreciation of music in all its forms, which gave some old musical ways their own new lease on life.
When the rumoured whereabouts of Osama bin Laden are revealed, the CIA readies a team of seasoned U.S. Navy Seals for the mission of a lifetime.

The Seal Team bands together to complete their mission of justice in a riveting final showdown.
Physicist Jim Al-Khalili embarks on an extraordinary quest through 600 million years of evolution to reveal how the human brain — the most complex structure known in the universe — came to exist. With more than 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion connections, it surpasses even the stars of the Milky Way. Through breathtaking science and striking visuals, this documentary uncovers how nature transformed simple nerve cells into the ultimate thinking machine. From the first survival instincts of primates to the dawn of social intelligence, Jim explores how cooperation, relationships and empathy reshaped the brain and made us who we are. Working alongside his wife and leading researchers, he dives into fossil evidence, brain scans and the rise of artificial intelligence to answer one profound question: what makes the biological brain so unique — and can anything ever match it?
The natural world is full of colours. For us, they are a source of beauty, but for animals they are a tool for survival. David Attenborough reveals the extraordinary ways in which animals use colour: to win a mate, to fight off rivals and to warn enemies. New camera technologies - some developed especially for this series – also allow us to see colours and patterns usually invisible to human eyes. Ultraviolet cameras reveal bright signals on a butterfly’s wings and facial markings on yellow damselfish that are used as secret communication channels. Some animals can also detect polarized light, and specialist cameras can now show us how fiddler crabs see the world, and how mantis shrimp have strange polarization patterns on their bodies to signal to a mate or rival.
