In 2003, a group of young artists quietly carried out an audacious experiment: they built and furnished a hidden apartment inside a bustling shopping mall, slipping in and out unnoticed for years. What began as a daring act of urban mischief soon evolved into something far more profound. As they secretly documented their lives behind the walls of consumerism, the space transformed into a refuge — a place of friendship, creativity, and resistance against the relentless pulse of commercial culture. Blending humor, tension, and unexpected emotion, this remarkable true story explores how a simple hidden room became a powerful statement about community, art, and belonging. Through rare footage and firsthand accounts, the film reveals the risks they took, the bonds they forged, and the quiet rebellion that turned an ordinary mall into an extraordinary sanctuary.

In the Taurus Mountains Simon stays with descendants of the original Turks, nomads known as Yoruks, whose lifestyle is under threat from the modern world and an increasingly religious government. They're not the only minority at odds with the authorities in Turkey; Simon sees first-hand the devastating effects of fighting in the country's Kurdish region. In an area where the government has detained foreign journalists, Simon gathers unique footage in the aftermath of a crackdown on Kurdish militants - the wholesale destruction of the historic centre of one of Turkey's oldest cities. Away from the conflict in the south, Simon heads towards the Black Sea coast. He meets a wildlife conservationist protecting Turkey's population of brown bears, and villagers who still communicate over long distances using an ancient bird language. In the country's capital he meets a victim of President Erdogan's authoritarian purge of people accused of complicity in the failed coup against him. Finally Simon's journey comes full circle when he returns to Istanbul - home to the new craze of 'Ottomania', a celebration of the vast empire that preceded modern Turkey. Simon visits the set of one of the world's most popular TV dramas - even getting a speaking role - based in the court of an Ottoman sultan

To survive Mars, our species will need to evolve how we eat, drink, and build our homes. Will we need our genes to evolve as well?

Evolutionary biologist Dr. Scott Solomon foresees a series of changes to our species from the size of our hearts and heads to the pigments in our skin.
