The film explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is catching up to us in ways once thought to be uniquely human: empathy, emotional intelligence and creativity. AI has the potential to reshape every aspect of our world – but most of us are unaware of what looms on the horizon. This documentary shows viewers what they need to know about a field that is advancing at a dizzying pace, often away from the public eye. Have AI the power to disconnect us from fellow humans? What does it mean when AI makes art? Can really AI interpret and understand human emotions? How is it possible that AI creates sophisticated neural networks that mimic the human brain? The documentary includes interviews with global leaders, commentators and innovators from the AI field, including Geoff Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Ray Kurzweil and Douglas Coupland, who highlight some of the innovative and cutting-edge AI technologies that are changing our world.
A chillingly realistic scenario unfolds: what would happen if a massive asteroid were hurtling toward Earth—and we only had months to prepare? This gripping special plunges viewers into the very real threat of cosmic collisions, combining cutting-edge science, expert analysis, and stunning visualizations. Follow the urgent efforts of scientists racing to detect and deflect potential impacts, with exclusive access to astronomers monitoring the skies. More than just a documentary, it's a wake-up call from the cosmos—a thrilling journey into one of the most dramatic `what if’ scenarios humanity could face.
In the shattered streets of Gaza, four young lives unfold with raw intensity and haunting contradictions. Ayman Alyazouri and his companions navigate the chaos of relentless airstrikes, makeshift shelters, and impossible choices—while holding fast to a worldview shaped by conflict and a fervent hatred they scarcely question.

This gripping portrait invites viewers to witness an unsettling intimacy with those who dream not of peace, but of vengeance.
For centuries, the precise workings of gravity have confounded the greatest scientific minds - from Newton to Faraday and Einstein - and the idea of controlling gravity has been seen as little more than a fanciful dream. Yet in the mid 1990s, UK defence manufacturer BAE Systems began a ground-breaking project code-named Greenglow. Nasa was simultaneously running its own Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Project". It was concerned with potential space applications of new physics, including concepts like 'faster-than-light travel' and 'warp drives'. Looking into the past and projecting into the future, Horizon explores science's long-standing obsession with the idea of gravity control. It looks at recent breakthroughs in the search for loopholes in conventional physics and examines how the groundwork carried out by Project Greenglow has helped change our understanding of the universe. Gravity control may sound like science fiction, but the research that began with Project Greenglow is very much ongoing, and the dream of flying cars and journeys to the stars no longer seems quite so distant.
Step into a gripping political thriller that uncovers the unsettling power of Christian fundamentalists in the United States. Backed by millions of dollars and direct ties to government corridors, this movement is not just preaching—they are mobilizing for what they call The Holy War, determined to bring about the prophesied Armageddon. The film takes viewers behind the scenes of their world, exposing the powerful megachurch leaders who rally their followers toward a "final battle" they believe will trigger the Second Coming of Christ. With unprecedented access, Praying for Armageddon explores the alarming intersection of faith, power, and political influence. It reveals how ideology can shape decisions at the highest levels, raising urgent questions about the far-reaching consequences of religious extremism. This is not just a documentary—it’s a wake-up call to understand the forces shaping a precarious future.
This BBC six-episode documentary film series presents the story of Auschwitz and the Holocaust through interviews with former inmates and guards and re-enactments. The first episode explores the beginnings of Auschwitz, and how the camp was originally intended for a purpose very different from that of the genocide of the Jews.
The documentary includes interviews with global leaders, commentators and innovators from the AI field, including Geoff Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Ray Kurzweil and Douglas Coupland, who highlight some of the innovative and cutting-edge AI technologies that are changing our world.
