Previously unreleased prison calls, firsthand testimony and archival footage open a disturbing window into the world Charles Manson created around himself. Against the backdrop of the late-1960s counterculture, Manson draws vulnerable and disillusioned young people into a tightly controlled group built on promises of love, freedom and belonging. His manipulation gradually deepens into paranoia, domination and violence, culminating in the 1969 murders committed by members of the Manson Family, including the killings at the home of Sharon Tate, and in Manson’s delusional belief that the crimes could help ignite a racial apocalypse he called “Helter Skelter.” The story then follows the investigation, arrests and extraordinary 1971 trial, where Manson and his followers turn the courtroom into a spectacle and become symbols of a darker side of the era. Recordings of Manson himself are joined by voices from people who lived through the events, including material connected to followers such as Charles “Tex” Watson, Susan Atkins and Leslie Van Houten, revealing how charisma, coercion and group loyalty were transformed into lethal obedience. Presented here with all three episodes combined into a single video, viewers can follow the complete story without interruption, from the formation of the Family to the murders, the trial and the disturbing legacy Manson left behind.
In the final three episodes, the series follows animals being pushed to the edge as melting ice, extreme heat and prolonged drought reshape the environments they depend on. In the Himalayas, a snow leopard is forced from familiar territory, while an Arctic ground squirrel in Alaska undertakes an extraordinary migration and a young Arctic fox in Svalbard faces her first winter alone. These cold-adapted animals must rapidly change behaviours that once worked for generations as their frozen worlds become increasingly unstable. The struggle then shifts to the opposite extreme, where wombats, leopards and kangaroo rats are tested by record heat and worsening drought, pushing their remarkable physical and behavioural adaptations to their limits. In the final episode, attention turns to the people working directly to help wildlife survive these new extremes, revealing rescue efforts, scientific interventions and conservation strategies in some of the planet’s harshest environments. Together, these final chapters show that survival now depends not only on the animals’ ability to adapt, but increasingly on how far humans are willing to go to protect them.
From a small and aggressive republic fighting for survival in the ancient Mediterranean to an empire that dominated much of the known world, Rome’s story is one of extraordinary ambition, conquest and transformation. The documentary follows the decisive struggles that shaped its rise, from the wars with Carthage and Hannibal to the upheavals of Spartacus, Julius Caesar and the collapse of the Republic, before Augustus establishes a new imperial order. Military power, political rivalry, engineering, law, spectacle and ruthless violence combine to reveal how Rome created a civilization of unprecedented scale, but also planted the seeds of its own destruction. At its height, the empire reaches astonishing levels of wealth and power under rulers such as Trajan and Marcus Aurelius, yet the system becomes increasingly difficult to control. Plague, civil conflict, destructive emperors such as Commodus, religious transformation and mounting pressure from Germanic peoples, Goths, Vandals and other invaders gradually weaken the foundations of Roman authority. From the Colosseum and the grandeur of imperial Rome to Attila and the invasions that accelerate its collapse, the two-part series shows how one of history’s greatest superpowers ultimately became a warning about the dangers of unchecked power and overextension. Presented here with both episodes combined into a single video, viewers can follow the complete rise and fall of Rome without interruption.

As he searches for a local pub to expand his ambitions, Jeremy also faces competition, difficult decisions, and the constant pressure of keeping the farm running in an environment where success often depends on factors completely beyond his control.
