Fifteen years after becoming a global sensation as the tallest man on Earth, Sultan Kosen returns in a deeply personal and emotionally charged documentary that reveals the hidden cost of living inside a body that never stopped growing. Standing over 2.51 metres tall, Sultan became famous across the world, but behind the records and media attention was a painful battle against a rare medical condition that threatened both his mobility and his life. Now, as worsening health problems force him to rely increasingly on wheelchairs, he travels to London for critical medical evaluations that could determine whether his body can still be saved. At the same time, another life-changing moment approaches: Guinness World Records must officially measure him once again to decide whether he still holds the title that shaped his entire identity. But beyond the fame, the documentary reveals a far more intimate story — his failed marriage, his loneliness, and his continuing hope of finding love and building a family. Combining emotional honesty, medical suspense, and the extraordinary reality of a man unlike any other, the film builds toward a gripping conclusion that could change Sultan’s future forever.
The strategic battle for Guadalcanal became one of the fiercest air campaigns of the Second World War, where exhausted American pilots flying rugged F4F Wildcat fighters and later the more powerful F4U Corsairs faced relentless Japanese Zero fighters in deadly combat above the Pacific.

It becomes an especially compelling experience for anyone fascinated by military aviation, aircraft history, and the savage air battles that shaped the Pacific War.

A chilling investigation dives into the looming threat scientists call “Disease X” — an unknown pathogen capable of triggering the next global pandemic. Led by physician and broadcaster Chris van Tulleken, the documentary explores how modern life, global travel, and human–animal contact are creating the perfect conditions for a catastrophic outbreak. What begins as a scientific inquiry quickly becomes a race against time to understand how close we may already be to the next crisis.
