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. To uncover where Disease X might emerge, van Tulleken retraces the fault lines of past outbreaks, from the deadly Nipah virus in Malaysia to the spread of bird flu among dairy cattle in California. Through frontline reporting, expert interviews, and unsettling real-world examples, the film reveals how fragile global health defenses truly are — and why the next pandemic may not be a question of if, but when.
Embedded on the front line, a journalist follows a Ukrainian platoon tasked with an almost impossible objective: crossing 2,000 meters of heavily fortified forest to retake a small but crucial village from Russian control. As the soldiers advance step by step, the camera captures the raw reality of modern warfare—exhaustion, fear, solidarity, and the constant presence of death—turning a military operation into an intimate portrait of those fighting it. As the mission unfolds, the film goes beyond tactics and gunfire to confront the deeper cost of war. The journalist witnesses shattered landscapes, broken bodies, and minds pushed to their limits, while doubts grow about how—and when—the conflict might end. What emerges is a haunting reflection on courage and survival, and on a generation forced to measure hope in meters gained at devastating cost.

Fly across iridescent tropical reefs, brush through a cloud of a million jellyfish, visit an alien world where the closer you look, the more you see, where the tiniest creatures support the greatest predators... We think of reefs as exotic, distant places with little or no connection to our everyday world. Yet every reef is a living city beneath the sea with a parallel existence to ours, distant yet undeniably connected. Reefs are hotspots of biodiversity as vital to life on earth as the rain-forests. They have been shaping our shorelines, literally forming islands and mountains, for millions of years. The fossil record shows that given time they have recovered from all of earth's major extinction events. Even reefs pulverised by atomic blasts at Bikini Atoll have regenerated. Yet within our lifetime reefs have come to face their greatest threat...
