In the heart of Zambia, along the banks of the Luangwa River, a raw struggle for dominance unfolds in a land both rich and unforgiving. Four rival families—leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, and lions—are bound together by fate as they battle to survive and claim this remote African paradise as their own. Filmed entirely in one extraordinary location, the documentary reveals how power shifts with the seasons, how alliances fracture, and how survival depends on constant adaptation in a kingdom where every decision can mean life or death. In the first three episodes, the fight for control intensifies. Leopard Mutima’s bond with her mother reaches breaking point just as the balance of power begins to tilt toward the lions, forcing hyenas and wild dogs to struggle desperately to protect their young. Leopard Olimba finds a mate, but fortune soon turns against the lion pride, while extreme flooding brings catastrophe to the hyena clan. As the land transforms and dangers multiply, the moment arrives for Mutima to leave and face her destiny alone, marking a turning point in the battle to rule this fragile kingdom.
This visionary documentary series asks a bold and urgent question: how can the power of nature itself help repair the damage we have done to the planet and even reverse climate change? Drawing on cutting-edge science and filmed across some of Earth’s most vital ecosystems, the series reveals nature not as a victim, but as one of our strongest allies. It offers a hopeful glimpse into a future where working with natural systems could restore balance, resilience, and abundance on a global scale. In the first two episodes, the focus turns to oceans and grasslands, two of the planet’s most powerful yet underestimated climate regulators. Viewers discover how marine life plays a crucial role in removing carbon from the atmosphere, and how vast grasslands, sustained by thriving animal populations, lock away carbon beneath the surface. Through new research and striking imagery, the episodes show why protecting and restoring these ecosystems is essential to our future—and how human action can help them recover.
Inspired by his late mentor, Will Smith embarks on a 100-day, pole-to-pole odyssey that pushes him far beyond his comfort zone. Traveling alongside scientists, explorers, and local experts, he climbs remote mountains, dives beneath polar ice, and confronts the raw power of nature. The journey blends adrenaline and curiosity, revealing how extreme environments shape life—and how facing the planet’s edges can reshape us, too. In the first two episodes, the adventure begins with sweeping ambition and immediate immersion. Smith sets out on the global route with National Geographic, then plunges into the Amazon rainforest, tracking dangerous wildlife and learning from those who know the jungle best. It’s a vivid opening that sets the tone for a quest defined by discovery, risk, and awe at the natural world.
In episodes 3 and 4, the journey intensifies as Will Smith pushes deeper into both the physical and emotional extremes of the planet. In the Amazon, he ventures into dense, unforgiving jungle in search of the elusive green anaconda, confronting fear, danger, and the raw power of one of Earth’s most mysterious predators. Guided by local experts, the expedition becomes a test of courage and trust in a world where nature sets all the rules. The adventure then shifts dramatically to the Himalayas, where the challenge is no longer survival but meaning. High above the clouds, Will explores the idea of happiness alongside monks, scientists, and mountain communities, discovering how isolation, altitude, and ancient wisdom reshape the human mind. Together, these episodes connect the wildness of nature with the inner journey of self-discovery, revealing that the greatest expedition may be the one within.
During 1959-1961 both the Americans and Soviets are planning manned space flight, and we see both sides preparing to do so with the development of the Vostok programme (Russia) and Project Mercury (USA). After difficulties and failures on both sides, the Soviets succeed in putting Yuri Gagarin into space first, with the Americans putting Alan Shepard up shortly afterwards.
