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 two episodes, the journey reaches the Pacific edge of North America and the remote wilderness of Patagonia, two spectacular regions shaped by powerful oceans, towering forests and extreme weather. Along the West Coast, wolves comb the shoreline for food, sea otters battle crashing surf, blue whales gather in a rare display of speed and movement, and giant Pacific octopuses devote everything to protecting the next generation. High in the redwood canopy, even tiny salamanders perform extraordinary leaps to survive, revealing how life has adapted to one of the continent’s most dramatic coastal environments. The series then travels to the far south of the Americas, where Patagonia delivers a fittingly wild finale. Pumas stalk guanacos through snowy mountains, rockhopper penguins fight their way through violent waves to reach their colonies, giant stag beetles climb immense trees to compete for mates, and elephant seals clash for dominance along the coast. In one of the most remarkable scenes, a family of orcas passes down a dangerous hunting technique from one generation to the next, showing how survival here depends not only on strength, but also on experience, cooperation and learning.
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.

Supertramp's 'Breakfast in America' was the biggest selling album in the world in 1979. Following the album's release Supertramp embarked on a 10 month world tour which arrived in Paris at the end of November. Now, transferred and restored from the original 16mm film, this footage is available to Supertramp's legion of fans worldwide. In July 2006, the original master tapes of the album 'Supertramp: Live In Paris' were rediscovered in the Northern California barn of the band's drummer Bob Siebenberg, along with video footage. The tapes were sent to Cups 'N Strings Studios in Woodland Hills, California, for digital remastering. The tapes were initially in bad technical shape, but were successfully transferred to a digital format. The original idea was to feature heavily footage of Paris, adding a story in The Song Remains the Same. The sound was remixed by Peter Henderson and Supertramp's original sound engineer Russel Pope from the original multi-tracks.
