Sir David Attenborough presents Asia, an epic seven-part series that takes viewers on an extraordinary journey through the vast and diverse landscapes of the largest continent on Earth. From snow-capped mountain ranges and ancient forests to searing deserts and rich coastlines, this groundbreaking series reveals the astonishing wildlife and hidden natural wonders that define Asia’s breathtaking beauty and complexity. The adventure begins in spectacular fashion beneath the surface of Asia’s oceans. In this visually stunning first episode, we dive into a world few have seen—an underwater realm filled with vibrant coral gardens, mysterious sunken ruins, and pristine marine habitats untouched by time. Alongside renowned marine scientists and local experts, we encounter majestic whale sharks, soaring manta rays, ancient sea turtles, glowing jellyfish, and otherworldly nudibranchs. But as we uncover the secrets of these magical ecosystems, we also face the urgent environmental challenges that threaten their survival. Awe-inspiring and thought-provoking, this opening episode sets the tone for a series that is as visually dazzling as it is vital to understanding the future of our natural world.
This remarkable film offers a breathtaking, all-seeing perspective on one of the most eventful years in recent history. Captured through stunning satellite imagery, this documentary unveils hidden layers behind major global events, revealing the full scale of their impact as seen from space. From the mesmerizing path of a total solar eclipse to the relentless fury of extreme weather, the intense political landscape of the U.S. elections, and the awe-inspiring spectacle of powerful solar storms, the year 2024 was nothing short of extraordinary. The film also chronicles the devastating wildfires that scarred vast landscapes and the shocking collision of a cargo ship with a bridge in Baltimore—an event so destructive it was clearly visible from orbit. Through cutting-edge satellite technology, “2024: The Year from Space” not only documents history as it unfolded but also offers a rare and humbling reminder of how interconnected our world truly is.

For decades, scientists have sought to unlock the secrets of ancient DNA, a fragile genetic blueprint that rarely survives millions of years. Danish biologist Eske Willerslev had a groundbreaking idea: instead of searching for DNA in fossils or ancient tissues, he looked to frozen sediment. Initially dismissed as impossible, his work led to the recovery of genetic traces from over two million years ago, revealing lush ecosystems that existed before the Ice Age. These discoveries offer unprecedented insights into long-extinct species that thrived in warm, verdant Arctic landscapes.
Willerslev’s perseverance revolutionized DNA research, enabling scientists to reconstruct vanished ecosystems and uncover the genetic secrets of ancient worlds. By examining the DNA of past climates, researchers are paving the way to better understand Earth's deep history and adapt to current environmental challenges. This landmark breakthrough demonstrates that ancient DNA acts as a "time machine," allowing humanity to explore its distant past and draw lessons for the future.
The film unlocks the secrets to an innovative concept called circularity, an economic system based on the idea that nothing should go to waste. It's a deceptively simple idea that is at the heart of nature and the natural world, but very few of us actually live this way. And yet, it has the potential to save our planet's resources and save us from the ravages of future climate change. The film tells the story of four visionaries from around the world, whose thinking shapes and informs the concept of circularity: 102-year-old inventor Dr. James Lovelock, biomimicry biologist Janine Benyus, engineer and designer Arthur Huang, and financier John Fullerton. The extraordinary experiences of these very different people changed the way they think about humanity's future. Through the deeply personal transformation of each visionary profiled, the film explores concrete solutions individuals and communities are using to move toward a more circular society, rethinking everything from our food, our cities, our financial system, even our fashion industry.
The risk of human extinction has never been higher. Recent years have seen a global pandemic, a renewed nuclear threat and runaway climate change. New research predicts a 1 in 6 chance that life as we know it won't make it to the end of this century. This compelling science documentary looks at the greatest risks to humanity and what we can do about it. Are we all doomed?
