Monsters of God Ep 4-5

   2026    Culture
In the final two episodes of the series, the reptile trade enters a new and even more lucrative era. After prison, Tommy Crutchfield returns to find an industry transformed by the rise of genetically altered “morphs”, rare colour and pattern variations that can sell for enormous sums. What appears to be a more legitimate breeding business quickly collides again with illegal trafficking, as Operation Chameleon begins to expose the international network linking collectors, dealers and even major zoological institutions.
The investigation then closes in on Anson Wong, the Malaysian trafficker described as one of the most powerful figures in the global reptile trade. As U.S. Fish and Wildlife agents work undercover to penetrate his organization, the story expands from rare snakes and lizards to critically endangered species such as the ploughshare tortoise, whose extraordinary black-market value has helped drive it toward extinction in the wild. These final episodes reveal how obsession, vast profits, corruption and international demand can turn the pursuit of exotic animals into a criminal empire with devastating consequences for wildlife.

Conversations with a Killer: The Charles Manson Tapes

   2026    History
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.

Mourinho

   2026    History
Few managers have changed football as dramatically—or divided opinion as fiercely—as José Mourinho. From his explosive arrival at Chelsea in 2004, where confidence, tactical brilliance and relentless ambition quickly earned him the name The Special One, this documentary follows the rise of a coach who turned winning into an obsession and himself into one of the most recognizable figures in world sport. Frank Lampard, John Terry, Sir Alex Ferguson and other key voices recall the intensity of those early years, while Mourinho reflects on the victories, power struggles and confrontations that shaped both his teams and his reputation.
The story then moves through his extraordinary triumphs at Inter Milan and the ferocious challenge of Real Madrid, where he set out to break Barcelona’s dominance and reignite one of football’s greatest rivalries. Zlatan Ibrahimović, Luís Figo, Iker Casillas, Samuel Eto’o and others offer an insider’s view of a manager capable of inspiring fierce loyalty, provoking bitter conflict and transforming the mentality of entire clubs. Presented here with all three episodes combined into a single video, viewers can follow the complete journey without interruption—from the birth of “The Special One” to the battles, trophies, controversies and personal sacrifices that made Mourinho one of football’s most successful and compelling managers.

The Odyssey with Dan Snow

   2026    Culture    HD
Dan Snow follows the route of Odysseus across the Mediterranean, beginning with the world of Troy and the Bronze Age warriors who inspired Homer’s epic. Sailing through Greece and the Ionian islands, he explores places traditionally associated with the Cyclops, Circe, the Sirens and other episodes of the hero’s long journey home, while examining the archaeology and historical evidence behind the legends.
Along the way, Dan asks how much of the story may preserve memories of real places, peoples and events from the ancient Greek world. His voyage ends at Ithaca, where Odysseus’s struggle to return to his family reaches its climax. Combining myth, history, archaeology and travel, this documentary reveals how one ancient story became one of the most influential adventures ever told.

Shipwrecked: Nightmare at Sea

   2026    Culture
What begins as a dream Mediterranean holiday turns into an unimaginable fight for survival. On the night of January 13, 2012, passengers aboard the luxurious Costa Concordia are dining and putting children to bed when the ship sails dangerously close to the Italian island of Giglio and strikes underwater rocks. As the vessel loses power and begins to flood and tilt, confusion spreads through its glittering corridors. Passengers are initially told there is only an electrical problem, while precious minutes pass before an evacuation is ordered and lifeboats become increasingly difficult to launch.
Through extraordinary footage recorded by those on board, black-box communications and deeply personal survivor testimony, the disaster unfolds almost minute by minute: Families desperately searching for a way off the ship, crew members risking their lives to help strangers, passengers trapped as corridors become walls, and rescuers entering the enormous wreck while it threatens to shift beneath them. Behind the terrifying struggle to survive emerges an equally disturbing question—how could a modern cruise ship carrying thousands of people end up on its side just metres from shore? The deaths of 32 people, the actions of Captain Francesco Schettino and the investigation that followed transform one catastrophic night at sea into a gripping story of human courage, fatal decisions and the consequences of failure when every second matters.

The Tech Billionaire Takeover

   2026    Technology
As a handful of tech billionaires accumulate unprecedented wealth, they are no longer just disrupting industries—they are challenging the very foundations of democracy, finance, and national sovereignty. With remarkable access to their world, this eye-opening investigation encounters figures such as cryptocurrency mogul Justin Sun, venture capitalist Tim Draper, and influential technology investor Peter Thiel, uncovering ambitious plans to create private cities, experimental micronations, and new technology-driven forms of government. From blockchain empires such as Tron to radical schemes designed to bypass traditional institutions, their ultimate goal may be nothing less than reshaping the global financial and political order.
Travelling from Silicon Valley to controversial territories where these ideas are being tested, the film reveals the extraordinary ambitions of a new technological elite. As private fortunes gain influence once reserved for governments, one unsettling question emerges: are these visionaries building a freer future—or quietly creating a world governed by rules written by the ultra-rich?
