In the final three episodes of the series, Chris Packham follows three extraordinary evolutionary journeys to discover how the relentless demands of survival transformed simple early animals into some of the most remarkable creatures alive today. In Borneo, the voracious appetite of the bat leads back more than half a billion years to the origins of the through-gut, the first anus, heads and jaws, revealing how the need to find and consume food helped reshape animal life and ultimately produced the bat’s extraordinary powers of hearing. In the Bahamas, the intelligence of dolphins opens an even deeper story: from ancient cells able to sense light to the evolution of eyes, complex brains, sophisticated senses and the remarkable minds of modern dolphins. The journey culminates with one of nature’s supreme athletes. Tracing the horse’s ancestry through hundreds of millions of years, Packham reveals how primitive muscle cells evolved into increasingly powerful systems for movement, how beating hearts supplied those muscles with oxygen, and how limbs became ever more effective tools for locomotion. Slithering, swimming, walking and running eventually converge in an animal built for extraordinary speed and endurance. Together, these final episodes reveal a breathtaking truth: hunger, perception and movement were not merely necessities of survival—they were powerful evolutionary forces that helped create the astonishing complexity of animal life.
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?
In the final three episodes of the series, the image of elite discipline surrounding the SS is stripped away to reveal a far darker and more disturbing reality. Behind the façade of military excellence lay poorly trained recruits driven not by honor, but by blind ideology and a complete absence of remorse. As their role expands from the battlefield to the brutal control of concentration camps, the narrative exposes how ordinary men became perpetrators of systematic violence, carrying out atrocities with chilling efficiency while maintaining the appearance of normal lives beyond their crimes. These episodes push further into the unsettling contrast between barbarity and everyday existence, showing how members of the SS could participate in unimaginable acts and then return to social settings as if nothing had happened. The story then draws a direct line to the present, confronting the uncomfortable truth that, despite overwhelming historical evidence, remnants of admiration and myth still persist in certain circles. It’s a gripping and unsettling conclusion that forces viewers to question how such distortion of memory can endure—and why it still matters today.
The film takes you on a journey through the four Papal Basilicas in Rome and their treasures: St. Peter’s (one of the 25 destinations most visited by travelers from all over the world), St. John in the Lateran, St. Mary Major and St. Paul Outside the Walls. Four majestic buildings – each with a precious papal altar, each a treasure trove of timeless works of art and a destination for millions of travelers and pilgrims over the centuries – play the leading role in a new film tour that has been recognized as a work of cultural interest by the film board of the Ministry of Culture, Heritage and Tourism.
From an early age, a Hungarian prodigy named Judit Polgar was raised to believe that genius could be trained — and that she would prove it to the world. Guided by an ambitious father who rejected convention and educated his daughters at home through relentless chess training, she entered a battlefield long dominated by men. What followed was a 15-year journey of discipline, pressure, and defiance, as she refused to compete in women-only tournaments and instead took on the strongest grandmasters on earth. Facing the towering presence of world champion Garry Kasparov and the weight of global skepticism, she shattered barriers move by move, redefining what was thought possible for women in elite competition. This inspiring documentary reveals not only the brilliance of her mind, but the emotional cost of greatness — a story of talent, ambition, control, and liberation played out across the 64 squares of the chessboard.
An intimate look at a historic turning point in Formula 1: 18-year-old Andrea Kimi Antonelli stepping into Lewis Hamilton’s seat at Mercedes. Blending unseen WhatsApp exchanges with Toto Wolff and engineers, the film follows his leap from simulator training and workouts to the high-stakes pressure of his FP1 debut at Monza. Beyond the track, personal moments with his family reveal the vulnerability behind the rising star. The documentary captures both the technical spectacle and the emotional weight of a teenager carrying the hopes of a legendary team.
