宾夕法尼亚州立大学所在地州立学院镇(State College)长期以来被称为“快乐谷”(Happy Valley)。40多年来,该镇的标志性人物是乔·帕特诺(Joe Paterno),他是该校传奇橄榄球队的主教练。他的球队不仅因其在球场上的成功而备受赞誉,也因其学生在课堂上的成就而备受赞誉。帕特诺也因此获得了“圣乔”(Saint Joe)的全国性神话般的地位。
通过家庭法庭并落入法院内部人员手中的资金,比美国所有其他法院系统的总和还要多——每年超过500亿美元,而且还在不断增长。这部纪录片通过广泛的研究以及对美国顶级离婚律师、调解员、法官、政客、诉讼当事人和记者的采访,揭露了儿童如何被迫离家,无证监护权评估员如何敲诈勒索,以及滥用职权的法官如何一边操纵人们的生活,一边让他们的朋友发财致富。这部爆炸性的纪录片揭露了家庭法庭是不受监管的、超越宪法的封建领地。这些法庭非但没有帮助家庭犯罪的受害者,反而常常促使他们犯罪。这些法庭及其同伙非但没有按照其职责帮助父母和子女走出困境,反而将案件拖延数年甚至数十年,最终导致一系列社会弊病,包括房屋丧失抵押品赎回权、破产、自杀和暴力。在那些以更全面的方式处理离婚案件的国家,人们寻求解决这一危机的方法。

北极地区总是带着神秘色彩,也是神话传说中的迷人胜境。然而,这里每年有九个月被冰雪覆盖,生存环境比世上其他地方更为严苛。这里乍似冷酷无情,原来却是不少物种的家园 ——北极熊、弓头鲸、一角鲸、厚嘴海鸦,还有人类皆居于此,北冰洋部分水域更是全球最丰饶的海洋生态系统之一。数千年来,因纽特人和前居者适应了北极地区,并在此落地生根。他们在冰原上寻找食物,互相交往,起居作息。为了生存,因纽特人还发展出一些特别的技能,他们透过观察冰雪反照在云层上的光,便能判断在远处有没有开阔的水域。这些传统智慧正好帮助前来研究的科学家。现时,北极地区已成为研究重点,科学家揭露了全球人类活动正如何影响这片遥远脆弱的地方。全球暖化对北极地区的影响比其他地方更为严重,北冰洋上的永久浮冰已缩减近百分之七十,如情况持续,终有一天北冰洋在夏季将完全无冰。世代生长在这片冰天雪地的动植物和居民能否适应这种变化?全天域电影《奇幻冰极》在探访这片奇妙异境之余,更会介绍冰对于北极地区和全球各地所发挥的重要作用。大家齐来与科学家和因纽特人一起,细察这个冰雪王国。

The Congo: more powerful and dangerous than any other river, yet a sanctuary and home for some of the most wonderful creatures on our Earth. Wild Congo follows the second largest river on Earth from its source in Zambia on its journey through marshland areas and rainforests. The Congo's journey stretches over a distance of 5,000 kilometres, starting as a small stream and developing into a raging river that engulfs everything in its path. Biologists consider it to be the cradle of evolution: an experimental location for the emergence of new species! The shoebill, elephant fish and blind eel are just a few examples of the wildlife of the Congo and its astounding ability to adapt. Being separated by the water masses of the Congo River has also enabled our closest relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos, to develop completely different social systems, with violence and oppression reigning on...
From spy dolphin to spy tuna and turtle, for the first time an underwater menagerie of spy creatures infiltrate the secret world of dolphins. Swimming alongside some of the most captivating and clever animals on the planet, these new spies are always on the move – catching the waves with surfing bottlenose dolphins and speeding with a megapod of spinner dolphins. From the team at John Downer Productions that brought you the unforgettable Penguins – Spy In The Huddle, this is one of the nation’s favourite animals seen as never before. John Downer says: “Unlike Penguin-cams, this time our spy creatures had to keep pace with fast-moving dolphins, often out in the deep ocean. The dolphins were very curious about their new neighbours and allowed them into their lives.” A new two-part series, narrated by David Tennant, the series producer is John Downer and the producer is Rob Pilley.
With unprecedented access to all facets of this mega facility, the series follows some of the 60,000 staff working hard to keep it safe, secure, and on schedule. Season two follows the renovation of both the airport's runways – a tricky enterprise that has the airport operating using only one runway for several months with huge pressure to finish the build on time. The series will be at the heart of passenger operations, customs, the control tower and flight services to see how the teams cope during a particularly stressful and demanding time.
