Looking at the ever-present challenges presented by competing for food, mating rights or territory. The competitive spirit is shown in the hunt, the competition between predator and prey. Part 7 of 12.
A warmer planet is creating drier conditions and increasing lightening activity – this means more fuel and ignition - causing catastrophic wildfires and other anomalies like firenadoes. The trend is showing more megafires and a longer fire season, in some cases making wildfires a year-round concern. Large wildfires are also burning in unusual places such as the Arctic Circle. This episode follows recent megastorm events in California and Alberta, Canada. Part 1 of 10.
We begin with the search for traces in Yugoslavia’s prehistory. Under the influence of changing rulers and empires, the country’s structure is formed over centuries as home to five nationalities with three languages and four different religions. However, in the early 20th century, the first ethnic conflicts begin. Only after World War II does the popular hero and dictator Tito succeed in uniting a peaceful Yugoslavia. But after his death, the country plunges into chaos. Part 1 of 3.
We are in the fateful year of Yugoslavia’s first free elections since World War II: 1990. It is the hour of the nationalists, and the collapse of the multi-ethnic state is only a matter of time. When Slovenia and Croatia declare independence, Yugoslavia sinks into civil war. There are mass expulsions, systematic rapes and brutal murders in Croatia and Bosnia. For a long time, the international community merely looks on idly. Part 2 of 3.
The Srebrenica massacre is a wake-up call for the international community, which decides to intervene after four years of war. That same year, the warring parties sign a peace treaty.But war soon breaks out again, this time in Kosovo. NATO intervenes and ends the fighting – a controversial mission without a UN mandate. The Balkans are still regarded as a powder keg.The wars of the 1990s have set the region back economically, and reconciliation is still difficult today. (Part 3 of 3)
This episode illuminates disruptions to the world of work - AI, robotics, globalisation and labour practices. The COVID-19 pandemic was a new driver of change; at the pandemic's height, unemployment flipped from its lowest rate in 50 years to its highest level in a century. Part 1 of 3.
How can we predict job growth, training needs and the role of education in order to prepare for the work of the future? What are the challenges and consequences of the pandemic, and of America's racial and economic disparities? Part 2 of 3.
Do businesses need offices? Is a 9-to-5 working day valid? Does the nation need a drastic rethinking of the social safety nets? Does America face a 'post-work' era, or will there be increased inequities in how we make our livings? Part 3 of 3.
Dis/Informed is a deep-dive into conspiracy mentality and why we are so vulnerable to disinformation. Directors Viken and Kriel go in search of why women’s spaces online are being radicalised, and how the pandemic has made us all vulnerable to believing comforting lies over harsh truth.
Some animals in the Serengeti seem to be forever at war. Species compete with each other over territories, ring fencing these areas with scent marking. Part 8 of 12.
