As media outlets become increasingly polarised, and as social media rules information feeds, where does propaganda come into play? This documentary demystifies the predominant methods of persuasion employed by those seeking power, analysing the present day and contextualising it by looking back at periods when propaganda defined nations and kept populations in check.
Dr Alixe Bovey explores the most mysterious region on the Gough Map - Scotland: a nation still in its infancy when the document was produced in the 14th century, and so young it still has no capital. Part 5 of 6.
The ancient Egyptians have fascinated us for centuries. The Pyramids of the Pharaohs and the Sphinx are fabulous monuments to their past glory. But according to one scientist, Dr Sarah Parcak, the astonishing antiquities that have been discovered are just a tiny percentage of what was left behind. This visually stunning film takes viewers on a remarkable voyage of discovery to unlock the history of ancient Egypt. By using cutting-edge satellite technology, and both high res and infrared imagery, Dr Parcak and her team will literally be able to 'see' under the sands - and will attempt to use this new information to create the most comprehensive map of ancient Egypt ever seen. For the first time, using stunning data-driven CGI, an ancient Egypt never before imagined is brought to life in a cinematic adventure that could re-write our understanding of this ancient land.
How are winters getting worse when the earth is getting warmer? The warming planet is heating more rapidly in the north, heating up the mass of arctic air called the Polar Vortex. A warmer Polar Vortex is in turn weakening the jet stream which normally serves to contain the arctic air. But now, the wobbly jet stream is allowing frigid arctic temperatures to travel south bringing with it things like nor’easters, epic blizzards, bomb cyclones and frost quakes. This episode follows the stories of storm chasers caught in blizzards, farmers livelihoods compromised by extreme cold and snow, as well as the consequences of cold on our infrastructure. Part 10 of 10.
