Le Joli Mai is a portrait of Paris and Parisians during May 1962. It is a film with several thousand actors including a poet, a student, an owl, a housewife, a stockbroker, competitive dancer, two lovers, General de Gaulle and several cats.

Filmed just after the March ceasefire between France and Algeria, Le Joli Mai documents Paris during a turning point in French history: the first time since 1939 that France was not involved in any war. Part I, "A Prayer from the Eiffel Tower," documents personal attitudes and feelings around Paris. A salesman feels free only when he is driving his car, and then only if there is not too much traffic. A working-class mother of eight has just gotten the larger apartment that she had been wanting for years. The space capsule of American astronaut John Glenn is examined by a group of admiring children. Two investors talk about their careers and adventures. A couple who have been in love since their teens discuss the possibility of eternal happiness. At a middle class wedding banquet, the guests are raucous while the bride is quiet, dignified and reserved. Part II, "The Return of Fantomas," is an investigation of the political and social life of the city. Marker and Lhomme alternate between public events and private discussions: the former focusing on the Algerian situation, such as a funeral for people killed in Paris street demonstrations after the Algerian settlement. Meanwhile, the latter includes a conversation with two girls about the state of France; a meeting with a pair of engineers who describe the potential of the current technological revolution; an African student who discusses his own response to the French and the Parisians' reaction to his skin color; a worker-priest forced to choose between the Church and his fellow workers; and an Algerian worker describing conflict he has experienced with native Frenchmen. The film ends with sweeping views of Paris, the façades of its prisons, and the faces of its people as they struggle to make sense of their moment in history.

"I've never dropped out of any race I've started." These confident words begin our documentary and illustrate Joan Benoit-Samuelson's devotion and passion as she strides into her fifth decade as a marathon athlete. This quote also sets up the drama and conflicted nature of an aging athlete pushing the limits in one of the most demanding sports of all. Her story is an exciting message of human potential, beating long odds and sustaining healthy philosophies for the planet and the human "race". During her inspiring career as a long distance runner Joanie (as she is affectionately called) has overcome a plethora of injuries and setbacks that would discourage most from ever continuing on. Now into her fifties she has taken her commitments beyond running onto a path of community outreach and environmental stewardship. Our documentary explores the life of Joan Benoit Samuelson — a passionate yet humble hero of our times. It chronicles the impact of family and place on Joan as a young girl, tracks the competitive spirit of an Olympic champion, and depicts her evolution into a shining beacon for environmental advocacy. Inset within the film are the historic moments of her improbable 1984 Olympic Gold Medal, told by those who witnessed it. The story goes on to tell of the thrilling Boston Marathon victories and her trail to multiple women's marathon records. It depicts Nike's role in changing the perception of female running potential- making possible Joan's achievements, breaking barriers and inspiring women thereafter. But the heart of the film follows Joan as she runs the inspirational trails in her hometown state of Maine, and follows her to a finish at the 2010 Chicago Marathon the site of her world record victory 25 years ago At the age of 53, Samuelson ran a 2:47:50, becoming the fastest American woman in the marathon in the 50-54 age group.  She missed qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Marathon Trials by less than two minutes. She then went on to the San Francisco Women's Marathon where 20,000 women celebrate Joanie's legacy. Can she hang her running shoes up or is she driven to go the distance again. The Boston Marathon looms and a crack at her fifth Olympic Trials! In the end there is no end... proving whenever and however her competitive career ends- Joan will be an inspirational beacon to follow.

"I'm going to be here all that weekend, I'm going on suicide watch, they won't even know," Kevin says with a tremble in his voice. His parents think the world is going to end in a couple of days and their belief is so sincere it has rocked their family to its core. For Kevin, the fact they've quit their jobs and given up all other aspects of their life in order to get closer to God is terrifying. "I'm just hoping they're paying their bills, or one day I'm going to be sitting here and the electricity will go out." They believe the world's going to end because radio preacher Harold Camping has told them so. According to the faithful, a great earthquake will roll all around the world killing most of the world's population and transporting the saved to a new divine level. "We don't know who these people are, but we know there's about 200 million people that God's interested in saving." Candance explains to a couple of teenagers who stop to pick up her leaflet. But why are all these people so eager to accept Camping's doomsday prediction? Dig deeper and each person reveals a fascinating internal explanation for their faith. Darlene, almost at her wit's end with family members who don't believe her, finds the approach of the end of the world has provided a clarity and meaning that wasn't there before: "It's so funny all the years I was working like a maniac to make money and being careless in my actions but I was sane then. But now when I have total faith in my Lord...and really come to a place where I'm happy, now I'm crazy." Tick tock, tick tock the hours and seconds count down ... the hour arrives ... but nothing happens. "This is a big deal and I've got to think it out." Camping says in the hours after the 21st comes and goes. So how did the faithful take it? They are so rocked to their core they can't return to being their normal selves. "To me it almost feels like a death in a way." Candance says. "It changes you and you can't go back."

The Book of Lone Peak is a short documentary about the Lone Peak high school basketball team and their unexpected rise to the top. Not known nationally as a traditional basketball powerhouse, the Lone Peak Knights had what many considered to be the best basketball team in the state of Utah's history going into the 2012 season. However, following back-to-back State Championships the Knights put their sights on an ever bigger goal -- a National Championship. With a schedule that featured match-ups with teams from California to Pennsylvania, critics had their doubts, but the tight knit group of players, most of who had been playing together since the second grade, took to the challenge. This documentary follows Lone Peak's historic season and takes a closer look at how a group of basketball players from a mostly Mormon high school in Utah became the #1 team in the country and a national media story. Join us as we meet the players, learn about their rise to the top, as well as the road ahead of them, as they begin their Mormon missions, and their plans to make even more history when they reunite on the BYU basketball team in 2016.

On September 11, 2001, the united States was attacked by terrorists at the World Trade Center Twin Towers, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Three thousands Americans would die that day, surpassing the death toll at Pearl Harbor. America would strikeback, assembling an unprecedented Allied retaliation force; an operation called "Operation Enduring Freedom." This awesome high- tech fury would be launched against the Taliban, Sheik Omar, Osama bin Laden and the forces of terrorism around the world, as represented by bin Laden's terrorist organization, al-Qaida. On September 20, 2001, President George W. Bush galvanized the nation to this mission by responding to September 11, declaring the future war against terrorism and to rid the world of the "evildoers" of the Taliban, Sheik Omar and Osama bin Laden.

One of the most powerfully intimate films ever made about the final stages of life, The End began as a bold experiment. In November 2001, director Kirby Dick invited terminal patients and their families in a hospice program to take home cameras and record their last experiences on Earth. Surprisingly, many patients and families embraced the concept. The resulting film is a profound and moving chronicle of five hospice patients whose stories are in turns honest, humorous, and heartbreaking. Examining such profound issues as the meaning of suffering, the desire for love and forgiveness, and the horror of death, the film is an intensely personal meditation on the experience of death, both for the dying and for those who must go on living.

Detroit was the birthplace of the middle class, an industrial utopia where anyone who worked hard enough could experience the 'American dream.' Today, Detroit is on the brink of bankruptcy. In the past 10 years this Midwestern icon has lost 25% of its population and 50% of its manufacturing jobs. City officials are in the midst of the most dramatic 'downsizing' of an American city ever seen - demolishing thousands of homes, reconsolidating massive tracts of excess land, cutting basic services and encouraging Detroiters in marginal neighborhoods to move. Detroiters who have stuck with the city are at the breaking point. Artists and curious outsiders flock to the city in search of inspiration and opportunity. Racial tension, globalization, lack of innovation and greed has led to a moment of truth for Detroit. How the Motor City reboots itself will set the example for countless other post-industrial cities with similar fates. And today the entire country is watching to see if this storied metropolishas the courage, creativity and grit to reinvent itself -- instead of implode.Detropia is a cinematic tapestry that chronicles the lives of several Detroiters trying to survive the D and make sense of what is happening to their city. An owner of a blues bar, a young blogger, an auto union rep, a group of young artists, an opera impresario and a gang of illegal 'scrappers' make up an unlikely chorus that illuminates the tale of both a city and a country in asoul-searching mood, desperate for a new identity.

As the debate over the state of America's public school system rages on, one thing everyone agrees on is the need for great teachers. Yet, while research proves that teachers are the most important school factor in a child's future success, America's teachers are so woefully underpaid that almost two thirds must divide their time between a second job in order to make a living. Chronicling the stories of four teachers in different areas of the country, American Teacher reveals the frustrating realities of today's educators, the difficulty of attracting talented new teachers, and why so many of our best teachers feel forced to leave the profession altogether. Can we re-value teaching in the United States and turn it into a prestigious, financially attractive and competitive desirable profession?

From the ears, eyes, and hands of renowned percussionist
and educator Billy Martin (Medeski Martin
& Wood), Life on Drums is a striking examination of the drummer's art, captivatingly rendered with cinematic grace and intrigue. As relevant to experi-
enced musicians as it is to newcomers, Life on Drums combines candid, wide-ranging conversations with Martin's first drum teacher Allen Herman and
beautifully filmed performances of Martin's compositions for percussion ensemble and improvised trap set solos and duets. The film's distinct elements
work together to impart a refreshing approach to instruction that prizes the creative and the intuitive over the merely technical. The resulting film —
fiery and passionate yet practical and insightful — is a riveting extension of Martin's open-ended approach to percussion, improvisation, and music.
"Life on Drums is about the art of drumming and percussion, and my concepts, methods, and philosophy
of what is important. I'm trying to be as honest and sincere as I am about who I am and what I'm trying to say, and then demonstrate how these philosophies
can be used. I want people to see this film and realize that, no matter what degree of technical skill they
possess, they can be an artist." — Billy Martin

'New York is a great city - if you can stay on top of it.' In the pitch black only the rustle of rats feet and dripping water can be heard as the nervous film crew begin their journey to find New York's subway community. It's a dangerous mission in a place without law. The film makers delve deeper and deeper, searching for signs of life. Torchlight illuminates fading graffiti, a discarded suitcase and the distant roar of rushing trains. Finally a dark figure reveals himself and we follow him to the mole community.

Many of New York's tunnels and stations have become the home of the city's dispossessed. It's a paranoid community who've left the comforts of the world above to get away from people. 'We don't like intruders. In fact, from this emergency exit, down to the train station is my territory, and I watched you guys coming'.

For James, an addict who spent 16 years in jail, the tunnels are a place where he would 'be dead and stinking' before the police could find him. 'We're all out here together man'. It's the law of the jungle down here and members often turn on each other; 'If I ask someone to identify themselves, and they don't, I'll knock their lights out. You could kill a man, stuff him somewhere and never be found.'

'Right in here, I killed a little girl', Bertrum confesses, also a former inmate who shot his sergeant in the head. But the tunnels have their own code of conduct as well and often 'it's more of a crime to steal from each other, than it is to murder someone.'Whether hiding out from the law, homeless or suffering from a broken heart, the mole people of New York are running away from something. In the dark and frightening tunnels they find a home where society and their troubles cannot reach them.

Voices in the Tunnels is at the same time an example of the best of investigative documentary and also a powerful comment on the social underbelly of US society.

This third installment of the hugely successful "That's Entertainment" trilogy sets its sights on musical numbers from MGM's vast library of classics that never made it to the big screen, either because of their controversial subject matter or due to creative differences. Includes Debbie Reynolds' solo performance cut from "Singin' in the Rain," Fred Astaire's flawless rehearsal footage, and a Lena Horne bubble-bath scene deemed too risqué. Features rare behind-the-scenes footage to show how MGM created the screen's greatest musicals. Hosted by legendary stars: Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Lena Horne, Howard Keel, Ann Miller, Cyd Charisse, Mickey Rooney, Esther Williams and June Allyson. Film critic Roger Ebert gives it 3.5 stars and declares it "...a genuinely fascinating film."

Initiated and edited by Chris Marker, Far from Vietnam is an epic 1967 collaboration between cinema greats Jean-Luc Godard, Joris Ivens, William Klein, Claude Lelouch, Alain Resnais and Agnés Varda in protest of American military involvement in Vietnam - made, per Marker's narration, "to affirm, by the exercise of their craft, their solidarity with the Vietnamese people in struggle against aggression."

A truly collaborative effort, the film brings together an array of stylistically disparate contributions, none individually credited, under a unified editorial vision. The elements span documentary footage shot in North and South Vietnam and at anti-war demonstrations in the United States; a fictional vignette and a monologue that dramatize the self-interrogation of European intellectuals; interviews with Fidel Castro and Anne Morrison, widow of Norman Morrison, the Quaker pacifist who burned himself alive on the steps of the White House in 1965; an historical overview of the conflict; reflections from French journalist Michèle Ray; and a range of repurposed media material.

Passionately critical and self-critical, and as bold in form as it is in rhetoric, Far from Vietnam is a milestone in political documentary and in the French cinema.

Paralyzed with polio as a child, Brooklyn-born Jerome Felder reinvented himself first as a blues singer, renaming himself Doc Pomus, then emerged as a one of the most brilliant songwriters of the early rock and roll era, writing 'Save the Last Dance for Me,' 'This Magic Moment,' 'A Teenager in Love,' 'Viva Las Vegas,' and dozens of other hits. For most of his life Doc was confined to crutches and a wheelchair, but he lived more during his sixty-five years than others could experience in several lifetimes. AKA Doc Pomus brings to life Doc's joyous, romantic, heartbreaking, and extraordinarily eventful journey. In his later years, Doc was a mentor to generations of younger songwriters, and a fierce advocate for downtrodden rhythm and blues musicians. He wrote a thousand songs including some of the most recorded songs in the history of popular music - but his most lasting gift may have been his uniquely generous spirit. 'If the music industry had a heart,' the record producer Jerry Wexler remembered, 'it would be Doc Pomus.'Packed with incomparable music and rare archival imagery, AKA Doc Pomus features interviews with Doc's collaborators and friends, including Dr. John, Ben E. King, Joan Osborne, Shawn Colvin, Dion, Leiber and Stoller, and B.B. King. Passages from Doc's private journals are read by his close friend, Lou Reed.

Filmed over the past two years and across nine countries, Greedy Lying Bastards is a searing indictment of the influence, deceit and corruption that defines the fossil fuel industry. It documents the impact of an industry that puts profits before people, wages a campaign of lies to thwart measures to combat climate change, uses its clout to minimize infringing regulations and undermines the political process in the U.S. and abroad. By interweaving the stories of the victims of the Gulf oil spill and the global climate crisis, it lays bare the industry's deliberate pattern of irresponsibility. And, while oil companies worldwide exert influence over policies that will protect their revenues, those who speak out against the industry's reckless practices risk their livelihoods, and in some instances, their lives.

Charge captures a pivotal moment in motor sport history - the dawn of the zero-emissions racing era. It came on June 12th 2009, the day of the world's first zero-emissions motorcycle grand prix. The race took place on the Isle of Man TT course, the most demanding and deadly circuit on the planet. The film begins in early 2009 amid the hectic preparations for the race and concludes over a year later at the 2010 TT Zero. The second race sees a huge leap in performance - proof that racing really does improve the breed and that maniacs on motorcycles can be a force for global good. We follow the fortunes of several teams in the run-up to the 2009 race and on their return in 2010, from swaggering US hotshots MotoCzysz to shoestring Anglo-Indian contenders Team Agni and local heroes ManTTx Racing. Charge is the dramatic and highly entertaining inside story of an unlikely group of pioneers - obsessed visionaries, ambitious businessmen, new-tech eccentrics, government ministers and hardcore racers - from as far afield as India, the USA, Germany and Britain. It's a human story as well as a technological one - the teams' hopes for personal glory and commercial success ride on their green machines. It's about the dream of a clean, green world. It's about the dream of winning.

Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, VISUAL ACOUSTICS celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman, the world's greatest architectural photographer, whose images brought modern architecture to the American mainstream. Shulman captured the work of nearly every major modern and progressive architect since the 1930s including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Frank Gehry. His images epitomized the singular beauty of Southern California's modernist movement and brought its iconic structures to the attention of the general public. This unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic, whip-smart gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images.

At least 15 people were 'disappeared' by the IRA during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Some of them are still missing. The most recent search was for the remains of 19-year-old Columba McVeigh who was disappeared in 1975. A specialist forensic team spent five months in 2013 digging in a bog in County Monaghan, but found nothing.

The film highlights the powerful story of the life and harrowing death of widow and mother-of-ten Jean McConville. She was dragged from the arms of her young children by an IRA gang in 1972, then shot and buried. Her body was finally recovered in 2003.

Michael McConville explains how at 11 years of age he was tied up and beaten when he threatened to tell police about what had happened. His sister Agnes recalls the abuse they got from other children afterwards, before the siblings were shipped off to various orphanages.

The IRA policy of disappearing victims dates back to 1972 when four people were taken from Belfast. It is said to have ended in 1981 after an order from the IRA's governing Army Council. A policy of lies and intimidation appears to have run in parallel with the policy of disappearing people. One family after another explain how they were virtually silenced by a climate of fear. They also had to cope with rumours claiming their loved one was alive and well. The evidence suggests these rumours were invented by the IRA to keep the families away from the truth.

A forensic detective outlines the mechanics of the killings and burials. He tells how most of the victims were shot once in the back of the head and then dumped in shallow graves. In some cases the bodies were weighted down with stones in case they rose to the surface if the bog dried out.

Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams is challenged about allegations that he ordered the disappearance of Jean McConville. Adams, today a member of the Irish parliament, is also probed about his knowledge of the fate of two IRA men who were disappeared in the same way that same year.

From PBS - Just a century ago, there were less than a million deer in North America. Today, there are nearly 30 million. No wonder it seems they're moving in right down the block. Nowhere are the deer more at home than in the suburbs. Whitetailed deer live in the boundaries, where our backyards meet the backwoods, and the woodlands meet the roads. From our kitchen windows we spot them, nibbling away at our gardens and shrubs. But how well do we know our neighbors from the natural world? Not very well at all, as it turns out. New investigations into their world reveal a more complex society than we imagined. These are smart, adaptable creatures, with impressive skills, senses and family lives, yet they also have unexpected shortcomings. Their famous "deer in the headlights" immobility, for instance, is not caused by fear at all, but rather by bright light overpowering their visual cortex and locking down their brains for a period of up to several minutes. Also among these extraordinary creatures are some exceptional rarities, such as the tiny endangered Key deer that captivate the residents of the Florida Keys, and the spellbinding white ghost deer that roam the northern woods.

Pedal-Driven delves into the escalating conflict between mountain bikers hungry to ride and the federal land managers charged with protecting the public lands that belong to us all.

This beautifully shot documentary takes you on a thrilling and often contentious ride, covering issues of sustainability, public recreation and land stewardship from both sides of the divide, uncovering a new path toward the future along the way.

Employing an arsenal of cameras that pass freely from film crew to ship crew, and swoop from below sea level to astonishing bird's-eye views, LEVIATHAN is unlike anything you have ever seen; a purely visceral, cinematic experience.

Adolf Hitler did not have children, but what of the families of Hermann Göring, Heinrich Himmler and Hans Frank, to name a few? What is it like for the descendants of these top Nazi officials to deal with the legacy left behind by their notorious families? Hitler's Children introduces us to the children, grandchildren and nieces and nephews of these infamous men. Among them, Niklas Frank, son of Hans Frank and godson of Hitler, who despises his father's past so much that he has spent his entire adult life researching and writing negatively about him, often touring around Germany to lecture against his father and the Nazi regime. And Bettina Göring, the great-niece of Hitler's second in command, Hermann Göring, who lives in voluntary exile in Santa Fe, NM and together with her brother decided to get sterilized so as to not pass on the Göring name or blood. These, and many others, discuss how they have coped with the fact that their last name alone immediately raises images of murder and genocide; and how they have reached a balance between the natural admiration and affection children feel towards their parents, and their innate revulsion of their crimes. Some have been more successful than others at achieving that balance, but each bares, for the first time, the scars that their legacy has left them.

New York City, 1932. The country is in the throes of the Great Depression, the previous decade's boom of Italian, Irish, and Jewish immigrants has led to unprecedented urban expansion, and in the midst of an unseasonably warm autumn, steelworkers risk life and limb building skyscrapers high above the streets of Manhattan. In Men at Lunch, director Seán Ó Cualáin tells the story of "Lunch atop a Skyscraper," the iconic photograph taken during the construction of Rockefeller Center that depicts eleven workmen taking their lunch break while casually perched along a steel girder - boots dangling 850 feet above the sidewalk, Central Park and the misty Manhattan skyline stretching out behind them. For 80 years, the identity of the eleven men - and the photographer that Immortalized them - remained a mystery - their stories, lost in time, subsumed by the fame of the image itself. But then, at the start of the 21st century, the photograph finally began to give up some of its secrets. Part homage, part investigation, Men at Lunch is the sublime tale of an American icon, an unprecedented race to the sky and the immigrant workers that built New York.

In August of 1944, the trial began of the men who conspired to assassinate the Fuhrer (the subject of the Tom Cruise film Valkyrie). Under orders from Joseph Goebbels, cameras were hidden in the courtroom, and soon thereafter a propaganda film was released to the public. Unfortunately for the Nazis, the film only generated sympathy for the conspirators, who were sentenced to death by the visibly deranged judge. Realizing his miscalculation, Goebbels ordered the film destroyed. But one print has been found. Featuring footage and sound documentation never seen before in this country, The Top Secret Trial of the Third Reich finally reveals the secret history of Germany's home-grown resistance. Through authentic footage of the trial of the National Committee for a Free Germany (a German resistance group), the film details the various attempts to assassinate Hitler - from the bomb in Munich's Burgerbraukeller to Claus von Stauffenberg's explosive attack on the Wolfsschanze.

Loretha Weisinger, a woman of remarkable magnetism and complexity, returns to the same disadvantaged neighborhood where she once struggled as a teen mom. She uses compassion and humor to teach the young mothers-to-be about everything from the importance of breast-feeding and reading to their babies to the practical details of communicating effectively with health care professionals. Teenage pregnancy is a fact of American life. Nearly 10 percent of births in this country are to teens, many of them poor, uneducated and alone. A community doula (a reclaimed Greek term, presently meaning birth attendant) for more than 10 years, Loretha knows that pregnant teens need guidance and education, not judgment or pity. In the face of overwhelming challenges - from absentee fathers and drug addiction to the disparagement of society - doulas are making a difference in the futures of young mothers and their babies.

This potent documentary uses a long-lost film reel to illustrate how the Nazis controlled images of Jewish life during World War II. Though the Nazis made a propaganda movie of contented Jews in the Warsaw ghetto, the missing spool exposes the truth. Director Yael Hersonski shows how the imagery was staged to distort historical knowledge and, with the aid of Jewish survivors' testimony, chronicles the horrifying reality of ghetto life.

All over the world, human beings are living longer than ever before. This is due to many factors, including improved living conditions, lifestyle choices and medical advancements. While there is not a single cause, a growing community of scientists are pushing the limits of life expectancy. In the not-too-distant future, they may even be able to halt ageing altogether. As the world's population continues to live longer, our current economic systems will no longer be sustainable. Health care systems, and the economies that fund them, need to make major changes. Because a growing number of people are healthy enough continue to work and play, we will need to reevaluate the nature of employment and recreation.

A portrait of legendary American filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman, president of Troma Entertainement, an independent New York-based production house that has specialized in Z-films for over 35 years, and creator of the Toxic Avenger. (Original Title: Tromatized : Meet Lloyd Kaufman)

From the producer of The Case for Israel - Democracy's Outpost comes a meticulous examination of the resurgence of lethal Jew-hatred in regions around the world. Filmmaker Gloria Greenfield travels from Europe to Israel to North America, interviewing world-renowned scholars, analysts, experts in international law and media, and political leaders to cover this phenomenon comprehensively. The result of the interviews is a serious and sometimes terrifying analysis of how Jew-hatred, often masked as anti-Zionism, has permeated modern life and discourse worldwide. The viewer is taken on a journey through the evolution of Jew-hatred: from historical Christian Jew-hatred to its adaptation during the Enlightenment; to the anti-Jewish racism of the Nazi regime, which is then carried forward by Islamist ideologues. The emergence of the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1920s and '30s and its sustained role in inciting and perpetrating lethal Jew-hatred is a signficant fact that must be understood. In examining the current political assault against the Jewish people and their right to self-determination, Unmasked Judeophobia is a call to action and urgent reminder that Jew-hatred is a menace not only to Jews, but also to the human condition itself.

With substantial faults - an engine down, a punctured wing, a malfunctioning fuel system, various leaks - combined with no verbal communication from air traffic controllers, the pilots desperately sought to land the damaged plane. There was no margin for error. If that wasn't bad enough the auto-brake system had also malfunctioned. "Brake! Brake!", Hicks called. "I am!", replied captain Richard De Crespigny. De Crespigny has the brakes to the floor as the plane screams down the runway. It stops just a hundred metres short of the end. But the ordeal didn't end there.
Having miraculously landed the plane at Changi airport, the pilots encountered yet more dangers. With "fuel streaming from the wing" and tyres reaching exceptionally high temperatures from maximum braking, the risk of explosion was high, hindering the evacuation process: "one spark and we were cinders".
In the wake of the accident Qantas grounded their A380 fleet. They had never seen so many problems and of such a severity occur in the same plane at the same time. In the days that followed the accident a rigorous examination of Flight 32 revealed that a misaligned part had led to a "fatigue fracture" within the stub oil pipe, causing projectile to fly out of the engine, damaging the rest of the aircraft. For Qantas the nature of the fault absolved them of responsibility for the crash and laid it at the feet of another industry giant: Rolls-Royce.
As designers, manufacturers and maintainers of the engine, it was Rolls-Royce's responsibility to make sure that any weaknesses were found. Worse still, they were aware of the weakness and had been replacing other suspect engines for months. Yet they have refused to comment, raising concerns over the possible manufacturer of the next generation of super passenger carriers. "For the future of the business you need openness or people will just get killed". For the passengers of QF 32 it was a close call; the next generation of passengers may not be so lucky.

The Mountain Runners is the story of America's first mountain endurance foot race, which took place in 1911. The grueling 28 to 32 mile race to the glacial summit of Mount Baker and back utilized steam trains and modified Model T autos, and lasted only three years, due to its intrepid dangers.

"Anybody who tells you they know what the news business will look like in 5 years is either lying or delusional", says Dan Gross, the ex-Senior News Editor at Newsweek. Once one the world's largest print publications, Newsweek dropped the print side of its business and went online at the end of 2012. But what was supposed to be a decisive step into the 21st Century turned into a cautionary tale. As Newsweek went under, the popular wisdom that online is the future wasn't realised. As publisher Christian von Thillo points out, the reality is that print is not dead yet. "It's not that people don't buy newspapers anymore, It's just some people's business models don't work anymore." Now the bane of modern newspapers has become aggregator sites like The Huffington Post, which make money from other people's content. "It's theft, pure theft", says Vandermeersch angrily. And once everything has been made free it is very hard to turn back the tide. "We're like a butcher who has given free meat away for 15 years and then tells his customers they have to pay. They wonder why." Edwy Plenel, ex-Le Monde editor and founder of Mediapart, an investigative journalism start-up, says there is a serious danger with free content and content aggregation sites. He claims it is eroding good journalism; the backbone of democracy. The conflict is building. Aggregators have now changed how people interact with news. Digital companies like Buzzfeed think they've found the future in their social news revolution: "It's not just a broadcast of one to many, it's a model of lots of different people who are networked sharing things". But many journalists and editors fear that if things stay the way they are there'll be no investigative journalists left in ten years time. A fascinating insight into the battle silently raging at the heart of our information industry.

Calvin & Hobbes took center stage immediately when it appeared in newspaper comics across the country in 1985. The funny pages were a big part of popular culture, and it was hard to find a comics reader who didn’t like Calvin & Hobbes. A decade later, when creator Bill Watterson retired his strip, millions of readers felt the void left by the sudden departure of Calvin and his beloved tiger, and many fans would never find a satisfactory replacement. It has now been 18 years since the end of the Calvin & Hobbes era. Bill Watterson has kept an extremely low profile during this time, living a very private life in Ohio. Despite his quiet lifestyle, he is remembered and appreciated daily by fans who still enjoy his amazing collection of work. Dear Mr. Watterson is not a quest to find Bill Watterson, or to invade his privacy.

Impact Partners presents Pandora's Promise, the groundbreaking new film by Academy-Award nominated director Robert Stone. The atomic bomb and meltdowns like Fukushima have made nuclear power synonymous with global disaster. But what if we've got nuclear power wrong? An audience favorite at the Sundance Film Festival, Pandora's Promise asks whether the one technology we fear most could save our planet from a climate catastrophe, while providing the energy needed to lift billions of people in the developing world out of poverty. In his controversial new film, Stone tells the intensely personal stories of environmentalists and energy experts who have undergone a radical conversion from being fiercely anti- to strongly pro-nuclear energy, risking their careers and reputations in the process. Stone exposes this controversy within the environmental movement head-on with stories of defection by heavyweights including Stewart Brand, Richard Rhodes, Gwyneth Cravens, Mark Lynas and Michael Shellenberger.

American rapper, songwriter Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., also known as Lil Wayne began his music career at the tender age of nine. He joined Cash Money Records as the youngest member of the label. In 1997 he joined the group Hot Boys and got his first taste of success and fame after the release of the groups major selling album Guerrilla Warfare. In 1999 Lil Wayne released his debut album The Block is Hot, which hit the top of the Hip Hop charts, selling over one million copies in the U.S and went on to become double platinum. The sale of his next two albums sold modestly, however the release of the Carter series helped cement the rappers reputation as one of the leading hip-hop performers. Lil Wayne's sixth studio album, The Carter III, was released in June 2008 and featured appearances by T-Pain, Jay-Z and Busta Rhymes. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 selling over a million copies in the first week of sales and included top hits such as "A Milli" and "Lollipop". It was this album that won the artist four Grammy Awards at the 2009 ceremony. Since the success of this album, Lil Wayne went on to produce another 3 albums with his tenth album released on December 11, 2012. For all of his success, he has never forgotten his roots and despite being in trouble with the law on several occasions in recent years, he has helped establish the One Family Foundation to help urban youths.

For the first time, learn how one man's vision kept the early Christian movement together. How one man defied the very followers of Jesus himself... and in the end left his homeland to conquer an Empire. This is the compelling story of Paul the Apostle, originally named Saul of Tarsus. He zealously persecuted the early followers of Jesus and violently tried to destroy the newly forming Christian church. Paul's dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus radically changed the course of his life. After his conversion, Paul began to preach that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. He is generally considered one of the most important figures of the Apostolic Age.

From the days when his father would take him to watch Formula One greats Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, Lewis Hamilton dreamed of joining the ranks of his racing heroes. This he eventually did; becoming the youngest driver to ever pilot a F1 car, in 2007. Hamilton grew up in Hartfordshire, in the United Kingdom, where at the age of 7 he started racing radio-controlled cars for fun. He soon moved onto the more challenging Go-Karts; then Formula 3 cars, in which he won the British Championship. Hamilton was never shy of his talent. He approached McLaren boss Ron Dennis at the age of ten and told him he was one day going to drive a McLaren. Ron replied, "Wait nine years and I'll see what I can do". In 1998 Dennis kept his word, signing Hamilton to the McLaren Driver Development Program, making Hamilton the youngest driver to ever enter a contract. He was also the first black driver to compete in Formula One; and win a major race. During 2004, Hamilton and McLaren had an argument which resulted, temporarily at least, in Hamilton being dropped by the famous racing team. However he was resigned and has stated that he wants to remain with McLaren for the rest of his career. One year later, Auto sport Magazine voted him 24th in their Top 50 drivers of 2005 issue. When asked why he was drawn to racing as a sport, he says it's the danger, the adrenaline of racing that keeps him interested. Even Michael Schumacher has praised the young driver, saying: "He's clearly got the right racing mentality". After winning the British Renault F3 and GP2 Championship, Hamilton finally became an F1 driver in 2007, due to a vacancy left in the team by Juan Pablo Montoya, who left to pursue a career in NASCAR. Hamilton's dream had finally come true. A future star, Hamilton's past rivals, present team mates and F1 greats all agree that his is definitely "the career to watch".

From PBS - At the famous Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Lipizzaners and their riders have been keeping audiences in thrall for centuries. The school is a unique and elite university, where horses train for years to successfully execute supremely difficult maneuvers. Only a very few will master the artistic and athletic skills required to perform in this ancient court of kings. Those that do earn the right to sire the next generation of stars. The legendary breed can be traced back to the remarkable war horses the Moors of North Africa brought with them when they conquered Spain in 711. A successful fusion of Moorish and Iberian cultures led to a stunning new breed of horse -- the Spanish horse -- which became a highly-coveted showpiece in the stables of the aristocracy. From these bloodlines, the Austrian Hapsburg Archduke Charles created his own noble breed of horses -- the Lipizzaners. Spend backstage time with the riders and their horses, the mares and their foals, learn the secrets of the school and its traditions, and marvel as horse and rider transform what was once a weapon of war into a living work of art.
