- An ecological drama/documentary, filmed throughout the globe. Part thriller, part meditation on the vanishing wonders of the sub-aquatic world.
- On a remote planet a Master watches his Apprentice carryout tests with nanotechnology as she tries to prove herself worthy of advancement.
- Astronaut Kathryn Voss, sole survivor of a disastrous space mission, is desperate to reunite with her terminally ill daughter but becomes a fugitive when the government discovers she's returned to earth with an extraordinary gift.
- NASA's biggest spacecraft plunges into Saturn in the final act of a 20 year mission showcasing the planet like never before.
- How do researchers observe the physical forces at work on the Sun's surface? Can we recreate in the laboratory the nuclear fusion that takes place at its heart? What would be the impact of a major solar storm on the power grids of an interconnected world? With astrophysicists, nuclear energy researchers, historians of science, artists and hunters of the aurora borealis - a phenomenon caused by the entry of particles from the solar wind into the Earth's atmosphere - this documentary sets out to discover a star that has been a symbol of life since the dawn of humanity.
- Pass the Salt is an hour-long investigation into the mysteries of one of our most fundamental elements: salt. It's an exploration that takes us from far beneath the earth's crust, to the inner depths of the human body - a search for the real answers to a mounting debate about the benefits and dangers of sodium chloride (table salt). Pass the Salt uses creative and stylish visual analogs to bring this science to life. One would think that our understanding of something as basic as salt (sometimes referred to as "the fifth element") would be straightforward, but the humble salt-shaker holds many mysteries. We meet passionate players from both sides of the dinner table and discover how long-held beliefs are being questioned - and how everything we thought we knew about salt may be wrong. We'll taste-test salts from around the world, de-bunk myths, and re-examine data. We'll join scientists and scholars, salt harvesters, chefs and specialists on the front lines of the "Great Salt Debate" in labs, kitchens, salt harvesting operations - and even spaceships. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore new science about an ancient substance that's been a part of culture and cuisine from our very beginnings.
- The movie takes a close look at the discovery of a gigantic crater deep in the ocean floor, one that is possibly tied to a theory about the end of dinosaur life.
- Russia is by far the largest country in the world. Twice the size of the huge USA, almost 50 times larger than small Germany. From Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea to the strait of the Bering Strait, within sight of Alaska, there are 11 time zones and 7,000 kilometers as the crow flies. But only if you take the shortcut across the North Pole. Within this country you will find a unique and diverse nature that is home to a varied wildlife, adapted to very different climates. The Russian metropolises, which tell stories with their buildings from older and also more recent history, are connected by almost endless railway lines across the country. One of them is the famous Trans-Siberian Railway. Only a bird's eye view reveals all of the country's splendor. The team of the multiple award-winning series "Germany from above" and the award-winning Arte series "Migrating Birds: Scouts of Distant Worlds" ventured a permanent flight over the giant empire between Europe and Asia in nine months and captured the breathtaking beauty of this incredible country in impressive pictures.
- Footage shot on board of the International Space Station by Thomas Pesquet, the European Space Agency's youngest astronaut and the 10th French astronaut to travel into space, during his six-month space odyssey, the 2016-17 Proxima Mission.
- Dark matter, which is unknown and undetectable in our physical models, would appear to populate the cosmos on a massive scale. For the first time, a film portrays the wild scientific quest that dark matter gives rise to - a real thriller!
- Thomas Pesquet spent 196 days in orbit around Earth. A daily routine filled with a multitude of scientific experiments intended to prepare for future missions farther afield. The French astronaut dreams of one day setting foot on Mars (2040 is the target), but innumerable scientific problems remain to be solved.
- With unique access to the incredibly ambitious and complex Rosetta space mission, we follow the journey of a spacecraft as it attempts to land on a speeding comet.
- Set in the near future at the European Space Agency's mission control centre, a team of engineers is about to conduct an orbit entry manoeuvre. Constrained by fuel and gravity, the team must react to an unexpected problem.
- HUNT FOR A SUPER COMET chronicles the journey of Comet ISON from the outer solar system to its perilous journey towards the sun, where it met a deadly fate, leaving behind decades worth of unprecedented science.
- Today, space debris has become the nightmare of telecommunications operators and space agencies. Since the beginning of the conquest of space at the end of the 1950s, the number of spacecraft launches has multiplied. Many of them, now useless, wander above the Earth and sometimes collide. Satellites carrying nuclear charges, stages or tanks of launchers have already fallen back to Earth, without causing any casualties until now. Faced with the danger, space actors are now constantly monitoring the clouds of waste, ready to divert their satellites or installations in an emergency.
- Death on A Comet is an inside look at a dedicated team of scientists and engineers and their ambitious dream to build a space mission that will chase, catch and land on a moving comet.
- The music video for the song "Mul ei oo lapsuudensankarii" by the Finnish singer-songwriter Paula Vesala from the 2020 album "Etsimässä rauhaa".
- The Feb 13 edition of Global National, hosted by Robin Gill.
- Episode one shows for the first time the cities of Saint Petersburg and Moscow from the air and roams the 200 km wide Volga Delta, in which ten million birds spend the winter over the year. The camera team climbs the 5,000-meter peak of Elbrus in the Caucasus Mountains and watches the herds of antelopes in the steppes of Kalmykia in search of water points.
- Episode three flies over Siberia with Lake Baikal, which despite its size is frozen six months a year, and follows the Trans-Siberian Railway on its way to the Far East. Accompany a nomad group on their way to the spring camp through the unique Altay Mountains, stop in Novosibirsk and show the deserted taiga from a bird's eye view.
- Russia's south is the focus of the second episode, which provides breathtaking insights into the Republic of Dagestan and grazes the city of Rostov at the mouth of the Don, which is also known as the "Gateway to the Caucasus". In the south is the largest river delta in Europe - the Volga Delta. The seemingly endless expanse is fed by the largest lake on earth - the Caspian Sea.
- In episode four it gets so cold that it takes the help of an atomic icebreaker to find a way through the ice in the Arctic Ocean. On the Lena Delta, the frozen ground draws unique patterns into the country that are particularly easy to see from the air. The camera team flies over Cape Schmidt, where polar bear families and walruses are at home, and over the Yamal peninsula.
