- An unflattering look inside America's corporate controlled food industry.
- In 1943 a secret government cloaking project goes awry vanishing a navy destroyer. In 2012, the destroyer reappears, setting off a series of events threatening to destroy the world.
- During World War II, four Allied POWs endure harsh treatment from their Japanese captors while being forced to build a railroad through the Burmese jungle.
- Famous naturalist David Attenborough explains the rise and fall of pterosaurs, mistakenly known as flying dinosaurs. He also flies a glider to show how big the Quetzalcoatlus, at the time the largest known pterosaur species, really was.
- Inspired by Daniel J. Watkin's book "Freak Power: Hunter S. Thompson's Campaign for Sheriff" - Aspen 1970
- How the Commodore Amiga helped influence a generation of Developers to take Video Gaming to a whole new level.
- This is a film about the rise and fall of the world's first supersonic passenger jet - Concorde. From the moment that it hit the skies in 1969, Concorde was instantly iconic. Considered the thoroughbred of aircraft, it flew the rich and famous across the Atlantic in just 3 hours and forty-five minutes - with an impeccable safety record. Until, on July 25th 2000, a freak chain of events just outside Paris caused a catastrophic accident: Concorde's first fatality in 27 years of service killed 115 people and those devastating 120 seconds of flight marked the end of the supersonic era.
- Starting off a kilometre high, travelling at the speed of a jet aircraft, and heading for us. It doesn't make for a good outcome. Hollywood-style graphics and real-life archive bring home an imagined near-future scenario, all based on cutting-edge science.
- Examines a theory that many earthquakes are related, and that they can 'trigger' other quakes, thus providing a method for predicting earthquake occurrences, both temporally and spatially.
- The creation of the 1,500-mile Alaska-Canada Highway.
- The story of Cyrus Field and the creation of the transatlantic telegraph line.
- Last century, earthquakes killed over one million, and it is predicted that this century might see ten times as many deaths. Yet when an earthquake strikes, it always takes people by surprise. So why hasn't science worked out how to predict when and where the next big quake is going to happen? This is the story of the men and women who chase earthquakes and try to understand this mysterious force of nature. Journeying to China's Sichuan Province, which still lies devastated by the earthquake that struck in May 2008, as well as the notorious San Andreas Fault in California, Horizon asks why science has so far fallen short of answering this fundamental question.
- Instead of looking at a geological feature and the convergence of mechanisms that created it, this program uses a different format; looking at one mechanism, glaciers, and the diverse effects they cause.
- The Earth isn't an ordinary generic planet. The processes that created an Earth suitable for modern are unique and surprising.
- Chile's Atacama Desert is the driest, oldest and deadest desert on earth. Yet it's plays host to living creatures and penguins even thrive nearby. It may provide clues to where to look for life on other, seemingly barren, planets.
- The relatively tiny Colorado River had substantial help in carving out a chasm as wide and deep as the Grand Canyon. The story is so complex and the evidence so scarce that it took geologist decades to unravel the mysteries.
- The Great Lakes region provided geologists with much of the evidence for the frequent ice ages that visited North America. But the lakes may be a rather transient feature of the continent dependent upon the recurring ice ages to maintain their existence.
- The Hawaiian Islands are a study in contradictions. The fastest growing islands on earth are also the fastest disappearing. Made of one of the hardest minerals, it crumbles at a touch. The world's most active volcano is nowhere near the typical volcanic regions. Geologists strive to understand these mysteries.
- Scotland is a ground zero for some of the most significant geologic cataclysms in Earth's history. Understanding of these titanic shifts was prompted by a mysterious lake known as Loch Ness.
- The geological history of New York City is as superlative as it's current economic impact including; a titanic mountain rage, massive volcanic eruptions, immense glaciers and an enormous flash flood.
- The Alps are known as the majestic mountain range of Europe. But their formation from a collision between Europe and Africa left an unstable structure that is now a classic study in erosion by rivers of water, ice and rock suggesting an even greater former glory. Left unexplained is why the Mediterranean Sea exists between the continents.
- Geologists believe the Rocky Mountains recently rose from an inland sea to twice their current size and becoming a new inland sea may be their not to distant fate.
- A tsunami is a dramatic indicator of geological activity magnifying the impact into extensive coastal destruction. Scientists searching for evidence of past tsunamis to predict when they are likely to recur and how severe they are likely to be uncover a new phenomenon, the mega-tsunami.
- The evidence, structure, history and potential threat of the Yellowstone super volcano are described.
- The dispute between John Muir and Josiah Whitney over how the Yosemite Valley formed is settled with a 200 million year long story more complex then either imagined.
- The history of discovery of gold deposits in California and Nevada and the diverse geological processes the produced the deposits are described.
- The history of Death Valley's transformation from an inland sea to a towering mountain range then to a fresh water lake and finally the salt bed we see today it revealed.
- The convergence of processes that resulted in the extreme height of Mt. Everest and the other Himalayan mountains is explained in conjunction with the supporting geological evidence.
- The Mount Saint Helens 1980 eruption introduces geologists to a variety of volcanic phenomenon never observed before. Yet it presages a similar eruption thousands of miles away and just a few years later in Montserrat.
- The geological mechanism that causes the ring of volcanoes around the pacific ocean is studied and explained.
- The Mayan Prophesy says the end of the world will be on 21 December 2012. Can science explain how one terrible disaster could suddenly destroy the planet? Mega-Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Arkstorms, Asteroid Strikes and Super volcanic eruptions.
- Witness exclusive, never-before-seen footage of a lemon shark birth, right in the middle of hurricane alley in Coasts.
- The teams from GFA are hard pressed to build and launch 8 shows across Quebec for local celebrations. They battle a combination of very bad weather and inexperience from some of the technicians.
- Watch ALL NEW episodes of North America, Sundays at 9PM E/P on Discovery. The water's edge is America's final frontier, where human civilization and untamable wilderness collide. Witness the explosive encounters that define the continent's coasts.
