An exciting video journey through the world of time-lapse photography by one of the founders of the science of photobiology. Do fluorescent lights cause cancer and childhood learning and behavior disorders? Can long-term exposure to low-level radiation as from TV sets, computers, fluorescent lights, and similar devices harm your health? Does living behind window glass and with glasses covering our eyes over years affect our health? Is natural sunlight and trace ultra-violet radiation really harmful to our health? Or is it necessary and beneficial? How do cells, plants and animals respond to constant exposure to different light color frequencies? Does mal-illumination and electrosmog create nervous agitation and a weakened immune system? These and similar questions were the subject of Dr. John Nash Ott's pioneering investigations in the field of photobiology, using the methods of time-lapse photography.

2015 marks the 60th anniversary of Albert Einstein’s death, and the subsequent disappearance of his brain. After his brain was stolen by the doctor trusted to perform his autopsy, the priceless specimen was examined by scientists whose goal was to try and determine what made this seemingly normal man change the face of science and define the word genius.

It dives deep into Einstein’s life, his theories and not just what we’ve learned about the human brain by studying his, but what we have yet to learn.

The tornado that struck El Reno, Oklahoma, on May 31, 2013, defined superlatives. It was the largest, one of the fastest, and—for storm chasers—the most lethal twister ever recorded on Earth. Among those it claimed was Tim Samaras, revered as one of the most experienced and cautious scientists studying tornadoes. But this storm was unlike any he had witnessed before. In this National Geographic Special, we unravel the tornado and tell its story. But this is not your typical storm chasing documentary. While this film will include many firsthand accounts and harrowing videos from scientists and amateurs in pursuit of the tornado, it was also probably the best documented storm in history and these clips are part of a unique and ever-growing database documenting every terrifying twist and turn of the storm from all angles.

Believe it or not this is the first serious documentary on boredom. Director Albert Nerenberg (LAUGHOLOGY, STUPIDITY) asks why the subject of boredom has been so religiously avoided and shows that boredom isn't what you think it is. The film's breakthrough research suggests boredom is likely a state of stress. It may also be killing you. Perhaps the powers that be would rather you not know that, especially if you're inside some kind of educational institution or dead end job. The film addresses whether we are actually more bored in today's society, surrounded by stimulating media or if the media saves us from this state of lethargy and disinterest. It explores how boredom actually produces stress and that MRI technology has shown that being bored actually speeds up the brain process and increases heart rate. Despite being satirical in tone, this film also examines how boredom negatively impacts education and how it can even play a large part in addiction and, more obviously, risk-taking. In this entertaining romp Nerenberg blows the lid off the boredom conspiracy and reveals a culture that not only tolerates boredom but actually promotes it.

This shocking and compelling one-off documentary journeys inside South Africa’s lucrative trophy hunting industry, showing in intimate detail how lucrative it is to breed lions, and how the authorities and most professional hunting and tourism bodies have become complicit in allowing the industries to flourish. Every year, over 800 captive, hand-reared lions are shot in South Africa – mostly by international hunters – fuelling a multi-million dollar industry. It's believed that there could be as many as 7,000 lions living in captivity in South Africa alone, the vast majority living in appalling conditions. The breeders of these animals claim they are involved in conservation, educational and research initiatives. Blood Lions: Bred for the Bullet follows acclaimed environmental journalist and safari operator Ian Michler, and hunter Rick Swazey, on their journey to uncover what is going on, who is involved, the impact on the animals, and how much money is being generated by this industry.
