Living with Devils

Frank Hurley's photos of Antarctic heroes, World Wars and mysterious natives in faraway jungles grabbed the attention of all who saw them. But just how real were they? Was he a giant in photography or just a conjurer with a camera?

The next great voyage of human exploration has already begun: the search for life on planets orbiting distant stars. With extraordinary CGI, the world's most inspiring scientists, via extreme environments on Earth and around the solar system, the film takes viewers aboard the next generation of space ships, across the cosmos and beneath the clouds of the exo-planets to discover The Living Universe.

The story of Tasmanian-born actor Errol Flynn whose short & flamboyant life, full of scandals, adventures, loves and excess was largely played out in front of the camera - either making movies or filling the newsreels and gossip magazines. Tragically he was dead from the effects of drugs and alcohol by the time he was only 50 & the myths live on. But there is another side of Flynn that is less well known - his ambitions to be a serious writer and newspaper correspondent, his documentary films and his interest in the Spanish Civil War and Castro's Cuba

The Hobbit Enigma examines one of the greatest controversies in science today: what did scientists find when they uncovered the tiny, human-like skeleton of a strange creature, known to many as the Hobbit, on the Indonesian island of Flores in 2003?

You find fungi in Antarctica and in nuclear reactors. They live inside your lungs and your skin is covered with them. Fungi are the most under appreciated and unexplained organisms, yet they could cure you from smallpox and turn cardboard boxes into forests. They could even transform Mars into Eden. There are vastly more fungi species than plants and each and every one of them play a crucial role in life’s support systems. Join us on a journey into the mysterious world of Fungi to witness their beauty, unravel their mysteries and discover how this secret kingdom is essential to life on Earth, and may in fact hold the key to our future.

Like the Earth, the human body is a planet teeming with wild life in the midst of fascinating landscapes. For the first time, a microscopic film safari traces these different life forms in and on the human body. These organisms thrive and compete, feed and reproduce, develop and die. In the course of the journey, it becomes clear that some of these organisms are useful and even vital for humans, while others are harmful. Nevertheless, they are all part of a sophisticated ecosystem that has developed over the course of evolution. The number of bacteria that the human body harbors is greater than the number of cells that make it up. Every human being is therefore in constant interaction with countless microorganisms.

This is the story of a charismatic family of endangered animals and one man’s extraordinary devotion. It unfolds in a distant wilderness, in a land forgotten by time. But change is coming. In less than a year, this magical place, along with those who live here, may be lost forever. Welcome to Quoll Farm.

With unprecedented access, we go inside Task Force Argos, the world’s best investigative team dedicated to rescuing the children being sexually abused by highly organised dark web networks. As technology reaches into every corner of the globe, this has become the fastest growing serious crime in the world. Tens of thousands of children are being exploited and tortured. Argos is often the only hope these children have of being found..

A very rich documentary about the new science of network. It is built around reproducing the “Six degrees of separation” experience.

Naturalist and filmmaker Simon Plowright has dedicated his life to understanding and protecting Tasmania's unique wildlife. That mission leads him to an old, abandoned farmhouse, where a community of rarely seen eastern quolls resides. To find out more about these enigmatic, small marsupials, Simon packs his cameras and moves in with them for a year. However, this will be no simple field study. Over the next twelve months, he and his quolls will encounter invasive predators, opportunistic thieves, and the worst bushfire in Australia's history.

Dr Jeni Haynes lives with Dissociative Identity Disorder, her memories held by 2,500 alternate selves. When she seeks justice for childhood abuse, a decade-long investigation asks whether fractured testimony can be believed, or whether her condition preserved the truth needed to make legal history, with police, psychiatry and the judiciary aligned together.

Self-flight heroes Nelson Tyler & Bill Suitor, join forces with rookie David Mayman on his gravity defying quest to build & fly the world's first Jet Pack.

PBS' premier science series helps viewers of all ages explore the science behind the headlines. Along the way, NOVA demystifies science and technology, and highlights the people involved in scientific pursuits.

This documentary is about microorganisms that live, compete, feed, and breed on the surface or in the depths of our bodies.

For some, creating an effective, affordable, pleasure-enhancing female condom is an obsession. For millions, accessing such a device is a matter of life and death for the unwanted pregnancies and infections it would prevent.
