Through our subject Adam, we reveal the incredible changes and forces that take all humankind from Cradle to Grave.
Three million years ago, camels roamed through Greenland’s endless forests and our ancestors lived in the trees. It all came to an end with the Ice Ages. What died and what survived, as natural selection shaped the evolutionary tree during this epochal shift from hot to cold? Until now, scientists have known less about the natural world before the Ice Age than they did about the age of dinosaurs, which ended 64 million years ago. A new discovery is set to reveal this lost world, species by species. Led by Danish gene-hunter Eske Willerslev, a team of scientists for the first time in history is sequencing DNA from before the Ice Age. The picture that emerges is of a hot planet, when forests blanketed the Arctic and carbon levels matched those in our atmosphere today. Is this a portrait of our own climate future?
Director Dominique Leclerc spent years depending on medical devices for her survival. Then, looking for alternative solutions, she entered the world of emerging technologies.
Posthumans follows her as she meets with cyborgs, biohackers, and transhumanists who are trying to use these technologies to outsmart illness, aging—and even death. The documentary looks at pressing ethical and political questions that are sure to impact the future of our species.
An awesome 3D CGI action adventure movie that integrates learning with the thrill of fast-paced animation. In a captivating battle between good and evil inside the body of Jack Decayd, the film introduces you to our heroes - the Body Mechanics - Soolynn, Gluke, Sara Bellum, and the Knowledge Master Neuro. The Body Mechanics are locked in combat with their arch nemesis - A.G. (Awesome Guy the Fat Cell) and his Coalition of Harm and Disease (CHD) - Kortizol, Beetez II, Col Esterol and the Free Radicalz. Travel through the body in the microscopic 'HealthProbe' to visit the Health Quarters (home of the Body Mechanics), the Kortex Kave, Movement Control and of course, the decaying Obeez City!

What if science could reverse the aging process? Follow the researchers as they decipher these mechanisms, with the promise of finding the elixir of youth so you can live longer, healthier lives!
What's the point of music? You might be tempted to answer that it's an enjoyable pastime or an art form, but nothing really essential. For the first time, a documentary shows the opposite. Music is a biological necessity for human beings: it helps build our brains. In recent years, the discoveries of international neuroscience researchers have revolutionized our understanding of the impact of music on our brains. This film is a behavioral and neurological investigation whose ambition is to unveil the mystery of music's powers in our lives.
