From the team behind Man on Wire comes the story of Nim, the chimpanzee who in the 1970s became the focus of a landmark experiment which aimed to show that an ape could learn to communicate with language if raised and nurtured like a human child.

What we learn about his true nature - and indeed our own - is comic, revealing and profoundly unsettling. close

Today there is no doubt that Leo Tolstoy is one of the greatest Russian writers. He immortalized his name, writing such outstanding works as War and Peace and Anna Karenina, and went down in history as a prolific and influential philosopher and moralist.

A complex and troubled young man, no stranger to gambling and other charms of bachelor life, becomes a writer during his military service in the Caucasus and Crimea. The experience he gained on the front lines will eventually come in handy when writing War and Peace. The book, which is now recognized as the “gold standard” by which all other novels are judged and through which its author was recognized as a staunch pacifist.

Love & Sex under Nazi Occupation questions the burning mystery of intimate heterosexual and homosexual relations in times of war... and shows how being close to death reinforces the yearning for passion, for pleasure, for transgression, for desire as a last burst of freedom, as an ultimate call to life.

Women weren't the Germans' only conquests; indeed, occupied Paris swarms with all kinds of homosexuals—from Genet to Cocteau—who treated with the occupier. The fate of those women who were shaved at the end of the war for fraternizing with Germans is the punishment of a France that lied down and slept with the enemy. close

The BBC turns to the story of the greatest natural disaster that shook the ancient world, the disaster that caused the collapse of civilization and gave birth to a legend, in the film BBC. Atlantis: End of a World, Birth of a Legend.
Around 1620 BC, a giant volcano in the Aegean Sea awoke after sleeping for the past 19,000 years. A powerful eruption destroyed the island of Tyra (better known as Santorini) and caused huge tsunamis that flooded the neighboring island of Crete, the center of the first great European civilization - the Minoan. This catastrophe, as many experts believe today, served as the inspiration for the legend of Atlantis.
The philosopher Plato, who outlined in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias the story of the death of a highly developed civilization called Atlantis, posed a mystery to many generations of researchers who tried to find the location of the legendary country. As many scientists believe today, it was the eruption on the island of Santorini that caused the appearance of myths, on the basis of which the story of Atlantis appeared. Written by BBC. Atlantis: The End of the World, the Birth of a Legend decided to recreate the world of the inhabitants of the island and the catastrophe that befell them.
With the help of state-of-the-art film technology, including CGI technology, they unfold a picture of the terrible disaster that has gripped the island and its inhabitants, giving the opportunity to see so closely one of the greatest disasters in human history. close

Ever wondered what would happen in your own home if you were taken away, and everything inside was left to rot? The answer is revealed in this fascinating programme, which explores the strange and surprising science of decay. For two months in summer 2011, a glass box containing a typical kitchen and garden was left to rot in full public view within Edinburgh Zoo. In this resulting documentary, presenter Dr George McGavin and his team use time-lapse cameras and specialist photography to capture the extraordinary way in which moulds, microbes and insects are able to break down our everyday things and allow new life to emerge from old. Decay is something that many of us are repulsed by. But as the programme shows, it's a process that's vital in nature. And seen in close up, it has an unexpected and sometimes mesmerising beauty. close
