Europe in the 1920s and 1930s is a continent licking its wounds after the devastating First World War, on the brink of economic crisis, and shattered by refugee flows from revolutions and civil war, marked by a refusal to accept these desperate people: fertile ground for disagreements with fragile new democracies and the rise of authoritarian regimes. Meanwhile, there are striking similarities — the rise of the far right, the turn of democracies toward “illiberal” regimes, the shaky foundations of our financial system. Can the past contain warnings for the present? The series chronicles a complex sequence of events that led to the emergence of a new administration and allowed violence and brutality to unfold on an incredible scale. This is a view of history that has a direct bearing on today’s world. close

This is a series of documentary programs about the activities of public organizations and police departments for the protection of animals from cruel treatment. All of these organizations are non-profit, funded by a public donation account. Their goal is to prevent cruel treatment of animals by working with their owners; to develop kindness and attention to animals in society; to teach humane treatment of animals. Each department investigates up to 10,000 cases of ill-treatment each year. The team of the Animal Planet TV channel filmed how investigators rescue forgotten pets from abandoned houses, take away those on the verge of death from the starvation of horses from their indifferent owners, and how these very owners are charged. You will see how veterinarians and community volunteers treat and care for victims of inexplicable human cruelty, and how hopeless animals find real owners. close

The sons of Athens were waiting for a completely different life – the improvement of their own beauty and sexual skills in the legendary “gymnasiums”. Only the decline of Greek power and the coming of the Roman authorities gave men and women equal rights in the love arena ... close

Learn about technologies that will usher in a new way of life: living in floating cities, flying to work and traveling in cars that can swim underwater. And with new technologies, humanity will find new ways to protect and conserve resources to offset the needs of a growing population using renewable sources of water, food and energy.
