Hindenburg: The New Evidence

Inspired by newly found amateur film footage, HINDENBURG: THE NEW EVIDENCE follows a team of aviation experts, historians and scientists as they launch a new investigation into the Hindenburg disaster. They travel to the site of the crash, Lakehurst, New Jersey, to review the historical records from 6 May 1937- weather conditions, event timelines and eyewitness accounts- and evaluate the authenticity of the newly restored film. The investigators also meet with historians who explain how the Hindenburg was constructed and observe experiments in the labs of Caltech to determine the cause of the Hindenburg tragedy.

Sex And Sensibility

The popularity of costume dramas showing Regency England as a hotbed of sexual tension, salacious gossip and extra-marital affairs continues to captivate audiences' imagination around the world. Sex and Sensibility lifts the lid on the racy real sex lives of Georgian and Regency gentry. Combining the locations of Netflix's Bridgerton with contributions from leading historians and drama reconstruction, we discover the sex, drugs and Georgian rock and roll were very much a part of Regency high society.

How The World Ends

Exploring some of the most widely-held doomsday forecasts and their impending timeline to destruction. From the natural, to the religious, to the astrophysical, this series brings viewers the science, history, and people behind each theory, while probing for evidence for and against each scenario.

The Dambusters

The story begins in Spring 1943 as squadron leader Guy Gibson assembles and trains a crack team of 133 young airmen whose mission is to destroy the great dams of Germany using a revolutionary new bouncing bomb. If successful they’ll deal a hammer blow to the Nazi war effort. Pushing human skill and engineering capabilities to limit, this is the story of the single mission that can change the course of the Second World War. Over the course of three episodes, historian Dan Snow relives the nail-biting countdown to the most daring and ingenious bombing raids in history.

Cured

As the global LGBTQ community continues battling for civil rights and faces ongoing stigma, discrimination, and violence, the documentary CURED provides invaluable context for what is arguably the most significant turning point in Gay Liberation history. Until 1973, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) classified homosexuality as a mental illness. CURED sheds light on the little-known story of the LGBTQ activists who challenged the APA to remove homosexuality from its manual of mental illnesses — and won. The documentary combines eyewitness testimony with never-before-seen archival footage to depict this epic battle. CURED illuminates the strategy and tactics that led to this pivotal yet largely overlooked moment in the struggle for LGBTQ equality. Indeed, following the Stonewall uprising of 1969, the campaign that culminated in the APA’s 1973 decision marks the first major step on the path to first-class citizenship for LGBTQ Americans — and a giant step forward for LGBTQ people worldwide, reframing not only how this community was seen but also how it sees itself.
