Enter the thrilling, dangerous, sometimes wacky world of young cowboys and cowgirls — where kids don’t just grow up, they “Cowboy Up”. Take a wild ride through the lives of young cowboys and cowgirls as they follow their dreams to compete in rodeo — one of the most dangerous sports in the world. Balancing on bucking horses, broken bones, steer riding school, racing at breakneck speed and working on the ranch: these are the rites of passage for kids growing up cowboy. But the lifestyle of cowboys and cattle ranchers is increasingly under threat — from mad cow disease to rising land costs, urban sprawl and the lure of the oil patch. These pressures make the next generation of cowboys and cowgirls crucial for maintaining the “cowboy way” and parents and kids alike are keen to keep the old traditions alive.

The Khmer Rouge ran what is regarded as one of the twentieth century's most brutal regimes. Yet the Killing Fields of Cambodia remain unexplained. Until now. One of the most harrowing and compelling personal documentaries of our time, ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE exposes for the first time the truth about the Killing Fields and the Khmer Rouge who were behind Cambodia's horrific genocide. More than simply an inquiry into Cambodia's experience, however, ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE is a profound meditation on the nature of good and evil, shedding light on the capacity of some people to do terrible things and for others to forgive them. This riveting film takes audiences as close to witnessing evil as they are ever likely to get. It is also a personal journey into the heart of darkness by journalist/filmmaker Thet Sambath, whose family was wiped out in the Killing Fields, but whose patience and discipline elicits unprecedented on-camera confessions from perpetrators at all levels of the Khmer Rouge hierarchy including Nuon Chea aka Brother Number Two now on trial for genocide. This is investigative journalism of the highest order.

Cameraman and marine biologist Rick Rosenthal captures for the first time on camera Earth's biggest migration — the nightly movement of billions of animals from the ocean's depths to its surface and back. Ocean Magic at Night reveals for us the habitat of the dark open ocean. It is a world without solid objects, like deep space, whose bizarre inhabitants live out their lives suspended in darkness between the surface and the abyss. Each evening they travel up towards the surface to feed, and at dawn back down again to the safety of deep, dark water. Locating this migration in the vast emptiness of the open ocean, and at night, is not easy. Capturing it on camera has never been done before. Rick Rosenthal has made it his mission.

During World War I, the Allies and Germans repeatedly struggled to break the hideous stalemate of trench warfare. In the winter of 1916, Allied engineers devised a massive surprise attack: over 1 million pounds of explosives hidden in secret tunnels driven under German lines. Building the tunnels was desperate work, with tunnelers at constant risk from flooding, cave-ins, and enemy digging teams.

Now, archaeologists are revealing the extraordinary scale and risks of the Allied tunneling operations in one of the biggest excavations ever undertaken on the Western Front. “Secret Tunnel Warfare” opens a unique window on the frenzy of Allied mining activity that led up to the attack and its bitter aftermath.
