Deep beneath the Indian Ocean, a team of explorers embarks on a bold scientific mission to capture one of nature’s rarest survivors — the coelacanth, a fish unchanged for 400 million years. Narrated by David Attenborough, the film follows NHK’s deep-sea crew aboard the OceanX vessel as they attempt the world’s first 72-hour observation of this living fossil. Using cutting-edge submersibles, they descend into an ancient realm where time itself seems frozen. As the cameras reveal the coelacanth’s slow, graceful movements, scientists uncover vital clues about evolution’s greatest leap — the moment life crawled from sea to land. Blending adventure, technology, and breathtaking natural history, this deep-ocean odyssey illuminates how a single fish still holds the key to understanding our own beginnings.
In Episodes 4 and 5, you can see how the most universal human desire—to bring new life into the world—collides with science, culture, and the limits of our own biology. From groundbreaking fertility treatments that promise hope to countless families, to the hidden struggles behind why so many people still can’t conceive, these episodes reveal the fascinating and often heartbreaking reality of reproduction today. You’ll also witness the raw, unfiltered experience of itself: the intense pain, the unexpected complications, and the inspiring ways doctors and parents try to make this incredible ordeal safer and more humane.
Explore the science of attraction, the evolution of reproductive health, and the cultural taboos that shape our most private experiences. This illuminating series unpacks how desire begins in the brain, how birth control has transformed society, and why sex remains one of humanity’s most captivating mysteries. The first three episodes reveal how most sexual fantasies can be traced back to just a few provocative themes, and delve into the surprising science behind why we’re irresistibly drawn to certain types of partners. You’ll also discover the hidden factors that spark desire, and follow the long, often frustrating quest to control reproduction—from ancient herbal remedies to modern pills and IUDs—and why birth control remains such a complicated challenge even today.
Groundbreaking missions and the latest research are finally uncovering the long-hidden secrets of Mars. From ancient water flows to possible traces of life, scientists are piecing together the planet's dramatic past. As powerful new technology scans its surface and atmosphere, experts confront extraordinary questions: Did Mars once support life? And could humanity one day make the Red Planet its second home? A stunning exploration into the evolving mysteries of our nearest planetary neighbor.
An entire world long vanished, reborn in breathtaking detail. Through the lens of cutting-edge science, each episode uncovers the untold story of a single dinosaur — its fears, its fights, its desperate struggle to survive in a brutal prehistoric landscape. With state-of-the-art visual effects and the latest fossil discoveries, this groundbreaking series offers an unprecedented, intimate look at the daily lives of Earth’s most legendary creatures. More than just science — this is raw drama, real survival, and nature at its most spectacular. We offer the complete 6-episode collection of this magnificent series, presented as a nearly 5-hour long documentary experience.
For decades, scientists have sought to unlock the secrets of ancient DNA, a fragile genetic blueprint that rarely survives millions of years. Danish biologist Eske Willerslev had a groundbreaking idea: instead of searching for DNA in fossils or ancient tissues, he looked to frozen sediment. Initially dismissed as impossible, his work led to the recovery of genetic traces from over two million years ago, revealing lush ecosystems that existed before the Ice Age. These discoveries offer unprecedented insights into long-extinct species that thrived in warm, verdant Arctic landscapes.
Willerslev’s perseverance revolutionized DNA research, enabling scientists to reconstruct vanished ecosystems and uncover the genetic secrets of ancient worlds. By examining the DNA of past climates, researchers are paving the way to better understand Earth's deep history and adapt to current environmental challenges. This landmark breakthrough demonstrates that ancient DNA acts as a "time machine," allowing humanity to explore its distant past and draw lessons for the future.
