Purtroppo la polizia privatizzata e indipendente, non ci va leggera e spesso a farne le spese sono anche gli innocenti cittadini...

They raised children, baked cakes... and built world-class fighter planes. Sixty years ago, thousands of women from Thunder Bay and the Prairies donned trousers, packed lunch pails and took up rivet guns to participate in the greatest industrial war effort in Canadian history. Like many other factories across the country from 1939 to 1945, the shop floor at Fort William's Canadian Car and Foundry was transformed from an all-male workforce to one with forty percent female workers.

Lentamente la jeep attraversa il paesaggio maestoso della campagna del Kurdistan. La strada bianca avvolge con le sue curve gli alberi, le distese di grano, i morbidi picchi, le nuvole, i prati, i sassi, i pochi contadini, quasi smarriti, nello spazio vuoto e solenne. A bordo di un auto da Teheran arriva un gruppo di uomini che stanno cercando un villaggio isolato. A un bambino che li accompagna a destinazione raccontano, mentendo, che stanno cercando un tesoro nel cimitero, in cima alla collina.

A documentary interspersed with acted scenes, this portrait of John DeLorean covers the brilliant but tragically flawed automaker's rise to stardom and shocking down fall.

Anthropocene è il completamento, dopo Manufactured Landscapes (2006) e Watermark (2013), di una trilogia di documentari sull'impatto delle attività umane sul nostro pianeta. Un viaggio in sei continenti, narrato dalla voce di Alicia Vikander, per accostare i diversi modi nei quali l'uomo sta sfruttando le risorse terrestri e modificando la Terra come mai prima, più di quanto facciano i fenomeni naturali. La tesi dell'Anthropocene Working Group, che ha avviato i suoi studi nel 2009, è che gli ultimi 10.000 anni costituiscano un'era geologica vera e propria.

Architect, engineer, geometrician, cartographer, philosopher, futurist, inventor of the famous geodesic dome and one of the most brilliant thinkers of his time. Fuller was renowned for his comprehensive perspective on the world's problems. For more than five decades he developed pioneering solutions reflecting his commitment to the potential of innovative design to create technology that does "more with less" and thereby improve human lives. He spent much of his life traveling the world lecturing and discussing his ideas with thousands of audiences. Now more relevant than ever, this film captures Fuller's ideas and thinking told in his own words.

Explore the 1928 collapse of the St. Francis Dam, the second deadliest disaster in California history.

The catastrophe killed more than 400 people and destroyed millions of dollars of property.

What caused Building 7 to collapse on 9/11? Dr. Leroy Hulsey from the University of Alaska Fairbanks may have the answer, following an exhausting four year engineering study.

The Sealab project, launched in 1969 off the shore of northern California, was the brainchild of a country doctor turned naval pioneer who dreamed of pushing the limits of ocean exploration like NASA did space exploration. The massive, 300-ton tubular structure was a pressurized underwater habitat, complete with science labs and living quarters for divers who would live and work there on the ocean floor for days or even months at a time. During the height of the Space Race, this daring program also tested the limits of human endurance and revolutionized the way humans explore the ocean.

BUILT FOR MARS: THE PERSEVERANCE ROVER goes behind the scenes at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to follow the birth of the Perseverance rover.
