100 years have passed since the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. Although filmed records of its aftermath exist, the footage held flaws making it difficult to identify locations or times, obscuring the reality of how citizens of Tokyo faced this overwhelming disaster. To understand these details, we remastered the film into 8K resolution, and attempted to colorize it, while also making full use of audio accounts by survivors and a variety of scientific analyses by specialists. This program opens a new window into the events surrounding the disaster that had once been shrouded in mystery.

In 1925 Caroline Crale (RACHAEL STIRLING) is hanged for the murder of her husband, the famous bohemian painter, Amyas Crale (AIDAN GILLEN). Their daughter Lucy is sent away to Canada, the awful truth hidden from her. Thirteen years later Lucy (AIMEE MULLINS), now a sophisticated twenty-one year old, approaches Poirot (DAVID SUCHET), brandishing a letter that her mother wrote on the eve of her death. It claims that she is innocent. Poirot agrees to dig up the past and find out the truth, warning Lucy that it may not be what she wants to hear. Poirot acquaints himself with the facts of the trial and realises that there were five people present at this house that fateful summer of 1926. He interviews them individually and with great cunning and flexing of his little grey cells, he pieces together snatches of misinterpreted conversation and draws out secrets and telling letters that those involved hardly thought were relevant. The crime was thought to be a crime of passion. Amyas made no secrets that he had affairs but Caroline always knew that he would come back to her. This time it was different. Elsa Greer (JULIE COX) was a beautiful, bold eighteen-year-old and Amyas appeared infatuated. He brought her to the family house, Alderbury, and spent hours painting her against the backdrop of the water garden. It was his finest painting to date and he would stop at nothing to finish it. Tensions began to rise between Amyas, his wife and his mistress until the cruel Elsa blurts out that Amyas and she want to get married. Amyas can't deny it. Caroline is heart broken. The guests, including Philip Blake (TOBY STEPHENS), who is Amyas's best friend, Philip's brother Meredith (MARC WARREN), who owns the house across the creek from Alderbury and Miss Williams (GEMMA JONES), the governess, are all shocked and acutely embarrassed. Only the children, naughty Angela (TALULAH RILEY) Caroline's younger half sister and little Lucy, remain oblivious to the dark cloud hanging over the household. After the group has paid a visit to his amateur laboratory, Meredith realises that a dangerous poison is missing. After lunch, he discovers the use that it was put to. Amyas is found dead in front of his precious painting of Elsa. All the evidence points to Caroline and she is arrested and charged. Poirot then invites the main suspects back once more to Alderbury, which is now filled with fourteen years of dust and memories and prepares for a grand denouement. Was Caroline Crale guilty? The world's greatest detective recreates the events of that Summer revealing the intrigue, love and jealousies of those trapped in the past.

When Ronald Reagan nominated Sandra Day O'Connor as the Supreme Court's first female justice in 1981, the announcement dominated the news. Time Magazine's cover proclaimed "Justice At Last," and she received unanimous Senate approval. Born in 1930 in El Paso, Texas, O'Connor grew up on a cattle ranch in Arizona in an era when women were expected to become homemakers. After graduating near the top of her class at Stanford Law School, she could not convince a single law firm to interview her, so she turned to volunteer work and public service. A Republican, she served two terms in the Arizona state senate, then became a judge on the state court of appeals. During her 25 years on the Supreme Court, O'Connor was the critical swing vote on cases involving some of the 20th century's most controversial issues, including abortion, affirmative action - and she was the tiebreaker on Bush v. Gore. Forty years after her confirmation, this biography recounts the life of a pioneering woman who both reflected and shaped an era.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan was the quintessential American poet-politician. He alone infused public policy with a language, literature, and lyricism that no American public figure in the latter half of the twentieth century could match. The film takes a personal look at a public man who was not only an intellectual but also an aesthete who was deeply committed to making an inimitable impact on the world. With unprecedented access to the Moynihan archives made available by his family, the film will capture and define a character whose life embodied a quintessential American story. The range of Moynihan's interests was extraordinary: architecture, urban planning, public works, transportation safety, international diplomacy, government secrecy and above all, an unyielding commitment to creating systemic change for the American underclass. Directed by Joe Dorman.
Hear the inspiring story of a long-shot outsider who fought his way to the top office in the world, beat the odds against him again and again, and never looked back in his quest to better the lives of millions.

Raptors are majestic birds. With razor-sharp talons, keen vision and a curved beak that's sharp as a knife, raptors are truly "Kings of the Sky." Found on six of the Earth's seven continents, raptors range in size from the very small, such as the falconet that stands just a few inches tall, to the huge Andean condor with a wingspan of more than 10 feet. But as humans increasingly encroach on their natural habitat, raptors are being forced to adapt to a changing world. While some hawks have adapted reasonably well to city life with its abundant high perches, extra water and prey, city life also poses deadly risks. Electrocution and fatal collisions with cars and windows have taken their toll. The documentary RAPTORS! KINGS OF THE SKY explores the intersection of humans and raptors in the wild and in cities, and asks, what challenges does modern society present to them and what can be done to save them?
