Plot : Adventurer, filmmaker, inventor, author, unlikely celebrity and conservationist: For over four decades, Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his explorations under the ocean became synonymous with a love of science and the natural world. As he learned to protect the environment, he brought the whole world with him, sounding alarms more than 50 years ago about the warming seas and our planet’s vulnerability. In BECOMING COUSTEAU, from National Geographic Documentary Films, two-time Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Liz Garbus takes an inside look at Cousteau and his life, his iconic films and inventions, and the experiences that made him the 20th century’s most unique and renowned environmental voice — and the man who inspired generations to protect the Earth.

For folks used to watching the beautiful undersea imagery from the likes of the "Blue Planet" (2001) or it's 2017 sequel, this might seem a little bit unremarkable - but if you watch this documentary on this visionary man, you will soon realise that he and his "oceanic musketeers" were the source of so much of the basic building blocks upon which the latter programmes are based. From designing the "Aqualung" to pioneering waterproof cameras, this Frenchman comes across here as a forward thinking and inspirational figure. Of course he had flaws - much of what he did was funded by and produced for the oil industry, but this film serves to illustrate just how little even those closest to the ocean environment understood about human impact on that space, and gradually how his increasing awareness became the vehicle for a global attempt to profoundly change attitudes towards the seas. His life was not without it's struggles - personal and professional, and though the film does reflect those, it doesn't dwell on them: this is essentially an interesting and compelling story of a man well ahead of the curve. The photography is astonishing; not so much the beautiful underwater stuff, but of his early life - he clearly was a film maker long before anyone saw commercial returns from such ventures. It's let down a bit by the nature of the production. It uses a lot of out-of-vision commentaries and interviews which are sometimes quite hard to follow, and the contemporaneous chronology of the narrative means we don't really get any retrospective, objective, sense from his peers as to his achievements or his vision. Still, for many of us who remember his television series of the 1970s, thus film is an interesting reminder of our time on the "Calypso". A time that clearly demonstrates that pollution and climate change issues have been an high profile issue - and have fallen on many a deaf ear - for many, many years.

Writing in a letter his desire to share the government's most highly classified secret with the American people, Kennedy inadvertently signed his own death warrant.

The most shocking and pervasive government cover-up in history has persisted for almost 6 more decades, despite JFK's thwarted attempt to expose the Truth.

Unearthed - The Mystery of the Shaman Woman

One of the most significant cases in European archaeology is the grave of the shaman woman of Bad Dürrenberg, a key finding of the last hunter-gatherer groups. From a time when there were no written records, this site was first researched by the Nazis, who saw a physically strong male warrior from an ‘original Aryan race’ in the buried person. It was, in fact, the most powerful woman of her time. The latest research shows that she was dark-skinned, had physical deformities, and was a spiritual leader. The documentary – using high-end CGI and motion capture – compares the researchers of the Nazi era, who misrepresented and instrumentalised their findings, to today’s researchers, who meticulously compile findings and evidence, and use cross- disciplinary methods to examine and evaluate them. It also substantiates the theory of the powerful roles women played in prehistoric times. The story of this woman, buried with a baby in her arms, still fascinates us 9,000 years after her death.
