Love, power, money, ghosts of empire, conspiracies, artificial intelligence – and You.An emotional history of the modern world by Adam Curtis.Ĭhapter 1 - Bloodshed on Wolf MountainWe are living through strange days. Could neutrinos overturn the most precise theory of particle physics that humans have ever written down? Could they even be a link to a hidden realm of new particles that permeate the cosmos - so called dark matter? Scientists at Fermilab are edging towards the truth. In these unlikely places supersized neutrino detectors hope to unlock the universe's deepest secrets. The problem is, these tiny particles are almost impossible to detect.Įlsewhere, physicists conduct experiments in some of the most extreme environments on the planet: from deep mine shafts in South Dakota to vast ice fields at the South Pole. If they find it, this could transform our understanding of the nature and fabric of our universe. Inside the world-renowned physics laboratory Fermilab, a team of scientists are constructing an audacious experiment to hunt for a mysterious new 'ghost' neutrino. This is an astonishing tale of perseverance and ingenuity that reveals how scientists have battled against the odds for almost a century to detect and decode the neutrino, the smallest and strangest particle of matter in the universe. Told entirely from the first-person perspective of leaders, physicists, soldiers and survivors, the documentary presents the moral, scientific and military conundrums of the atomic bomb as felt by those closest to it.ĥ9:00 Neutrino: Hunting the Ghost Particle HIROSHIMA: 75 YEARS LATER aims to infuse humanity into one of the planet's darkest moments, allowing the figures who designed, built and detonated the bomb, as well as those who were caught in its wake, to narrate their own journeys through an astonishing story of scientific endeavor, unprecedented ambition and unyielding horror. Jeff Turner won the award for Best Direction in a Documentary or Factual Series, for the episode "The Eternal Frontier".Marking the anniversary of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon in wartime and the swift end it brought to World War II, this special features never-before-seen archival footage, long-suppressed colour film from the immediate aftermath of the bomb, and overlooked audio testimony from core protagonists and victims to provide a a unique and highly personal understanding of the most devastating experiment in human history. The series garnered several Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 3rd Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Nature or Nature Documentary Program or Series, Best Direction in a Documentary or Factual Series, Best Photography in a Documentary Program or Factual Series and Best Original Music for a Non-Fiction Program or Series, and its companion digital media application for smartphones and tablets was nominated for Best Cross-Platform Project, Non-Fiction. The Turners were both contributors to the similar BBC series Planet Earth and Frozen Planet. Created by documentarians Jeff and Sue Turner, the series profiles the natural environment of Canada through high-definition video footage. Wild Canada is a Canadian documentary television miniseries, which aired in 2014 on CBC Television as part of its The Nature of Things series.
