Claude Shannon is the unknown genius who laid the foundation for the information age. He also constructed a mathematical theory of juggling, rode a unicycle, wrote the first paper on computer chess and built a flaming trumpet! The Bit Player tells the inspiring story of a man who revolutionized the world, but never lost his child- like curiosity.

Believe it or not, this is the first serious documentary on boredom. Director Albert Nerenberg asks why the subject of boredom has been so religiously avoided and shows that boredom isn’t what you think it is. (Also available Laughology and Stupidity.)

The Golden Gate was dubbed ‘the bridge that couldn’t be built’. More than 20 years, 11 deaths and 1 engineering revolution later, its completion stunned the world. This is the story, not of its making, but of its redesign – to withstand the incredible forces of an earthquake. Join the engineers on a race against time to save the bridge.
Blowdown follows a team of demolition experts as they implode iconic structures built to withstand time. Whether it’s the Sharaton Bal Harbor resort on Miami’s busy beach or the RCA Dome in downtown Indianapolis, Controlled Demolition Inc from Phoenix, Maryland pushes demolition engineering to its limits. Each episode gives an insider’s look at these marvels of engineering and reveals what it takes to bring them to the ground.

Bridges of New York shows an evolution of architectural achievements through the prism of the bridges of New York City. We consider four of Manhattan’s landmark bridges, revealing the engineering feats and evolution of materials that made these bridges possible. We look at the needs of the people who use the bridges, and see how the bridges mirror their builders.

Alaska is a land of extreme natural architecture and forces: active volcanoes, frequent earthquakes, extreme weather, and glaciers in never ending motion. Still under construction, Alaska keeps growing and grinding, melting and shaking. We’ll lead you through the working parts of this natural mechanical engineering machine and see how nature engineered and built America’s most rugged state.
