‘Space Disasters’ is an exciting and educational documentary series about the challenges in humankind’s attempts to conquer space. Each episode will tell some of space exploration’s most dramatic stories in rocketry and manned flight from the US/Soviet space race to modern day aeronautics. We focus especially on some of the challenges that had to be overcome, the risks that were taken and the lessons learned when things went wrong.

Earth is a volcanic planet with over 1,400 active giants spread across the globe. But what would happen if all of them were to erupt at once? From rivers of lava, towering ash clouds, and pyroclastic flows to tsunamis and super-sized climate change, we explore the powerful volcanic forces that fascinate today’s scientists. Join us as we conduct a thrilling thought experiment with leading volcanologists that reveal the inner workings of some of the world’s most magnificent volcanoes.

108 years after sinking, the Titanic wreck is under threat. Resting at over 12,500 feet below sea level and 380 nautical miles off the coast of Newfoundland, in pitch-black darkness, the most famous shipwreck in the world is being consumed by a colony of iron-eating bacteria. This slow and irreversible decay, according to the most concerned experts, will sweep away all the secrets of the mythic liner within a few decades. This film relates the underwater odyssey of the greatest Titanic expeditions and the evolution of the most scrutinized shipwreck in the world. From the epic discovery of the wreck by a French-American team in 1985 (after some twenty failed attempts) to the exploratory missions led by James Cameron, who managed to light the wreck scene like a Hollywood film set and venture inside the ship thanks to remote controlled robots, on to the treasure hunts that brought back over 5,000 vestiges — we’ll be able to experience the unequalled thrill of these extreme dives. For the first time ever, five heroes of Titanic exploration will invite us to relive their fabulous adventures and missions aiming to preserve the last remains of the Titanic. Featuring James Cameron (film director and explorer), Lori Johnston (biologist studying the bacterial attack on the Titanic), Anatoly Sagalevich (engineer, submersible designer), Paul-Henry Nargeolet (expeditions director who led 7 Titanic missions) and Jean-Louis Michel (co-discoverer of the wreck for IFREMER).
