简介: 1974年8月7日,法国杂技名人菲利普·珀蒂(保罗·麦克吉尔 Paul McGill饰)在纽约世贸大厦高达110层(412米)的两座大楼之间,完成了一次至今仍令人叹为观止的壮举——搭起了一条横跨天穹的钢索,完成了长达45分钟的大胆表演。谁也想不到,这个害羞的25岁男孩菲利普,在朋友们的帮助下,缜密调查筹划,突破层层关卡,终于神不知鬼不觉地完成了这次极其危险而疯狂的“艺术犯罪”。菲利普在钢索上或跪或躺,时而慢行时而舞动。影片镜头细腻地捕捉到了当年无比惊险的分秒,并生动地重演了现场,再加上人物访谈等多种手法,使得这部逐梦世贸大厦间的纪录片,在美国911事件后,弥足珍贵。 这部由BBC、Discovery和UK Film Council联合出品的传记类纪录片《走钢丝的人》,荣获2009年第81届奥斯卡金像奖-最佳纪录长片,2009年第62届英国电影和电视艺术学院奖-最佳英国影片,及2008年第21届欧洲电影奖-最佳纪录片奖提名。
简介: Is it humankind's greatest achievement? 12 billion miles away a tiny spaceship is leaving our Solar System and entering the void of deep space. It is the first human-made object ever to do so. Slowly dying within its heart is a plutonium generator that will beat for perhaps another decade before the lights on Voyager finally go out. But this little craft will travel on for millions of years, carrying a Golden Record bearing recordings and images of life on Earth. In all likelihood Voyager will outlive humanity and all our creations. It could be the only thing to mark our existence. Perhaps some day an alien will find it and wonder. The story of Voyager is an epic of human achievement, personal drama and almost miraculous success. Launched 16 days apart in Autumn 1977, the twin Voyager space probes have defied all the odds, survived countless near misses and almost 40 years later continue to beam revolutionary information across unimaginable distances. With less computing power than a ...

简介: In the age of social media, this eye-opening documentary examines the rising phenomenon of “fake news” in the U.S. and the impact that disinformation, conspiracy theories and false news stories have on the average citizen. The film focuses on several high-profile made-up news stories in recent years with real world consequences, including the infamous “Pizzagate” case, the disinformation campaigns that influenced the 2016 presidential election, the Jade Helm conspiracy, and others. Drawing from exclusive verite access and interviews with a variety of experts, as well as purveyors and targets of misinformation, the documentary sheds light on how post-truth culture has become an increasingly dangerous part of the global information environment.
简介: Alcohol: No substance in the world seems so familiar to us and is so incredibly diverse in its effect. Alcohol is available everywhere and this particular molecule has the power to affect all 200 billion neurons of our human brain in completely different ways. But hardly anyone calls alcohol a drug despite its psychoactive and cell-destroying effect. Why do we tolerate the death of three million people every year? Have we turned a blind eye to the dangers and risks for thousands of years? What role does the powerful alcohol industry play with an annual turnover of 1.2 trillion euros in this on-going concealment? The author, who himself enjoys having a drink, looks into the question why we drink at all, what alcohol does to us and to what extent the alcohol industry influences society and politics. He travels around the world from Germany via England to Nigeria to detect aggressive trading practices of the global alcohol industry seeking growth in new markets at all costs. He also visits Iceland, which successfully made the turnaround: Where 20 years ago hordes of drunks roamed the streets, young people today master their need for relaxation and life stimulants without alcohol. The film has no intention to point a moral finger but nevertheless will significantly change the drinking habits of the viewer.
