本系列是创新的科学特备节目,共有三集。透过互动实验和各种小技巧,展现我们的大脑如何创造现实幻觉。这些令人兴奋和具有启发性的实验,能让我们一窥大脑的内部运作,而世界顶尖的专家会解释他们工作的内容及原因。我们也会在高科技实验室探索最新科学,与绝顶聪明的人物见面。三集节目的主题分别为注意力、感官(视觉和听觉)及记忆。 EP01 注意力 本集主题为注意力,顶尖魔术师大卫高柏飞专精於操控观众的注意力并创造令人惊叹的幻觉,科学家会运用他们对注意力的了解,创造与顶尖魔术师匹敌的幻觉。注意力的瓶颈能减少脑部刺激,甚至一只哥斯拉从你眼前走过也看不到! EP02 感官经验 本节目在荷李活录影厂摄制,制片家使用声音影像创造逼真幻象。令人意外的是,人类的耳朵与眼睛时刻都在创造有关真实世界的幻象,色彩、光线、动作与深度都是由大脑建构,而这些体验其实可轻易受到操控。 EP03 记忆 本集节目的主题是记忆力之谜。在纽约市的街道上,以一宗骇人听闻的罪案测试观众的记忆力。记忆力能决定你是怎样的人,而细节遗失、回忆改变,令大脑形成的记忆都是假的。专家对於我们脑部的创造力和回忆力的看法,令人大吃一惊。
迪来自越南北部,一个雾气笼罩的山区。她今年12岁,是一个苗族女孩。在这个少数民族里,女孩在很小的时候就会结婚。结婚前通常会有一个饱受争议的"抢婚"风俗,即女孩在新年前夕被她未来的丈夫“抢走“,随后两家人之间再进行协商。 迪的姐姐和她们的母亲也不例外,因此在婚前准备时,妇女和女孩们大方地谈论性和婚姻生活的情景并不特殊。与此同时,迪也在上学,在学校里她接触到了全然不同的价值观,甚至迪的母亲也以她自己的方式,试图告诫她的女儿关于童婚的问题。 在这里,孩子们既受到传统文化影响,同时也与外部世界相联系,导演阎夏乐在影片里娓娓道来这里的悠久习俗与现代价值观之间的冲突。作为她的第一部纪录长片,影片聚焦一位苗族少女所面临的挑战,但最重要的是,这是一部关于一位坚强的青少年,而不仅仅是一个受害者的动人影片。

Future of Food In the past year, we have seen food riots on three continents, food inflation has rocketed and experts predict that by 2050, if things don't change, we will see mass starvation across the world. This film sees George Alagiah travel the world in search of solutions to the growing global food crisis. From the two women working to make their Yorkshire market town self-sufficient to the academic who claims it could be better for the environment to ship in lamb from New Zealand, George Alagiah meets the people who believe they know how we should feed the world as demand doubles by the middle of the century. 【India】 George joins a Masai chief among the skeletons of hundreds of cattle he has lost to climate change and the English farmer who tells him why food production in the UK is also hit. He spends a day eating with a family in Cuba to find out how a future oil shock could lead to dramatic adjustments to diets. He visits the breadbasket of India to meet the farmer who now struggles to irrigate his land as water tables drop, and finds out why obesity is spiralling out of control in Mexico. Back in Britain, George investigates what is wrong with people's diets, and discovers that the UK imports an average of 3000 litres of water per capita every day. He talks to top nutritionist Susan Jebb, DEFRA minister Hilary Benn and Nobel laureate Rajendra Pachauri to uncover what the future holds for our food. 【Senegal】 George heads out to India to discover how a changing diet in the developing world is putting pressure on the world's limited food resources. He finds out how using crops to produce fuel is impacting on food supplies across the continents. George then meets a farmer in Kent, who is struggling to sell his fruit at a profit, and a British farmer in Kenya who is shipping out tonnes of vegetables for our supermarket shelves. He also examines why so many people are still dying of hunger after decades of food aid. Back in the UK, George challenges the decision-makers with the facts he has uncovered - from Oxfam head of research Duncan Green to Sainsbury's boss Justin King. He finds out why British beef may offer a model for future meat production and how our appetite for fish is stripping the world's seas bare. 【Cuba】 In the final episode George Alagiah heads out to Havana to find out how they are growing half of their fruit and vegetables right in the heart of the city, investigates the 'land-grabs' trend - where rich countries lease or buy up the land used by poor farmers in Africa - and meets the Indian agriculturalists who have almost trebled their yields over the course of a decade. George finds out how we in this country are using cutting-edge science to extend the seasons recycle our food waste and even grow lettuce in fish tanks to guarantee the food on our plates. He hears the arguments about genetically modified food and examines even more futuristic schemes to get the food on to our plates.
