　　Brian believes we are at the start of a new age of space travel, where space flight is on the verge of becoming routine. In this episode, he explores the latest science and takes a new look at his old films and asks: how far can we go in our exploration of the cosmos?
　　Aliens: Are We Alone?（外星人：人类是唯一的吗？）
　　Brian Cox looks at our attempts to answer one of the most profound questions we can ask – are we alone in the universe? In this film, he explains why this search should be taken seriously.
　　What Is Gravity?（什么是引力？）
　　Brian takes a fresh look at the concept of gravity, revealing it to be far more than just the force that makes things fall to the ground.
　　What is Time?（什么是时间？）
　　Brian explores the enigma of time – a phenomenon that we take for granted but which, as far as physicists are concerned, is one of the biggest mysteries in the universe.

　　The development of professional soccer worldwide owes a great debt to the soccer – or "football" – that is played on the streets of France.

　　James Benning’s first film called The United States of America was a 1975 trip across the country, capturing its scenery through a car windshield. This second one also crisscrosses the nation, but without a car, carving it up instead into a series of static shots of just under two minutes, one for each state, presented alphabetically, from Heron Bay, Alabama to Kelly, Wyoming. The names of the places are nondescript, but the images attached to them are anything but, immaculately composed shots of landscape, cityscape and the spaces in between. As we move from A to Z, the images coalesce into a portrait of today’s USA, tracing out its fault lines almost in passing: fenced-off facilities, a river bed running dry, factories and refineries, run-down streets and gas stations, a camp under a bridge. The past is there too, seeping up through the songs and speeches that sporadically pierce the background noise or the motifs that evoke a whole career; the clouds, trains and cabins are stand-ins for films, not just states. As always, there’s time for more abstract thoughts too: each image may stand for a state, but representativity is slippery. Which state is more cinematic than the rest?

　　郭熙志导演1996年拍摄的纪录短片，纪录安徽铜陵一位身残志坚的盲人师傅的故事。作品曾获得“第四届中国残疾人好新闻”一等奖,并在CCTV播出。是他的“大通三部曲”的第一部。

　　Ben Robinson retraces the dramatic last days of King John, England's most disastrous monarch, and uncovers the legend of his lost treasure.
　　Ten days took King John from ruler of an empire to sudden death, and left the kingdom in ruins. John is famous for the creation of Magna Carta, which inspired our modern democracy.
　　Ben follows in the footsteps of the King's epic last journey, from the treacherous marshes of East Anglia, through Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, to his final resting place in Worcester. He is joined by medieval historian professor Stephen Church.
　　Together they examine the truth behind the legend that has lived on for 800 years. Did the crown jewels really end up in the mud of the Wash? Was the King poisoned? Does he deserve his reputation as our most disastrous monarch?
　　Thanks to unique documents, we can tell this epic tale in the King's own words. Not only can we get into the mind of the Magna Carta King, we can reveal in fantastic detail how and where he travelled.
　　Ben reveals what happened when treasure seekers attempted to find the King's lost jewels with the help of a diviner. And using the latest technology reveals how we can actually see back in time to reveal the landscape as it would have looked when King John made his last journey 800 years ago.

　　以“三部曲”形式描绘美军占领后的伊拉克的社会实态。第一部以逊尼派居住区的少年为观察对象，第二部的视点则切换为什叶派的神职人员，第三部旨在展示库尔德牧人的生活境况。影片虽在返美后完成最终剪辑，但为保持原汁原味，完全留存了伊拉克的现场拾音。在此基础上辅以细腻的映像、巧妙的剪辑，高超的完成度叹为观止。难怪本作于年初的圣丹斯电影节纪录片竞赛部门连中三元——最佳导演、剪辑、摄影奖。

　　Rob Stewart执导的纪录片电影，旨在保护鲨鱼这一物种，该片于2018年出品。
　　该片以冷静的拍摄手法展示了本该是海洋霸主的鲨鱼，在人类社会却濒临灭绝的困境，特别是游走在各国法律边缘的捕鲨行业以及背后的种种腐败。斯图尔特跟踪拍摄了捕鲨行业，引起了观众的反思，也间接促进了一些国家的法律的改变，和民间鲨鱼保护团体的创建等。

　　电影《在勃艮第的一年》描绘了在2011年这个伟大的勃艮第酿酒年份，7个葡萄酒酿造商从葡萄萌芽到收获的整个酿酒历程。
　　
　　Leroy家族的Lalou  Bize-Leroy——罗曼尼康帝的合伙人之一（另一位庄主为Aubert  de  Villaine），与其他6名庄主共同出演。包括Domaine  Perrot-Minot庄的Christophe  Perrot-Minot，Morey-Coffinet庄的Michel  Morey和Fabienne  Coffinet，Vosne-Romanée庄的Bruno  Clavelier。
　　
　　英籍导演David  Kennard是纪录片大师，几年前与著名演员制作了电影《Wine  for  the  Confused（献给葡萄酒菜鸟）》，一部以幽默轻松的方式介绍葡萄酒入门知识的纪录片。David  Kennard希望借助《在勃艮第的一年》“展示一个独具匠心的酿酒师的内心与灵魂”。
　　
　　影片邀请了美国勃艮第进口商Martine  Saunier作为顾问，她可以轻易接触到Bize-Leroy等明星酿造师。Kennard说：“Lalou  Bize-Leroy是一个完美主义者，她要求所有事都按照她的意愿完成。她在影片中给出了非常精彩的评论。”
　　
　　导演表示，他不会追随著名的反葡萄酒全球化纪录片《美酒家族（Mondovino）》的脚步。“和《美酒家族》正好相反，我在影片里没有强加我想传达的信息。《在勃艮第的一年》比较像2004年的葡萄酒浪漫喜剧片《杯酒人生》，只不过我是个纯粹的观察者。”
　　
　　《在勃艮第的一年》暂行剪辑版于7月份在美国俄勒冈州的国际黑比诺庆典上映，《洛杉矶周刊》称其拍摄的镜头“奢华美丽”。
　　
　　影片由某投资银行家赞助，他已经同意继续拍摄《在香槟的一年》。Kennard表示，他计划借助首部的成功，将其拍成系列影片。
