Rocket City Rednecks<br />
Factual Series 20 x 30’<br />
Selection Fall|Winter 2012<br />
Huntsville, Alabama, is also called “Rocket City” and is home to the<br />
“Rocket City Rednecks” – a group of real-life redneck geniuses who<br />
apply backwoods know-how to big questions in science, technology<br />
and engineering.<br />
Travis Taylor, the ringleader of the “Rocket City Rednecks”, has a PhD in<br />
engineering and Top Secret clearance with the U. S. government. Besides<br />
being typical Deep South, Huntsville is also the home of the U. S. Space<br />
and Rocket Center, where NASA began in the 1950s. When NASA, the<br />
Department of Defense, or private industry needs someone to solve a big<br />
scientific problem, Travis is their man. Joining him is a group of backwater<br />
Einsteins like Rog, a guy with a genius IQ of 160; Pete, an optical scientist<br />
who designs satellites at the U. S. Space and Rocket Center; and Travis’<br />
dad Charles, one of NASA’s original engineers.<br />

Invisible Universe<br />
HD<br />
Science + Knowledge<br />
Science, technology and adventure are compellingly brought together in<br />
this two-part journey into the world of the invisible. In Part I, “In the Blink<br />
of an Eye”, we look through the lens of the latest high-speed cameras to<br />
see movements that are many thousands of times faster than our eyes<br />
can normally register. When filming at up to 300,000 frames a second, we<br />
can follow the path of a projectile with the naked eye. In Part II, “Hidden<br />
Revelations”, a hair-raising ride on a rollercoaster or alongside camera<br />
drones in extra-slow motion lets us experience the magic of speed and the<br />
limitations of human vision.<br />
In both episodes, the movements of top athletes and extremely rapid<br />
animals are slowed down to show their details, while scientists explain<br />
the secrets of these speed talents by using special cameras, gripping<br />
experiments and extraordinary images.<br />

Current Affairs + Social Issues<br />
HD<br />
Selection Fall|Winter 2012<br />
This one-off investigative documentary uncovers the tragic story of an<br />
entire town in the Ukraine doomed to deal with the dreadful consequences<br />
of living near a uranium mine and processing plant. In the 1950s, high<br />
concentrations of uranium were discovered here and the sleepy village<br />
soon became a neat elite town with a difference: it was a secret. Its<br />
inhabitants led privileged lives, but now the mine is closed and they have<br />
to deal with the shocking fall-out: The town’s streets, the ground, water<br />
and even the air is toxic. All of it has been dangerously contaminated<br />
with radiation and is shot through with lethal ‘hot particles’. Virtually<br />
all of the residents are sick. It is as shocking a story as it is personal,<br />
gripping and emotional.<br />
The facts are cemented by experts while witnesses tell their own<br />
dramatic stories. Their frank and honest accounts underline the gravity<br />
of the situation and the hushed-up reality of living in a doomed town.<br />

Two men make their way through a deserted village on the edge of the<br />

for evidence. The men are Kenzo Hashimoto and Yevgen Goncharenko, two<br />
environmental activists fighting for clarification on the hot topic of nuclear<br />
power. And there are others like them: Greg Mello and his wife Trish<br />
have been on the trail of dubious activities at the Los Alamos National<br />
Laboratory in New Mexico for the last 20 years. And in Palomares on the<br />
Spanish coast, journalist José Herrera Plaza is investigating the long-term<br />
effects of a nuclear accident in 1966. These ‘radioactive detectives’<br />
voluntarily expose themselves to serious danger in pursuit of evidence.<br />
They want to uncover the hard facts in the elaborate web of truths,<br />
half-truths and lies woven around this hotly debated topic.<br />
Gripping, sometimes shocking and always enlightening, this two-part<br />
documentary is a must-see investigation into one of the most topical and<br />
pressing issues of our time.<br />

Inside the Vatican<br />
Portraying everyday life inside the<br />
Vatican has been practically impossible<br />
up to now. But in this lighthearted twopart<br />
documentary, viewers are taken on<br />

walls of the tiniest state on earth. From<br />
the kitchens to the workshops, from<br />
the Vatican’s fire department to its very<br />
own farm, the filmmakers capture the<br />
industriousness and cheer of those who<br />
work behind the scenes to keep Vatican<br />
City running smoothly.<br />

“Hard Time” is an exclusive, ground-breaking factual series that goes<br />
behind the scenes of U. S. maximum-security prisons and immerses<br />
viewers into the brutal reality of life inside. Prisoners, guards, wardens,<br />
families – these are stories of despair and hope, truth and consequence.<br />

where respect is hard-won, violence is a constant threat and redemption<br />
an elusive quest. “It’s World War III, we’re fighting it every day”, says a<br />
world-weary prison guard in Season III, which takes us to two notorious<br />
Georgia State Prisons, one of which is for women only.<br />

In Alaska, where lawlessness is practically a way of life and 90 percent<br />

in the state. And finding criminals in this vast wasteland is often like<br />
looking for a needle in a haystack. Yet this is the daily task of the<br />

on “extreme” fishing in Alaska. The adventure begins at Naknek River,<br />

to haul in the most fish. We then go fishing in deep water for halibut and<br />

“The Fall” is the first investigative series toplining Gillian Anderson<br />
since her career-making turn as Agent Scully in “The X Files”. The<br />
Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award winner brings to<br />
her role the same intelligence and depth of character that won her<br />
millions of fans across the globe.<br />
The five-part miniseries follows the lives of two hunters: high-powered<br />
Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson and serial killer Paul Spector,<br />
who preys randomly on people in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Brought in<br />
as an outsider to run the team, Stella feels a certain hostility, but she<br />
knows the psychology of serial killers – and where to look for them.<br />
“The Fall” isn’t a whodunit but a will-they-stop him?, since the killer is<br />
known to the audience from the start, and the drama gains in intensity<br />
through the cat-and-mouse game. The case is explored in all its complexity,<br />
and shows how a modern, top-level murder investigation team works<br />
when it comes up against every policeman’s worst nightmare.<br />

Based on the bestselling book by Ferdinand von Schirach, this innovative<br />
miniseries consists of unusual cases inspired by actual crimes. Remarkable<br />
is its new perspective on crime, with the perpetrators, victims and<br />
witnesses all portrayed on equal terms. The lead character in each episode<br />
is defense attorney Leonhardt, who thus links the six stand-alone episodes.<br />
Instead of focusing on the “whodunit” aspect, the cases present the<br />
perpetrator and the crime, then seek to understand how the deed came<br />
to pass. The attorney’s job is to obtain the most lenient sentence for his<br />
client. From murderous numerological rituals to deadly, ancient Japanese<br />
traditions, and from a husband terrorized by his wife to an industrialist<br />
cleared of murder thanks to Daylight Savings Time – the cases take the<br />
viewer down the most unexpected and untrodden paths …<br />

Wolfblood<br />
Selection Fall|Winter 2012<br />
Maddy Smith is an almost normal teen living with her parents in a<br />
small rural town. The “almost” is because she’s a Wolfblood! Neither<br />
completely wolves nor humans, Wolfbloods have great powers – super<br />
speed, strength and senses – and can change from one form to another.<br />
Just as Maddy’s getting ready for her first transformation, a new boy,<br />
Rhydian, starts at her school – and they both instinctively know their<br />
true nature. Rhydian helps Maddy master her first challenge, but after<br />
that, she’s got to learn to control her powers on her own. Rhydian,<br />
meanwhile has to cope with his mother, a “wild” Wolfblood who wants<br />
her son to roam free as a wolf.<br />
For both Maddy and Rhydian, the main question is “As we grow up, how<br />
do we know who we should be?” – a question only they can answer in this<br />

Nobody knows why, but it’s a fact: girls love horses! And in this half-hour<br />
animated series based on characters from the magazine “Wendy” (among<br />
top 5 comics in Germany, published in France, Scandinavia, Benelux),<br />

mix of horse-and-rider adventures, romance and comedy.<br />
Wendy lives at the riding school and stud farm owned and operated<br />
by her dad. Life around the stables is full of gossip, dramas, rivalries<br />
and friendships that, like many dreams, can be shattered by important<br />
riding competitions. Besides horses, Wendy and her friends explore teen<br />
issues with a light touch and a comic flair, and struggle with right and<br />
wrong choices as they navigate the stormy waters of the teen years.<br />

If he looks worried, it’s because he has every reason to be: Figaro Pho has<br />
phobias about practically everything, but most of all, strange and wondrous<br />
phobias that most people never even knew existed! Figaro Pho is an<br />
adorable little fellow who, with each passing day, discovers some alarming<br />
new phobia that has suddenly befallen him. Figaro lives alone in his old<br />
house built on a cliff. And though the house itself is a death trap, the<br />
outside world is even more terrifying. Yet Figaro’s life isn’t a tragedy. He’s a<br />
creative genius, constantly building mechanisms and strategies to combat<br />
his phobias. His imagination is so powerful that an entire adventure can<br />
take place inside his mind the moment he sees something he fears.<br />
A series for the young and not-so-young, “Figaro Pho” shows the<br />
audience how irrational some of its fears are, and takes the edge off<br />
groundless phobias.<br />

Meet Michel – a perfectly ordinary child, except that he’s a little four-eyed,<br />
furry ball of a monster who only speaks in grunts. Yet all his friends and<br />
family consider Michel as normal. He may be a bit … “different” … but<br />
certainly nothing to make a fuss about. So he likes to eat shoes and rare<br />
birds! Wouldn’t we all secretly like to snack on a tasty little Zodalia<br />
Glyceria? Michel’s Mom and Dad think their son is simply marvelous – after<br />
all he has both his father’s and his mother’s eyes. He enhances the lives<br />
of his friends and relatives because he’s different.<br />
