This is the story of the incredible two-month salvage operation that followed. A team of experts raced against time and the elements to refloat the massive wreck and execute a high-tech lift using a unique semi-submersible ship, preventing a major environmental disaster in one of Britain's most remote landscapes.

Years after the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster, travel through Fukushima’s scarred communities and examine why the region’s population remains dramatically reduced.

At the meeting point of central Europe and the Italian border lies Lake Iseo, a wild alpine paradise home to ancient secrets and modern struggles. This documentary travels from the cold, deep waters of Italy's sixth largest lake to the high peaks of the Alps, capturing the delicate relationship between humanity and the natural world. Along the shores, conservationists fight to protect migratory songbirds from illegal poachers, while local olive farmers face unprecedented crop losses due to rapidly changing winter temperatures. Experience the beauty of the steep pyramid canyons, the industrial fires of a lakeside steel plant, and the quiet resilience of the communities striving to preserve these historic alpine waters for generations to come.

At the center of our planet, the equatorial sun drives a cycle of extreme transformation that splits the Amazon into two entirely different worlds. For half the year, heavy rains and melting snow from the Andes Mountains overwhelm the flat terrain, submerging hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of rainforest under fifteen meters of water. This creates a strange, beautiful liquid realm where monkeys and fish compete for the same forest canopy harvest, arowanas leap into the air to hunt tree-dwelling insects, and giant river wolves take over the hunting grounds of the jaguar. But as the floodwaters recede, the ultimate test of survival begins. The long, brutal dry season turns paradise into isolated, stagnant death pools stripped of oxygen. To survive this period of absolute famine, the wild residents must rely on bizarre evolutionary tactics. The massive pirarucu uses an ancient lung-like organ to breathe air directly from the atmosphere, while the heavy-eating tambaki fish and giant manatees must slow down and live entirely off the fat reserves they accumulated during the times of plenty.
