About Miami: A nursing home for rich party lovers | "Golden Age" - Documentary, 2019

The Palace in Miami is the last home of party-loving seniors and a thriving business. The owners of the company put it in a nutshell when they say: Old and sick always will be. This is the best business to be in. The documentary "Golden Age" explores the everyday life in this buzzing senior living community with its very own and contemporary understanding of retirement: Loud, extravagant and glamorous. But even the fanciest parties, the sparkling interiors and the finest buffets can not disguise the daily struggles of aging. Its tough to leave home, to feel the body getting weaker and to miss the spouse who has passed away. As a whole, the demanding residents and the well-trained staff of The Palace try their best to turn the final phase of life into an exciting one. Loud parties and glamour line up in an existential contest against loneliness, slackening limbs and weariness. Original title: Golden Age A film by Beat Oswald © 2019, Licensed by First Hand Films

Oil: The Race for the Last Reserves | The Struggle for Oil - Geological Deceptions (Full Film)

How much oil is left - and what happens when the world’s most important energy source becomes harder, riskier and more expensive to extract? This compelling energy documentary investigates the global dependence on crude oil, the theory of peak oil and the environmental dangers of deep-sea drilling. Beginning with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, it examines how technological failures, financial pressure and difficult drilling conditions contributed to one of the worst oil spills in history. Travel from oil fields in Austria and Saudi Arabia to research centres in Europe, Canadian oil sands and offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists, geologists, engineers and industry experts reveal how oil is formed, how new reserves are discovered and why many of the world’s largest oil fields may be declining. The documentary also explores enhanced oil recovery, horizontal drilling, water injection, polymer technology, Arctic exploration and the enormous financial and environmental costs of extracting unconventional oil.

What Was A 1970s Record Shop Like? | Turn Back Time: The High Street

In this episode, it's the end of the journey for the shopkeepers and their customers as they move into the 1970s. There are two new arrivals, the Sandher family take over the general store and David Lashmar has the challenge of selling vinyl to 21st century shoppers from his 1970s record shop. Amidst the explosion of popular culture the supermarket reminds everyone of the part the 1970s played in our quest for cheap food and convenient shopping. At the cornershop the Sandher kids find out just how hard their dad worked when his family left India to set up shop in Britain and they are shocked to hear his memories of the 1970s. The record shop treats the town to a Eurovision winning band performance and all the traders prepare for a Silver Jubilee street party. The town has experienced one hundred years of high street history, but will power cuts, the 1970s shopping experience and the Great British weather dampen the community spirit that has built up over the years?

Can You Trust Your Senses? The Science of Perception | Myth or Science (5/6)

What if everything we see, hear, taste, smell, and feel is less reliable than we think? In this documentary, Jennifer Gardy meets scientists using playful, bizarre, and revealing experiments to uncover how the brain builds our perception of reality. As illusions, taste tests, smell trials, touch experiments, and sound tricks expose the hidden links between the senses, the film shows that our experience of the world is not created by one sense at a time, but by a powerful multisensory system that can protect us, mislead us, and even make us feel things that are not really there. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - How Our Senses Create Reality ▷ 01:47 - Seeing Is Believing? ▷ 05:35 - The Truth About Colour ▷ 07:07 - Tasting With Our Eyes ▷ 10:27 - Can Sound Change Taste? ▷ 14:10 - Can We Smell Danger? ▷ 20:02 - Nose Blindness and Bad Smells ▷ 21:24 - Do Names Change What We Smell? ▷ 26:39 - The Rubber Hand Illusion ▷ 32:45 - Can Seeing Make Us Itch? ▷ 37:19 - Can We Trust
