There exists in the annals of world history a monumental event, etched in tragedy and shrouded in mystery, that has been hidden by whims of historical circumstance. On May 29, 1914, the CPR ocean liner Empress of Ireland sank off the coast of Quebec, killing 1012 people. Even though it still stands as one of the world's greatest maritime disasters, it is not a widely known event because it was buried between the sinking of the Titanic and the start of WWI - and it's submerged in controversy.
Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of highly toxic materials lie scattered on ocean floors - in barrels that are rusting away and releasing their lethal contents. While we worry about weapons of mass destruction in the hands of rogue states, the West's legacy may prove far more dangerous. During the Second World War, Canada produced more chemical weapons than any other of the Allies. After the war, and during the Cold War era, massive weapons stockpiles were simply dumped into the ocean by the United States, Britain, Canada, the Soviet Union and Germany. They were considered buried and done with forever. Information about known dumps was either mishandled or suppressed. This documentary takes us on a journey to discover some of the most dangerous dump sites. The oceans are vast and finding weapons lying underwater will prove difficult. However, the health of marine species and coastal communities is at risk. Buried at Sea takes viewers on an underwater search and weaves the stories of people around the world whose lives have been affected by these chemical weapons.

During the 1970's, a prominent Vancouver high school initiated Quest, a one semester outdoor education program. But for teacher Tom Ellison, Quest was more than just an outdoor program. It was an opportunity to conduct his own private brand of sex education with a continuing supply of female students. For many Quest students, massages, skinny-dipping, and sexually charged comments from teachers were simply the expected. Many students were ferociously devoted to the charismatic teacher, so Tom had his pick of girls to experience their first "love" with him. For other teachers in the school and for parents, the rumours about Quest and its three male leaders were better left alone. School of Secrets is a story of self-redemption for those women, who after years of tormented silence, decided to come forward. This riveting documentary traces the outcome of the complaints filed to the Vancouver Sex Crimes Unit and the investigation that brought Ellison to trial in the fall of 2006. It also delves into the cautionary implications for the parents, the school and the community that turned a deaf ear to the rumours.
This week, we look at fascinating, complex China through the eyes of the always outspoken and penetrating writer, Jan Wong, whose life has been intertwined with that country's history since the 1970's. She talks about her search there for a woman she denounced thirty years ago when she was a Maoist and her discovery of a new China that is rich, powerful, and increasingly ambitious about its global role.
For three years, filmmakers Jean-Michel Carré and Jill Emery interviewed dozens of people to gain insight into the life and political motivations of Russia's most powerful politician, Vladimir Putin. They spoke to long-time supporters, like Putin's former schoolteacher, Vera Gurvich, to his harshest critics, like world chess champion Garry Kasparov, as well as many KGB and Kremlin insiders. What emerged is a point-of-view documentary that presents an ominous view of what Putin is willing to do to ensure Russia regains its position on the world stage. A backroom bureaucrat in the KGB, Putin waited patiently and played by all the rules of the game in order to gain power. According to The Putin System, Putin succeeded in framing the general prosecutor, who had pried into former Russian president Boris Yeltsin's business affairs, and in 2000, Yeltsin himself named Putin as successor to the presidency. The Putin System chronicles the remarkable life of Putin, a tough, young leader who is not afraid to make harsh decisions and holds a secret purpose-to restore the old Russia of his dreams. Since March 2000, he has orchestrated a new system: Putin turned against the oligarchy that supported him, and turned their wealth into state-run corporations designed to finance his dream of a new Soviet empire. He also re-ignited the war in Chechnya in the name of Russian sovereignty, and launched a crackdown on political opposition. In the filmmakers' view, today, the former KGB agent is more powerful than ever before, and any opponents to Putin's system are seen as the enemy.
Special documentary look at how pop culture's 'new dark continent,' video games, are changing the world. Originally Aired in two parts.
There are 2.1 billion Christians on the planet - roughly one third of the entire human population. At the heart of their religion is the New Testament and the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. To Christianity, the written word is the glue that binds the faith of its followers. So, what if it could be proven that Jesus never existed? What if there was evidence that every word of the New Testament - the cornerstone of Christianity - is based on myth and metaphor? line-ups Author, Tom Harpur Based on Tom Harpur's national bestseller, The Pagan Christ examines these very questions. During his research, Harpur discovered that the New Testament is wholly based on Egyptian mythology, that Jesus Christ never lived, and that - indeed - the text was always meant to be read allegorically. It was the founders of the Church who duped the world into taking a literal approach to the scriptures. And, according to Harpur, this was their fatal error - and the very reason Christianity is struggling today. The mission of The Pagan Christ is not to accelerate Christianity's slow demise, but to breathe new life into its holy book and, in the process, bring the world a richer, more spiritual faith.

CannaBiz unfolds in Grand Forks, BC, an eccentric border town nestled in the secluded Kootenay Mountains, where draft dodgers and hippies planted the first "BC Bud" in the 1960s. Marijuana growers here, and in other towns across Canada, are now at a dangerous crossroads between crime and commerce, battling for a share of profits from an industry worth a staggering $20 billion dollars. The one-time code of the marijuana industry - No guns. No coke. - has changed. Brian Taylor, Grand Forks' "marijuana mayor" and Sam Mellace, an ex con and grower, petition for legalized medical marijuana as an answer to the fallout from the escalating violence, while law enforcement officers like RCMP constable Harland Venema continue to fight an increasingly futile war against drugs. With inside access to growers, gangsters and police, CannaBiz untangles the inner workings of the exploding marijuana business and raises serious questions about Canada's drug laws.
Tiger Woods: The Rise and Fall tells the story of the world's most extraordinary celebrity sex scandal, talking for the first time to the key players behind the scenes: the girls; the 'Tiger Team' insiders; and the people who brought him down. In a global TV first, the revelation of Tiger's alleged secret child is broken by the reporter who first broke the scandal. And also for the first time, Michelle Braun (pictured above with director Jacques Peretti), the Hollywood madam who supplied Tiger's girls, reveals the secret sex life of Tiger, including the money he spent and his special requests. Waitress Mindy Lawton reveals details of her year long affair with Tiger, as well as how the affairs were covered up by behind the scenes deals. She has never been interviewed on camera, and the weird, explicit revelations of how they were eventually caught have never been related before. Porn actress and stripper Jocelyn James, who conducted a three year relationship with Tiger, talks about the kind of sex Tiger liked, as well as speaking with candour and feeling about the emotional costs of their affair: how she fell pregnant with Tiger (twice) and the personal price she paid for maintaining the secrecy. This documentary offers an unprecedented glimpse into the billion dollar athlete's secret world, with the people who were there. As well as the girls and madams, the film meets coach Joe Grohman, who made Tiger the man he is on the golf course and reveals Tiger's father Earl's, own infidelities. Elsewhere, Tiger's caddie, Tommy 'Burnt Biscuits', reveals for the first time how Tiger was also trained using army techniques developed in Vietnam (where Earl was stationed) including hypnosis and mind control. This film provides a unique insight into sport's 'golden man', completely altering the perception carefully cultivated by those around him.

A Dialogue to Hope reveals the shared narratives found in individual and collective ideologies of hate, and how we as a species can overcome them. For six years the filmmaker worked with unprecedented access to some of the most venomous ideologies and violent conflicts of our time including the White Supremacist movement, Christian Fundamentalism as an anti-gay platform, Muslim Extremism, the Palestinian Intifada, Israeli Settlers and Soldiers, and US Forces in Iraq. By juxtaposing this verite footage with interviews from leading sociological, psychological, and neurological experts, and interspersing stories of redemption told by former "combatants", the film weaves a tapestry that reveals both the emotional and biological mechanisms which make all of us susceptible to acts and ideologies of hate, and demonstrates how these very same traits make us equally capable of overcoming them.
There's nothing they are leaving untouched: the mustard, the okra, the bringe oil, the rice, the cauliflower. Once they have established the norm: that seed can be owned as their property, royalties can be collected. We will depend on them for every seed we grow of every crop we grow. If they control seed, they control food, they know it – it's strategic. It's more powerful than bombs. It's more powerful than guns.

In 2007, Nobel Prize winning US scientist James Watson was quoted referring to research suggesting that black people were less intelligent than other races. His comments caused a storm of controversy, Watson was condemned. Although he apologised for the offence he caused, his public engagements were cancelled and he left his British speaking tour in disgrace. Meanwhile, right wing websites hailed him as the new Galileo - a martyr to political correctness that was concealing the fact that there is indeed evidence that shows different races score differently in IQ tests. But are the tests biased? Is race really a scientific category at all? In this documentary, part of the season Race: Science's Last Taboo, Rageh Omaar sets out to find out the truth, meeting scientists who believe the research supports the view that races can be differentiated as well as those who vehemently oppose this view. By daring to ask the difficult questions, Omaar is able to explode the myths about race and IQ and reveal what he thinks are important lessons for society.

Is it possible to find love in Thailand? Many westerners go looking, but Ted discovers that money can't buy everything and gets "lost in Thailand". Ted Rees is a middle-aged British salesman. Back home, young attractive women are, in his words, “priced out of my market.” But when he travels to Thailand, he’s free to enjoy the company of the exotic and alluring women who work in the bars of Bangkok. He revels in the freedom he finds in a country where everything is for sale at the right price; including the beautiful young women who want to be with him. When he meets Tip, a ‘bar’ worker, she’s kind, helpful, attentive, and most importantly, in need of him. A pretty and petite single mom in her thirties, she helps him with his import business by buying cheap Thai goods. Ted returns to the UK, but stays in contact with Tip, sending her money so she can give up her bar job and return to her family’s farm in her village. After a few months, at Tip’s request, Ted returns to Thailand and marries her. In northeast Thailand marriage to foreign men seeking love and sex has become an industry. Tip is from the northeastern Issan region, the poorest part of Thailand. Like many Issan women, Tip is uneducated and could never earn enough to own her house or educate her child. She hates the thought of her daughter growing up to be involved in prostitution. When she meets Ted, she thinks she has finally found a foreigner who will take care of her and her daughter. Ted sells everything he owns and the two start a life in Tip’s village. Ted finances a pig farm and builds them a house - but since Thai property laws restrict foreign ownership, everything is in Tip’s name. Ted soon discovers there are many other foreign men who have married and settled in northeast Thailand. John, an Australian, says that there are about 90 foreigners living within a five-kilometre radius and that new foreigners arrive every week. For many Thai women, marriage to a forei

Sickened after visiting severely disfigured children who were born from parents and or grandparents that were exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam, director Andrew Nisker wanted to so desperately help bring an ending to the senseless suffering. Without prior knowledge, he then discovered that it wasn’t only the people of Vietnam who were suffering but also those who worked with Agent Orange domestically to defoliate hydro lines clear cuts, roadside culverts, railway corridors and even those who bought it at their local hardware store to control weeds in their gardens. The potential exposure to the general population during years that Agent Orange was used domestically was enormous and frightening.
Once upon a time, in almost every industrial city, countless rivers flowed. Our roads hugged their curves, and their currents fed our mills and factories. But as cities grew, we polluted rivers so much that they became conduits for deadly waterborne diseases like cholera. Our solution two centuries ago was to bury rivers underground and merge them with sewer networks. Today, under the city, they still flow, out of sight and out of mind . . . until now. Lost Rivers takes us on an adventure down below and across the globe, retracing the history of these lost urban rivers by plunging into archival maps and going underground with clandestine urban explorers. We search for the disappeared Petite rivière St-Pierre in Montreal, the Garrison Creek in Toronto, the River Tyburn in London, the Saw Mill River in New York, and the Bova-Celato River in Bresica, Italy.
Journalism in times of war has become an increasingly lethal and traumatic endeavor for the men and women who face constant threats to their lives and psyches. With the death toll skyrocketing from only two reporters killed in World War I to almost a journalist a week being killed in the last two decades, UNDER FIRE weaves together portraits, battlefield accounts and combat footage to reveal what the reporters see, think and feel. Martyn Burke, documentary filmmaker whose work has brought him to battlefields around the world, and Anthony Feinstein, the psychiatrist who works with journalists to heal the trauma, delve into the experiences of top tier correspondents from AP, New York Times, BBC, and LA Times, among others, bringing a unique understanding and insight into the psychological cost of covering war.
Imagine being able to watch as Edison turned on the first light bulb, or as Franklin received his first jolt of electricity. For the first time, a film gives audiences a front row seat to a significant and inspiring scientific breakthrough as it happens. Particle Fever follows six brilliant scientists during the launch of the Large Hadron Collider, marking the start-up of the biggest and most expensive experiment in the history of the planet, pushing the edge of human innovation. As they seek to unravel the mysteries of the universe, 10,000 scientists from over 100 countries joined forces in pursuit of a single goal: to recreate conditions that existed just moments after the Big Bang and find the Higgs boson, potentially explaining the origin of all matter. But our heroes confront an even bigger challenge: have we reached our limit in understanding why we exist? Directed by Mark Levinson, a physicist turned filmmaker, and masterfully edited by Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now, The English Patient), Particle Fever is a celebration of discovery, revealing the very human stories behind this epic machine.

The Nature Of Things - My Brain Made Me Do It We’ve all heard people say, ‘It was beyond my control’ or ‘I couldn’t stop myself’. We like to think that we’re all ultimately in control of our actions. But how true is this really? Neuroscientists are generating ground breaking research that sheds light on why some people can’t stop themselves from committing harmful or criminal acts. This is creating new challenges for the justice system and making us re-evaluate the way we sentence, punish, and rehabilitate people for criminal behaviour. Featuring lead scientist, David Eagleman, Director of the Center for Science and Law, and author of international best-selling books, Incognito and The Brain, My Brain Made Me Do It challenges our most fundamental beliefs about crime, punishment, and free will.
One hundred years ago, on July 1st, 1916, the Newfoundland Regiment took part in a massive First World War offensive on the Somme, led by the British to liberate France and Belgium from the claws of the Germans. Some 800 soldiers from the Regiment went over the top that morning, near Beaumont-Hamel in France. The following day only 68 were able to answer roll call. Because of that battle, nothing about Newfoundland would ever be the same.

Their contribution to humanity is enormous, unique and exceedingly difficult to explain. From Moses to Maimonides, to Mahler, Marx, Freud, Einstein and some 197 Nobel Prize laureates, the stunning social, scientific and artistic accomplishments of the Jews raise an obvious question. How do they do it? The story of huge overrepresentation at the top is the same wherever you look. How does 1/500th of the world’s population produce so many prominent musicians, architects, lawyers, doctors, journalists, comedians and directors? A third of the medical faculty at Harvard is Jewish, as are nearly 40 per cent of history’s world chess champions. In 1954, New York State school tests revealed 28 students with IQs over 170. Astonishingly, 24 of them were Jewish. “The numbers are bizarre. They make no sense at all,” says Montreal rabbi Reuben Poupko. For Harvard professor Steven Pinker “Jewish achievement is obvious; only the explanation is unclear.” Calling Jewish success “colossal” and “extraordinary,” renowned British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins recently speculated that “something about the cultural tradition of Jews is way, way more sympathetic to science and learning and intellectual pursuits.” Recent writings focus on wildly speculative hypotheses. Some suggest that Jews have been winnowed for success by pogrom and Holocaust. Others posit that Jews developed their minds in challenging professions after abandoning agriculture in the first Millenium. Still, others see a link between Ashkenazi genetic disorders and high intelligence. Jewish genius remains a giant elephant in the room, today. “Jewish intellectual superiority is rarely if ever discussed in Jewish publications,” writes author Lewis Regenstein. “To some, these facts are awkward and even embarrassing, feeding stereotypes of 'crafty' Jews good at making money and flaunting their superiority to non-Jews. ”A good reason not to make the film? Perhaps. Bu
