This BBC documentary series tells the chilling story behind Auschwitz - the site of the largest mass murder in the history of the world. Few know the true and surprising history of this infamous place, nor how it fitted into the Nazis' overall plan for the mass extermination of the Jews - what they called the 'Final Solution'. The destructive dynamism of Auschwitz became both a microcosm of the Nazi State and the logical consequence of Hitler's warped worldview. Combining rare archive footage, CGI illustrations of the camp never before seen on television and dramatic reconstructions of the key decision-making moments, this series tells the story of Auschwitz and the horrific ideology behind ...

London's National Gallery, one of the world's foremost art institutions, is itself portrayed as a brilliant work of art in this, Frederick Wiseman's 39th documentary and counting. Wiseman listens raptly as a panoply of docents decode the great canvases of Da Vinci, Rembrandt and Turner; he visits with the museum's restorers as they use magnifying glasses, tiny eye-droppers, scalpels and Q-tips to repair an infinitesimal chip; he attends administrative meetings in which senior executives do (polite) battle with younger ones who want the museum to become less stodgy and more welcoming to a larger cross-section of the public. But most of all, we experience the joy of spending time with the a... [more](

In his new film, documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney explores the phenomenon of Stuxnet, a self-replicating computer virus discovered in 2010 by international IT experts. Evidently commissioned by the US and Israeli governments, this malware was designed to specifically sabotage Iran's nuclear programme.
However, the complex computer worm ended up not only infecting its intended target but also spreading uncontrollably. Although to this day officially denied, Stuxnet was created by two allied forces who were each pursuing their own agendas, and in doing so opened up the Pandora's box of cyber warfare.

Diana Vreeland was not just a tastemaker; she created the whole idea of taste making.
She was the oracle of style, a woman who defined the way we looked at couture. Across a career that spanned half a century, she edited Harpers Bazaar and Vogue, discovered Lauren Bacall (and innumerable others) and was style consultant to Jackie Onassis.
This is her philosophy; on life, on fashion and on making it in an industry which so many desire to be part of an so few know how to crack.
