Disc One

On The Brink

We explore in-depth how environmental issues such as deforestation, soil erosion, water depletion, air pollution, surging refugee populations and global climate change threaten the political stability of governments and drive hostilities around the globe. North Korea, Mexico, Haiti and the U.S.

Future Conditional

Toxic pollutants have entered the environment and our bodies at an alarming rate over the past few generations. Now scientists travel to the Arctic Circle, Mexico and the U.S. to document the damage caused by these invisible toxins, many of which are often created thousand of miles away from the unknowing victims.

Disc Two

Seas of Grass

The complexity of the grasslands has always been a vital and fragile part of the global eco-system. Its continuing degradation has resulted in poverty, disease and loss of habitat. Locations include grasslands of Kenya and Patagonia, the pampas of Argentina, the Great Plains of North America and the Mongolian Steppes. 

Hot Zones

With the re-emergence of ancient and infectious diseases like malaria, cholera, and the recent outbreaks of thirty previously unknown diseases, we closely examine the consequences of altering global and local ecosystems. Locations include Kenya, Peru, Bangladesh and the United States.
