Twisted Histories: Moon Landing

Beginning in the middle of the Civil war when German aristocrat, Count Von Zeppelin, meets President Lincoln and is given permission to visit the front line of the Civil War where he encounters hydrogen balloons and is inspired to design the airship, which he gives his name to.
Growing Pains of a Teenage Genius
In a lot of ways 13-year-old Cameron Thompson is a normal teenage boy – obsessed with computer games, sporting the first hints of a moustache and a newfound interest in girls. But he is also a maths genius who is currently doing an Open University degree in applied mathematics and it is this ability that has singled him out. That, and an intense social awkwardness his parents put down to his Asperger’s Syndrome.
This documentary looks at if Cameron can balance the need to remain the genius he has always been – and therefore different – with the classic teenage longing to be accepted.
Twisted History: Mafia Vs KKK
This documentary retells the amazing story of the hidden war between two of the United States most violent groups – the Mafia and the Ku Klux Klan.
What Happens in Kavos
In this documentary series, we follow young thrill-seeking Brits for a long summer in Kavos, Corfu, to get an uncompromising look at what really happens in this hedonistic party resort – away from their parents, surrounded by temptation.
