Documentary
Explore the magic and science of cinema. In each episode, Vsauce3’s Jake Roper takes you on an immersive journey into the world of a different movie; blending unscripted scientific exploration with narrative storytelling.
Jake steps into the film “Back to the Future” to find out if you could survive the massive pressure wave generated by a giant guitar amp, time travel paradoxes, and the electricity from a lightning bolt travelling through your body…all while desperately trying to get back to the future!
Donning his black suit, Jake finds out if you could survive being swallowed by a gargantuan alien insect, the kickback of an alien gun, and the immense power and consequences generated by condensing a universe into a very small volume…as he attempts to save Earth from complete destruction.
Jake ain’t afraid of no ghost (but he actually is) as he finds out if you could survive being crushed by a giant marshmallow creature, wearing a portable nuclear accelerator on your back, and the potential cataclysmic reaction of crossing proton streams…while preventing the end of life as we know it on Earth.
Mysterious forces are at play as Jake gets transported into a crazy video game called CYSTM, a game that asks, could you survive the movies…or in this case could you survive a superhuman punch to the chest, the deadly snake venom…or cake? Jake and his friends must work together to answer these questions if they hope to ever get home again alive!
Shoeless and all alone in a half-built skyscraper, Jake fights his way through a well dressed bad guy while exploring if you could survive jumping off the roof of a skyscraper with only a fire hose tied around your waist, crawling through air ducts to avoid said bad guy, eating a Twinkie, and dropping C4 down an elevator shaft…could you survive Die Hard?
In space no one can hear Jake scream...but as Jake races to destroy a terrifying xenomorph hunting his crew, they’ll learn if you can survive the world’s deadliest acids, how to communicate across the vast distances of space…and why you should never, EVER fire a flamethrower in a spaceship.

What would we be without mucus? Can we live on water? How much does life weigh? Finding out the answers is the aim of ARTE's new science show. In a nod to Douglas Adams's "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", where the figure 42 is the ultimate answer to all questions, 42 tries to provide the answers.
In the year of the presidential elections in the US, journalist Eelco Bosch van Rosenthal and director Hans Pool sketch a portrait of the most activist generation since the 1970s: Generation Z. However, the freedom they demand collides with other freedoms, and nowhere does that collision occur as on the surface as in Florida, a state where 'freedom' is rotten in everyone's mouth.
This documentary follows the second-year students of Set 36 at Norland College, a quintessentially British 120-year-old childcare training college in Bath which turns its students into elite 21st century Mary Poppins-style nannies. The programme gives an insight into how contemporary Norland students follow the college's traditions, though the students are also taught more modern disciplines, such as advanced driving skills, how to escape the paparazzi, taking corners at speed in the rain, lifesaving and self-defence. If they successfully finish the 14,000 pounds per year course, a lifetime of employment and travel prospects could be theirs for the taking. Norland Nannies have been sought after by the rich and famous for over a century. Most recently the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hired a Norlander as nanny to Prince George. Founded in 1892 by Emily Ward, the college is renowned for its rigorous rules, traditional uniform, perfect hair and clean white gloves.
Crash Course World History is a video course hosted by John Green that teaches world history from growing the first crops in the First Agricultural Revolution to global textile production in the 2010s. Across the series, it builds skills in identifying and explaining historical developments, analyzing events in broader context, and tracing patterns and connections across time and place—aiming to help viewers become more informed citizens of the world. Season 1 follows the 2012 AP World History curriculum in a 42-episode chronological survey, while Season 2 continues in 30 episodes with a more thematic approach that focuses on systems and encourages viewers to question how “history” is written and what biases shape it.
Over six episodes, Maisonneuve looks at the repercussions flowing from the arrest of 11 students at Montreal’s Collège de Maisonneuve as they prepared to join the ranks of the Islamic State in Syria.

Through their eyes, Maisonneuve highlights both the importance and the fragility of living together in harmony in Quebec.
