Synopsis
Executions: The Rise and Fall of Capital Punishment
From ancient practices such as death by a thousand cuts and hanging, drawing and quartering to the modern scientific era of lethal injection, we ask the question: do the most horrific crimes deserve the most horrific of punishments?
Planet of the Birds
From the North Pole to remote islands, birds can live almost anywhere. How do these resilient animals thrive in such different environments? They have become hardy and versatile through their bodies, feathers, movements, and songs. In this global birding tour, we learn about these nomads of the sky.
