The climate crisis isn't a distant threat — it's already here, and it's deadly. But keeping people cool is surprisingly complicated.

---

In Sydney, Australia, physiologist Ollie Jay is tackling the problem by studying how the human body responds to extreme heat. The ultimate goal is to create low-cost cooling strategies for people without access to air conditioning — those most at risk from extreme heat. Science journalist Miles O'Brien puts himself in the hot seat — literally — to find out what it feels like when the body's cooling system starts to fail.

Thwaites Glacier is melting faster than any glacier on Earth, and its collapse could raise global sea levels by feet, not inches. Miles O’Brien sails to Antarctica aboard a Korean icebreaker with scientists drilling through 3,000 feet of ice to reach the water below and explore a radical idea: an underwater curtain that might buy the world some time before the “Doomsday Glacier” gives way.

Crime and Punishment in America is a four-part series, directed by Lynn Novick, that tells the story of criminal justice in America from the colonial era to today, and explores how for more than 250 years, Americans have wrestled with the problem of crime, the purpose of punishment and the meaning of justice. Executive produced by Ken Burns and Sam Pollard. Narrated by Keith David.

---

To address the problem of crime in their new nation, Americans developed a new system of punishment. Instead of being whipped, shamed, or executed in the public square, which was thought of as ineffective and cruel, people who broke the law would be locked away in prisons and penitentiaries, where they were expected to repent, and return to society reformed.

---

A sweeping look at the American criminal justice system, from the origins of prisons and policing to our continued fascination with crime, the film traces the contours of our imperfect system and how it influences nearly all parts of our society: the media, economics and politics. Through the voices and testimony of those who have committed crimes, experienced incarceration, enforced the law, or lost loved ones to violence, the series explores the cost of America’s choices and the enduring tension between crime and punishment, vengeance and mercy, justice and redemption.

Capturing America - The Carol Highsmith Story

---

For more than 40 years, Carol Highsmith wakes up every single day with one mission: to document every nook and cranny of the United States, from its majestic mountains and quirky roadside attractions to its most unforgettable characters, known and unknown.

Comedian Adam Conover has never touched acrylic paint before, and he has a lot of feelings about it. Between brushstrokes, Adam tells a third-grade art class story he's never shared publicly, and explains why it took until his 40s for him to make art that is just for himself.

Miles O’Brien travels from a Wyoming ranch to a Minnesota lab tracing the rebound of these industrious rodents. Rancher Tom Chant is a “beaver believer” after seeing his dry and dusty creek turn lush once beaver dams moved in, proving nature’s original engineers may be the West’s best hope against drought.

Eons: Life and Death on Pangea

---

Set during the Permian Period, hundreds of millions of years ago, EONS: LIFE AND DEATH ON PANGEA transports viewers to a world shaped by the supercontinent Pangea, extreme climate shifts, and ecosystems unlike anything seen today. From mega-monsoons and vast deserts to giant terrestrial animals, bizarre marine life, and massive volcanic eruptions, the series traces how Earth reached the brink of ecological collapse, and how life ultimately recovered. The “Great Dying” remains one of the most dramatic examples of how environmental change can reshape life on Earth.
