Plant Explorer Richard Evans Schultes was a real life Indiana Jones whose discoveries of hallucinogenic plants laid the foundation for the psychedelic sixties. Now in this two hour History Channel TV Special, his former student Wade Davis, follows in his footsteps to experience the discoveries that Schultes brought to the western world. Shot around the planet, from Canada to the Amazon, we experience rarely seen native hallucinogenic ceremonies and find out the true events leading up to the Psychedelic Sixties. Featuring author/adventurer Wade Davis ("Serpent and the Rainbow"), Dr. Andrew Weil, the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir and many others, this program tells the story of the discovery of peyote, magic mushrooms and beyond: one man's little known quest to classify the Plants of the Gods. Richard Evans Schultes revolutionized science and spawned another revolution he never imagined.
Noite de 23 de junho de 1944. O comandante aliado Jesse Taylor circula em um avião-torpedo sobre o meio-Atlântico, cerca de 1.500 quilômetros a sudoeste das ilhas Açôres. Ele segue os movimentos do submarino cargueiro japonês conhecido como I-52. Maior que um campo de futebol e carregando mais de duas toneladas de ouro, o I-52 ruma à França ocupada pela Alemanha. Mas os Aliados descobrem suas coordenadas e lançam um único torpedo. Os japoneses afundam. Perdido nas profundezas do oceano, a localização exata do submarino manteve-se um mistério por mais de meio século. Mas a perseverança do pesquisador Paul Tidwell levou à descoberta do submarino afundado. Assim como "Segredos do Titanic" e outros programas da NG, esta é a história de um grande mistério esclarecido. O filme combina a emoção de uma expedição subaquática altamente tecnológica à atração que é explorar um verdadeiro tesouro, além do fascínio da descoberta dos instigantes segredos dos "hackers" da 2a. Guerra Mundial.
Psychotic Angela is itching to do what she does best: slaughter dozens of teenage campers. As luck would have it, the previous site of her murders has been renamed and converted into an experimental summer camp meant to bring together privileged and lower-class teens. On the day the youths are boarding the buses to camp, Angela runs over a potential camper with a garbage truck and assumes her identity. Once she has infiltrated the camp, the real terror begins.
Angela Baker escapes from a mental hospital and surfaces at a summer camp as a counselor who lectures her teenage charges on proper moral behavior. Those teens who break her strict rules -- from the camp chatterbox or a sex-obsessed girl to the boys who are peeping Toms -- are murdered by the impostor in various gruesome ways. As more campers go missing, intrepid counselor Molly begins to piece together the truth.
