But before long there are some signs of activity, and a few early risers are to be seen on the streets. Soon the new day is well underway. It's just a typical day in Berlin, but a day full of life and energy.

Неожиданный и неоднозначный взгляд на историю развития цивилизации. Программа раскрывает огромный риск, которому подвергает себя человечество, когда использует современное программное обеспечение в применении к примитивному древнему «компьютеру», коим является наш мозг, практически не изменившийся за 50 тысяч лет. Мы отправимся в грандиозное путешествие, чтобы проследить свой путь от обитателя пещер до покорителя космоса. Рональд Райт - автор бестселлера «Краткая история прогресса», положенного в основу фильма – демонстрирует, с какой регулярностью человечество наступает на грабли прогресса: придумав технологию для сегодняшней потребности, оно завтра же вынуждено расплачиваться за содеянное. В фильм вошли поучительные сюжеты о китайском автомобильном клубе, об акулах большого бизнеса с Уолл-стрит и экологической полиции, которая пытается спасти леса в бассейне Амазонки. Современной цивилизации грозит гибель от чрезмерного потребления, а другой планеты в запасе у нас нет.

The faces of a 5:00 PM crowd descending via the Pan Am building escalators in one continuous shot. In old-fashioned black and white, these faces stare into the empty space, in the 5:00 PM tiredness and mechanical impersonality, like faces from the grave.

Одной из главных опасностей глобального потепления чаще всего называют таяние полярных льдов — из-за этого поднимается уровень мирового океана, тонут целые страны и фатально для человека изменяется погода. Фотограф из журнала National Geographic Джеймс Балог не верил в глобальное потепление, пока по заданию редакции не съездил в Арктику и не увидел своими глазами его последствия. Позже Балог сам собрал экспедицию для исследования арктических льдов и Гренландии. Он разработал специальное оборудование и камеры, которые позволяют отследить изменения ледников на протяжении нескольких лет. Несмотря на трудности, фотографу удалось собрать зловещие, но ужасно красивые доказательства глобального потепления — исчезновение тысячелетнего льда.

It is the largest movement the world has ever seen, it may also be the most important - in terms of what's at stake. Yet it's not east being green. Environmentalists have been reviled as much as revered, for being killjoys and Cassandras. Every battle begins as a lost cause and even the victories have to be fought for again and again. Still, environmentalism is one of the great social innovations of the twentieth century, and one of the keys to the twenty-first. It has arisen at a key juncture in history, when humans have come to rival nature as a power determining the fate of the earth.

Morning reveals New York harbor, the wharves, the Brooklyn Bridge. A ferry boat docks, disgorging its huddled mass. People move briskly along Wall St. or stroll more languorously through a cemetery. Ranks of skyscrapers extrude columns of smoke and steam. In plain view. Or framed, as through a balustrade. A crane promotes the city's upward progress, as an ironworker balances on a high beam. A locomotive in a railway yard prepares to depart, while an arriving ocean liner jostles with attentive tugboats. Fading sunlight is reflected in the waters of the harbor. The imagery is interspersed with quotations from Walt Whitman, who is left unnamed.
