NEW SPECIALS
AN EVENING WITH THE NEW CENTURIONS (1X90)
Saturday, April 17 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT
Hosted by Severn and Sarika Cullis-Suzuki, this documentary features an exciting group of young personalities from the “Y generation” selling their vision for the future of our planet. Watch as the new centurions debate about our global future with other generations and discuss their world – the one they’re taking over – and how they’re going to fix it.
ARCTIC CIRCLE (2X60)
Wednesday, April 21 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT
Climate change is hitting the Arctic harder and faster than any other region on Earth. Although the North may seem remote from the population centres of the world, this is where the impact of human activity – sensitive ecosystems forever altered by climate change – is felt the most. In some of the world’s most desolate and stunning locations, ARCTIC CIRCLE marries dramatic footage with hard science and striking computer graphics to tell the story of climate change as nobody has seen it before.
