The Most Dangerous Man In America (2009)

Daniel Ellsberg, a high-level Pentagon official and Vietnam War strategist, concludes that the war is based on decades of lies and leaks 7,000 pages of top secret documents to The New York Times, making headlines around the world. Hailed as a hero, vilified as a traitor, and ostracized by even his closest colleagues, Ellsberg risks life in prison to stop a war he helped plan. This story of one man’s profound change of heart is also a piercing look at the world of government secrecy as revealed by the ultimate insider. Marked by a landmark battle between America’s greatest newspapers and its president — that goes to the Supreme Court — this political thriller unravels a saga that leads directly to Watergate, Nixon’s resignation and the end of the Vietnam War.

Jetstream Fighter Pilot School Complete Series

From classroom instruction to flight simulator to mission planning to air-to-ground and air-to-air combat, Jetstream takes you through every step towards becoming one of Canada’s top guns.

Jetstream chronicles the gripping trials of an elite group of Air Force pilots struggling to master one of the world’s most advanced supersonic tactical fighter jets, the $35-million F-18 Hornet. Hand-picked from thousands, seven men and one woman are poised to join the world’s most exclusive fight club. Who will make the cut?
With unprecedented access to an elite training ground, each thrilling episode follows eight future Top Guns through adrenaline-charged missions from ground school to graduation, witnessing their fierce drive and relentless struggles. Real-life Fighter Pilot Instructors keep the rookies in line, building experts out of those who make it through the grueling training and shattering the dreams of those who don’t. Jetstream puts viewers at the throttle of an awesome flying machine, taking them on the ride of a lifetime through the rigorous paces and real life drama of elite Top Gun training. In the process they will learn details of the most advanced aeronautic technology and warfare tactics of our time

1 – The Rookies

First up is ground school, where the students are introduced to the 858 page CF-18 Hornet Flight Manual. The next hurdle is the Human Centrifuge test, an extreme challenge which tests their body’s ability to withstand the punishing G-forces in a fighter jet. The Centrifuge is like an amusement ride on steroids and pilots call it a torture chamber. With their first flights just days away, they need to write their Flight Manual and Red Page exams. A passing grade is 100% on the Red Pages – no margin for error of any kind. But no pressure, right?

2 – Members Only

The students are about to fly the F-18 Hornet for the first time. But even before taking a single flight, one of the rookies calls it quits. In a matter of hours Lt. Dave McLeod gets the call that he has been chosen for the spot. Meanwhile, Air Force tradition dictates that once a pilot goes solo he or she earns a “call sign,” a nickname that symbolizes his or her identity as a Hornet pilot. As the celebration gets underway the rookies anxiously await their new handles.

3 – Blood on the Page

It is summer in Cold Lake, Alberta and the temperature on the tarmac hits 100 degrees. Up higher, under the transparent canopy of the F-18 Hornet, a pilot can feel like a bug pinned under a magnifying glass. The students are about to enter one of the most intense and terrifying stages of the course – formation flying. The art of sticking together. Meanwhile, the Progress Review Board is meeting about one of the trainees whose future as a fighter pilot now hangs in the balance. After eight days, the final verdict is delivered.

4 – Darkness Falls

The students are entering the tactical training phase. This is the time when jet pilots must become jet fighters. A challenging mission finds one rookie’s landing seriously close to claiming three lives. In the fighter world, conformity is the lifeline they all depend on, knowing you can trust a guy to follow orders without question. But one of the students is questioning the orders and it isn’t sitting well with the instructors.

5 – Flight’s On

This is the midway point through training and the pilots are about to take on “dog fighting.” The only real rule of “dog fighting” is that there are no rules. Coming out of a battle alive requires nerves of steel. Time is short and the instructors have their work cut out for them: To reach inside the hearts of six congenial young Canadians and bring out the warrior in them

6 – Dream Killer

At 410, every course sees at least one pilot who can’t cut it. This course has already seen two. If that isn’t daunting enough, the remaining six are about to enter the part of the program known as “The Dream Killer.” These missions are fluid and dynamic. And it is that dynamic nature which will – in very short order – shoot down another of the group’s star students.

7 – Do or Die

At this point the instructors are hell bent on driving home a single message to the rookies – death can happen to you! The next mission is Low Level Flying. Diving straight for the dirt then skimming above the tree line at hundreds of kilometers per hour. Meanwhile, one final hour in the CF-18 will determine the next 20 years of one student’s life. The Progress Review Board is back in session and it looks as if things have hit rock bottom this time

8 – Bombs Away

The fighter pilot rookies are in the homestretch, just a few short weeks away from graduation. But that doesn’t mean they can relax. Their next mission has them refueling the jets in mid-air, dropping bombs and shooting guns at ground targets. Finally, after nine long, hard and sometimes heartbreaking months of training, it is graduation day. The graduates can finally shake the annoying title of “rookie” and become bona fide fighter pilots

The Man Who Injects Venom

The Man Who Injects Venom This one-off documentary explores the fascinating story of Steve Ludwin, a reptile enthusiast who has been injecting himself with snake venom for the last 20 years. Steve is convinced venom has medicinal properties and has been slowly building up his immunity to the deadly toxins. This film follows him to Florida, where he meets two other dedicated ‘selfimmunisers’. Meanwhile, scientists in London test Steve’s blood to see if his controversial theories about snake venom have any merit.
Connecticut native Steve Ludwin moved to the UK over 20 years ago. For most of that time, he has been injecting himself with a cocktail of deadly snake venoms. Every few months, he milks his collection of pet reptiles, dilutes the poison and injects it into his bloodstream. Steve began his dangerous experiments in ‘self-immunisation’ purely to build up resistance to snakebites. Now he believes there may be medicinal benefits to venom, and has agreed to let scientists perform a battery of tests on his blood. “They’re going through my whole body with a fine-tooth comb,” he says.
Steve’s unusual hobby has come close to claiming his life in the past. Eighteen months ago, he was hospitalised for three days. When Steve’s latest experiment results in an outbreak of hives, zoologist Wolfgang Wuster warns him that he is at risk of a fatal allergic reaction. Steve admits that he is “playing with a shotgun”, but presses ahead with his plan to have his blood studied by leading immunologist Dirk Budka.
Dr Budka sees some logic behind Steve’s bold theories. “There is a possibility that in future we’ll say, ‘why didn’t we all inject snake venom into our arms because that helps us with disease A, B, C, D, E?’” he concedes. Snake venom has been used for its medicinal properties since ancient times, and new research now suggests it has a practical application in fighting cancer and high blood pressure.

While Steve awaits the result of his blood tests, he sets out on a quest to meet fellow self-immunisers. His journey takes him to the Everglades in Florida, an area abundant in reptile life. Steve stops off at a reptile rescue centre to see a 14ft venomous king cobra. “There’s enough venom [in the snake] to drop and kill an 8,000lb elephant,” the cobra’s handler tells him. The terrifying experience only whets Steve’s appetite for adventure. “That was the most exciting thing I’ve ever done,” he says.
Next, Steve meets amateur herpetologist Norman Benoit, whom he met over the internet. Norman dabbles in the venom of the highly toxic coral snake. He is fascinated by research that draws parallels between the onset of Alzheimer’s disease and the debilitating progression of snake venom, and theorises that resistance to the latter could help combat the former. Norman reveals that his wife has banished his makeshift reptile lab to the garage. “She doesn’t get it,” he admits.
Self-proclaimed ‘Cobraman’ Ray Hunter lives nearby. Ray harvests snake venom for research labs and self-immunises in order to build a tolerance to snakebites. Over a year ago, Ray spent five days in a coma after being bitten by a rattlesnake. While Ray has a professional need to self-immunise, he is sceptical about Steve’s desire to try coral snake venom. “If it were me, I would wait until research proves that the injecting of coral snake venom will prevent this, that or the other,” he says.
As Steve prepares to sample the coral snake, he admits to a certain thrill at the prospect of injecting venom that is nine times stronger that the poison he routinely administers. “I don’t want to die. I’m not flirting with death,” he insists. “This is science.” In Norman’s garage, the enthusiasts gather to swap snake tales and share out the venom. Norman has diluted the poison heavily to protect Steve, who is unused to it. But how will Steve react to the substance? And, back in London, what will the blood tests reveal about his resistance to venom?

BBC - The Secret Life of Chaos +Sub

Professor Jim Al-Khalili shows how chaos theory can answer a question that mankind has asked for millennia - how does a universe that starts off as dust end up with intelligent life? It's a mindbending, counterintuitive and for many people a troubling idea. But Professor Al-Khalili reveals the science behind much of beauty and structure in the natural world and discovers that far from it being magic or an act of God, it is in fact an intrinsic part of the laws of physics.
