This ground-breaking series focuses on African innovation, addressing today’s and tomorrow’s problems with courage and imagination in equal measure. It is a fascinating look at how cutting-edge scientific technology from all over the world is being put to use to alleviate the problems faced by Africans today.
The thirteen part series tells stories from all over Africa, and introduces the people who are doing great things – from fighting the escalating gun crime in South Africa to unearthing and diffusing land mines in Mozambique; from astronomy to medicine; and from large scale engineering infrastructure to homegrown solutions to local problems – creating a sustainable future for individuals, families, communities and nations.
Along the scientific journey through the continent we are also treated to the workings of the largest telescope in the Southern hemisphere, stunning footage from the biggest game park in Namibia and inside information on how African athletes maintain their peak performances and prowess.

Volcanoes are a force of Nature; their unrelenting power has been unleashed for millions of years on Earth, threatening to sweep us away in a fiery inferno at any moment. Faced with this peril, a group of passionate men and women have embarked on a mission: to understand and protect. They are the guardian angels of densely populated areas such as Naples, they are isolated volcano explorers such as in the Rift Valley in Tanzania, they are perched at more than 6000m on the Andean highlands or immersed in the mysterious Auvergne subsoil: volcanologists from all over the world are ready to face any challenge to quench their thirst for knowledge. They have made volcanoes their open-air laboratories. Without respite, they roam the world's volcanoes, guided by their fascination and sense of duty.
