In a style similar to "Wonders of the African World," Skip Gates will travel to places in Latin America where Africa has touched the continent with lasting cultural results to explore what happens when African and Hispanic worlds meet. In Cuba Professor Gates finds out how the culture, religion, politics and music of this island are inextricably linked to the huge amount of slave labor imported to produce its enormously profitable 19th century sugar industry, and how race and racism have fared since Fidel Castro’s Communist revolution in 1959.

The Blinding Sea, a 108-minute high-definition film, explores the life and loves of Roald Amundsen (1872-1928), the most successful polar explorer of all time. The film portrays him not as a lone white hero of legend, but as a person who shared with the Inuit and Inupiat of Arctic Canada and Alaska as well as the Chukchi of Siberia. He gained vital traditional knowledge that enabled him to navigate the Northwest Passage, conquer the South Pole, navigate the Northeast Passage and be first confirmed to have reached the North Pole. Shot entirely on location in Antarctica, the High Arctic (Alaska, the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut), Mexico, Scotland, England, Ireland and Norway, The Blinding Sea is a non-derivative film affirming the values of courage, dignity and sharing of knowledge in a multicultural setting. It is also a film drawing on rich story-telling by members of the Amundsen, Gerlache, Scott, Evans and Shackleton families, as well as on Inuit and Chukchi oral traditions.

In this beautifully filmed series, historian Rory Stewart studies the extraordinary landscape, oral history and archaeology of the Anglo-Scottish border, finding parallels with frontiers from Turkey to Nepal. Two thousand years ago, the Romans dominated the world. They divided their northernmost territory with an arbitrary marker; Hadrian's Wall split the communities of Britain in two. Border Lands explores the Anglo-Scottish borderlands' tumultuous history, learning how this boundary defined the region. Having served as a diplomat in fiercely contested borderlands from Indonesia and the Balkans to Iraq and Afghanistan, Rory has witnessed the effect of artificial frontiers, and the destructive potential of new nationalisms. Drawing on this experience, Rory reveals how borders are forged -- both in the land and in our imagination.

50 years ago, the majority of African colonies gained independence from European powers. During the independence ceremony of the largest African colony, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a young man poses a brave act. He steals the sword of the white king, thus symbolically claiming the power. Robert Lebeck eternalized the incident in a single shot. Later, the photographer went looking for this man, but he had vanished. An anonymous note in history. In 2009 and 2010, a small Belgium crew went to Democratic Republic of the Congo and met several "suspects" and discovered some amazing theories about this deed. And finally, they found the thief!
