To the south of the Indian metropolis of Surat in Gujarat province lies a vast industrial zone that has been growing ever since the 1960s. Director Rahul Jain filmed the grueling daily routine in just one of the many textile factories there. In the factory, man and machine seem to have fused into one being. It is dark and dank, and barely any daylight penetrates the space. The labor is heavy and mind-numbing, and the work days seem endless. We are drawn into a gloomy world where the cacophonous beat of machinery sets the rhythm of toil. Jain is as interested in the mysterious connection between worker and product (the fabrics are treated mechanically, but also with love) as he is in the degrading conditions. Each shift lasts 12 hours, for adults and children alike, and wages are extremely low. Short interviews are interspersed throughout the observational sequences, some of which are captivating in their beauty while others are painful to watch – such as when we see a boy nodding violently in his struggle to stay awake.

　　数字技术的发展，在给人类文明带来福利的同时，也给人类带来巨大的负面影响。纪录片中采访了多位专家，从多个角度进行了剖析。

　　永生是人类最古老的梦想，它最终可能将成为现实。今天，至少在西方，对永生的追求已经从表态上转向技术和科学导向。
　　在这部电影中，我们将研究世界各地实验室中这项研究的进展。随著冷冻技术的改进，人类基因转移及複製的发展成为可能，思维上传和大脑模拟数据的蓬勃发展。这大大逆转了细胞和器官的衰老的可行性，永生似乎就在眼前。
　　在某些国家，如美国，俄罗斯和欧洲，私人公司正在筹资并促进永生或至少延长预期寿命的承诺。他们是在贩卖现实还是一个乌托邦？我们将会看到科学家－神经生理学家，电脑工程专家，遗传学家和生物学家；以及不朽生命的希望－未来主义者，社会学家和商人。拍摄为老化而建的各种研究实验室和城市；採访专家以及体现永生的人，并谈论他们与生死之间的关係。

　　通过几位当事人的视角，旁白叙述中动画与资料影像拼接还原出令人揪心的案发经过，它用这种方式使观众能更自然地了解与代入这个发生于50年前的枪击案，其专注于几位当事人关键抉择的悬念塑造，与之后插入的真人采访录像，以及有意忽略凶手的叙事策略，表明影片重点是关于几位普通人的伟大抉择与伤痛回忆。

　　Wide Open Sky是一部来自澳大利亚的纪录片，它记录了澳大利亚莫拉贝拉好声音合唱团的温馨故事。他们将从试镜到年终音乐会的历程记录下来，以展示给观众。在这里，体育是王道，音乐教育是不存在的。尽管如此，指挥家米歇尔对合唱团仍有很高的期望。她想教孩子们当代的，原创的，要求较高的音乐。Wide Open Sky是一个破坏性和美感并存的纪录片，是一个动人的童年可能性的动态呈现，并提醒我们为什么孩子们都应该成长在有音乐的环境，而非隔绝音乐的环境。

　　探索频道将无处不在的生存节目通过将其剥离到裸露的层面，将主题提升到了一个新的层次。在《原始生活21天》中，完全陌生的人，通常是一男一女，以一种非常独特的方式相遇：他们全身赤裸，困于一个危险而荒凉的地方，没有食物和水。每一集讲述的是冒险者们身无一物，除了一件个人物品，试图靠自己的力量生存，他们也深知唯一的奖品只是自豪感和成就感。因为别无选择，竞争对手会迅速了解彼此以及周围的环境，并希望自己的本能、生存技能和毅力能够帮助自己度过险境。

　　史蒂芬·霍金在一档全新的科学节目中展示了我们真正的潜力。《史蒂芬·霍金天才实验室》第一季中有三位志愿者，通过一系列有趣的心理和生理挑战，我们得以观察他们是否能够解决一些历史上的难题——那些连最伟大的天才们也也苦苦思索的问题，例如：我们是孤独的吗？我可以时间旅行吗？我们究竟在哪？我们是什么？宇宙是从哪里来的？我们为什么在这里？节目中每一集都聚焦其中一个问题。开始是设定了一个挑战，然后通过趣味性的演示来确定问题的规模，然后会有进一步的挑战给到志愿者们，促使他们进行前所未有的思考，就像通过科学史上那些解开谜团的天才们一样。从鲜为人知的思想家，如古希腊的阿里斯塔克斯，到更为著名的伟人，如伽利略、牛顿、爱因斯坦和霍金本人，天才们把这些发现串成了一个引人入胜且富含启发性的系列节目。在每一场节目结束时，志愿者们都会对科学有一个令人振奋的全新认识。霍金引导他们认识了一个令人惊奇的宇宙中，这些经历将使他们毕生难忘。挑战的项目、惊喜的设计和成功的喜悦让这些知识变得相对容易被普通观众所接受，在看过节目之后，人们可能意识到自己真正理解了问题的答案。

　　Session Aces. Keepers of Time. Vocalists. Composers. The sidemen and sidewomen who play the riffs and fills we imitate in the air. When we turn up the radio, chances are we are listening to one of these players. A-listers have them on speed dial. International tour or recording session, who're they gonna call? A "Hired Gun." This feature length one-off documentary introduces the prolific musicians who are virtually unknown to the public. Billy Joel, Whitesnake, P!NK and Metallica are synonymous with their own artistry and success, but who is responsible for their instrumental solos? Who tours with them live?

　　A witty, exhilarating and mind-expanding exploration of the word of our times - data - with mathematician Dr Hannah Fry. Following in the footsteps of BBC Four's previous gleefully nerdy, award-winning maths films The Joy of Stats, Tails you Win - The Science of Chance and The Joy of Logic, this new high-tech romp reveals exactly what data is and how it is captured, stored, shared and made sense of. Fry also tells the story of the engineers of the data age, people most of us have never heard of despite the fact they brought about a technological and philosophical revolution.
　　For Hannah Fry, the joy of data is all about spotting patterns. She's Lecturer in the Mathematics of Cities at UCL as well as being the presenter of the BBC series Trainspotting Live and City in the Sky, and she sees data as the essential bridge between two universes - the tangible, noisy, messy world that we see and experience, and the clean, ordered, elegant world of maths, where everything can be captured beautifully with equations.
　　Along the way the film reveals the connection between Scrabble scores and online movie streaming, explains why a herd of Wiltshire dairy cows are wearing pedometers, and uncovers the remarkable network map of Wikipedia. What's the mystery link between 'marmalade' and 'One Direction'?
　　The Joy of Data also hails the giant contribution of Claude Shannon, the American mathematician and electrical engineer who, in an attempt to solve the problem of noisy telephone lines, devised a way to digitise all information. It was Shannon, father of the 'bit', who singlehandedly launched the 'information age'. Meanwhile, the green lawns of Britain's National Physical Laboratory host a race between its young apprentices in order to demonstrate how and why data moves quickly and successfully around modern data networks. It's all thanks to the brilliant technique first invented there in the 1960s by Welshman Donald Davies - packet switching - without which there would be no internet as we know it.
　　But what of the future, big data and artificial intelligence? Should we be worried by the pace of change, and what our own data could and should be used for? Ultimately, Fry concludes, data has empowered all of us. We must have machines at our side if we're to find patterns in the modern-day data deluge. But, Fry believes, regardless of AI and machine learning, it will always take us to find the meaning in them.
