6.6 Сюжет (англ.)
Wisconsin Death Trip is an intimate, shocking and sometimes hilarious account of the disasters that befell one small town in Wisconsin during the final decade of the 19th century. The film is inspired by Michael Lesy's book of the same name which was first published in 1973. Lesy discovered a striking archive of black and white photographs in the town of Black River Falls dating from the 1890s and married a selection of these images to extracts from the town's newspaper from the same decade. The effect was surprising and disturbing. The town of Black River Falls seems gripped by some peculiar malaise and the weekly news is dominated by bizarre tales of madness, eccentricity and violence amongst the local population. Suicide and murder are commonplace. People in the town are haunted by ghosts, possessed by devils and terrorized by teenage outlaws and arsonists. Like the book, the film is constructed entirely from authentic news reports from the Black River Falls' newspaper with occasional excerpts from the records of the nearby Mendota Asylum for the Insane. The film also makes use of the haunting black and white photographs taken by the resident portrait photographer of Black River Falls at the end of the 19th century. Contemporary color documentary footage of the town today is also included at the end of each section of the film that take place over the course of four seasons.

Сюжет (англ.)
This docudrama examines the history of scientific discovery that lead up to Albert Einstein's famous equation E=mc2 and its aftermath in the creation of nuclear energy. This includes Faraday's discovery of electromagnetic fields; Antoine Lavoisier's discovery that mass is never lost; and Emilie du Chatelet's demonstration that Newton's calculation of the velocity of a falling object was incorrect. By 1905, the miracle year where the publication Einstein's four physics papers changed over 200 years of scientific fundamentals, all of this came together with his now famous equation. Afterwards, Lise Meisner's work on uranium let to her conclusion that splitting an atom would release large amounts of energy.

26 липня крейсер «Індіанаполіс» доставив атомну бомбу «Малюк» на острів Тініан. 6 серпня 1945 року американський військовий літак Б-29 «Енола Гей», пілотований Томасом Феребі, злетів з Тініана. А в 8:15 по місцевому часу цей літак скинув бомбу на японське місто Хіросіма. Бомба потужністю 20 тис. тонн тротилового еквіваленту вибухнула на висоті 600 метрів над містом…Це була не просто військова операція, а демонстрація сили США, в результаті якої до кінця 1945 року в Хіросімі загинули близько 140 тисяч чоловік, - майже половина населення міста.

He may have been the ultimate icon of 1950s conformity and postwar complacency, but Dwight D. Eisenhower was an iconoclast, visionary, and the Cassandra of the New World Order. Upon departing his presidency, Eisenhower issued a stern, cogent warning about the burgeoning "military industrial complex," foretelling with ominous clarity the state of the world in 2004 with its incestuous entanglement of political, corporate, and Defense Department interests.

Сюжет (англ.)
The world believes that the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended World War II. The world is wrong. Join Jim B. Smith, author of \"The Last Mission,\" as he recounts his journey aboard The Boomerang, a B-29 Superfortress on the last and longest mission that really ended the war. Smith was aboard this last mission, which destroyed a precision target 270 miles northwest of Tokyo nine days after Hiroshima and six days after Nagasaki.On August 14,1945, en route to Japan's last oil refinery, B-29s from the 315th Bomb Wing flew over Tokyo, causing a blackout. On the ground, a desperate Major Kenji Hatanaka and a group of rebellious Japanese military officers began a coup d'etat, and tried to find and destroy a recording slated to broadcast the next day--Emperor Hirohito announcing surrender. Their objectives were to kidnap Emperor Hirohito, and then order the armies to continue the war. Any extension of the war by the Japanese after their official acceptance of peace on August 14, 1945 would have brought unthinkable consequences.
See how the air strike unwittingly collapsed the coup, saved Tokyo from nuclear strike, and ended WWII. As a stream of American B-29B bombers approached Tokyo, Japanese air defenses, fearing the approaching planes signaled the threat of a third atomic bomb, ordered a total blackout in Tokyo and the Imperial Palace, completely disrupting the rebels' plans. Smith and his fellow crewmembers completed the mission, and a few hours later, the Emperor announced the surrender over Japan's airwaves, dictating the end of the war.
Based on the book by Jim Smith and Malcolm McConnell.
