We gain rare access to an underground city ordered and -- in part -- designed by Hitler himself, part of a vast network of over 1000 bunkers and many miles of tunnels, much of which has remained sealed since the war.

| “ | Michel de Nostradamus was a 16th-century French physician and astrologer whose very name is synonymous with apocalyptic visions of the near and distant future. His ominous writings appear to have accurately anticipated numerous natural disasters, plagues and wars. Nostradamus Effect examines these and other end-of-time predictions from cultures across the globe, from centuries ago, and connects the dots with current global events to separate the prophecies that appear to be inspired visions from those that are merely crackpot conspiracy theory. | ” |
| “ | Got your Area 51 facts straight? Your Kennedy conspiracy in order? Then why not adopt one of the more curious conspiracy theories: man never landed on the moon. Produced in 2001, this 47-minute documentary (which aired on the Fox network) has the "facts" to prove Apollo 11 went into space, but never to the moon. While the film starts a bit differently than most conspiracy videos (a Tower of Babel opening, a montage of rocket explosions scored to "Destination Moon"), the film soon goes fast and loose with the facts and quickly plays its "knockout" evidence. Writer-director-producer Bart Winfield Sibrel's first arguments play on hindsight: Kennedy (mired in conspiracy) set a goal of landing a man on the moon before the end of the decade; Nixon (mired in trickery) was in office to pull it off. When Sibrel examines iffy scientific principals (how deadly are Van Allen radiation belts?) and curious facts (Neil Armstrong's guarded private life--is he hiding something?), it puts just enough doubt in the viewer's mind. The vast array of photographic evidence seems sketchy (shadow irregularities easily explained by exposure settings), confusing (newly discovered shots from inside Apollo 11's capsule), and intriguing (shadow discrepancies). The production quality is not convincing, though, especially the odd way the film ends with a clip from the Zapruder film. The video cover is actually a shot from the Hollywood film Capricorn One, a much more fun way to tackle your space conspiracy theories | ” |

| “ | For the first time, the Canadian Forces have allowed cameras into their training grounds to give Discovery Channel viewers an incredible, in depth look at what it takes to become a Canadian soldier. In the midst of a dusty desert landscape, Pte. Dan Martin clambers up a well-positioned hill to scope out potential threats to his fellow Canadian Forces soldiers. But he fails to take proper cover while perched atop his post and instead serves as an easy target for Taliban gunfire. Thankfully, this deadly mistake took place in training, and not on the fields of Afghanistan. "It's a real eye-opener for me," the sheepish Martin says after being chewed out by his commanders for forgetting basic strategy on the new reality series, Combat School. "If that was real, I would have been dead so I've got to be careful now." | ” |

| “ | A reasonable documentary painting in overly-broad strokes the history of US Navy aircraft carriers. Spiced by a narrative voice with the subtlety of the more sober Sunday afternoon sports commentaries, the recitation is appropriate for this script deficient in thesaurus research for alternatives to repetitively growled words like "decisive." Very nicely selected and edited historical visual footage. Included with the package is a well illustrated and laid out 26 page booklet, which is almost as informative as the video itself. | ” |
