Tony Blair recounts how he flew to President Bush's private retreat at Camp David to go head to head with Vice President Dick Cheney. Colin Powell explains how he came to make his disastrous presentation to the United Nations.

在这部纪录片里，Stephen Fry会带领我们探索如何学习语言，如何写字，为什么有时会觉得难以表达……1）Babel 在第一集中，Stephen向我们揭示了人类语言的起源以及为什么我们是唯一拥有语言能力的物种，通过教猩猩说话、将人类语言基因植入白鼠等实验说明人脑与语言间的独特联系； 2）Identity 我们所讲的语言表明了我们的特征，甚至体现出阶级差异。同时Stephen还探索了英语全球化势不可挡的原因；3）Uses and Abuses 在语言的使用过程中，往往混杂着咒骂等一些不好的词汇。Stephen做了一次核磁共振扫描后发现我们大脑中有一部分是与粗话相联系的，妥瑞综合症和中风患者就不能说粗话；4）Spreading the World 书写让知识的保存和传递得以进行，第四集中Stephen将为我们介绍字母的来源和演化；5）The Power and The Glory 讲故事是人类表达自己情感、相互沟通的方式。通过与作家的交流，Stephen将告诉我们怎样写出更加引人入胜的故事。（松鼠字幕组）

A language that can be spoken, hummed, or whistled? A language with no unique words for color or numbers? Linguistics professor Daniel Everett claims that the unique language of the Piraha people of the Amazon is exactly that. More than 30 years ago, he traveled as a missionary into the amazon rainforest to teach the tribe, but they ended up teaching him. Their way of life and unique form of communication have profoundly changed Everett, and inspired a theory that could undermine the most powerful theory (or theorist) of linguistics.

The Art of the Piano is a feature-length, 106-minute documentary that presents in refreshingly straightforward fashion a portrait of 20th-century piano playing. The format is simple: short segments on virtually all of the great pianists who have ever been captured on film, augmented by extracts from interviews, sometimes with the pianists themselves, or with later conductors and musicians of international stature, including specially filmed contributions from Daniel Barenboim, Sir Colin Davis, Evgeny Kissin, Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, and Tamás Vásáry. The narration by John Tusa offers an overview of piano music through the century, though the heart of the film is the great quantity of rare archive historic footage, with extracts from performances by Gould, Horowitz, Paderwski, Rachmaninoff, Richter, Rubinstein, and many others. The interviews are short, but offer considerable insight, while the film of so many revered pianists brought together is a literal eye-opener, especially for those who have previously only known these masters from LP and CD. This is, like the companion program The Art of Singing, as close to definitive as a single film can get, even going so far as to include footage from the "silent" era with sound from corresponding recordings. --Gary S.

在德裔苏联大钢琴家里赫特去世前一年，纪录片导演、小提琴家布鲁诺·蒙桑容（他因拍摄古尔德、梅纽因而成为音乐家纪录片领域内的大师）带着摄制组和传主同起居近一年，其成果是这部纪录片以及一本谈话录《里赫特：笔记与对话》见
。
纪录片拍摄得非常朴实，传主本人对着镜头，用俄语讲述他的一生事件和艺术观念。态度和用语相当直率，据说在书中，保留了更多他的“粗话”。

As Chinese Communist Party secretary, Guo Yongchang was the most powerful man in his county, located in the rural inland province of Henan. Guo invited acclaimed documentary filmmaker Zhou Hao to record his final months in office. Through Zhou’s lens, we see Guo work tirelessly to achieve his greatest desire: for Henan to match the affluence of booming coastal areas. Zhou also captures the sordid details of local-level politics in pursuit of growth: lavish parties with foreign investors, threats to local workers protesting unpaid wages, and offers of bribes and kickbacks.

Part two of Leni Riefenstahl's monumental examination of the 1938 Olympic Games, the cameras leave the main stadium and venture into the many halls and fields deployed for such sports as fencing, polo, cycling, and the modern pentathlon, which was won by American Glenn Morris.

A cameraman wanders around with a camera slung over his shoulder, documenting urban life with dazzling inventiveness.

A raw and telling portrait of a people left behind by the modern world, inspired by the work of photographer Martin Martinček - whose pictures of the inhabitants of the Liptov region in central Slovakia, encompassed by the Tatra mountains, distilled entire lifetimes into luminous and intransient images. Dušan Hanák's continuation of these photographs takes the shape of a poetic visual essay, capturing more comprehensive vignettes of their isolated human experiences.
