For better or worse, science has played a central role in the life and development of human civilization.

This 5-part documentary series takes an in-depth look at the five key areas of scientific innovation that are likely to have the largest impact on the future of our global society.
Millions of Chinese protested for freedom in Tiananmen Square and around the country. A new generation wanted greater democratic rights. Martial law was declared and the government crushed the decent. Tiananmen remains a reminder that political freedom is not allowed.
A sunny day in paradise turned into one of the deadliest, most catastrophic natural disasters ever. An earthquake deep in the Indian ocean caused tsunamis that battered countries from Southeast Asia all the way to Africa. Hundreds of thousands of people died. Millions were left without food and shelter. Whole cites were wiped out not unlike from a nuclear explosion. The only solace is the creation of an early warning system that has already proven its worth.
America was attacked on 9/11/2001. Four planes were hijacked and used to destroy the World Trade Center and damage the Pentagon. 2,973 people died; a nations psyche permanently altered. The mastermind, Osama bin Laden, was motivated by extremist religious views.
A scheduled test resulted in the explosion of the Soviet nuclear power plant that burned for 10 days before it could be contained. Radioactive clouds rained down on much of the Northern Hemisphere. Over 700 people died and untold more were exposed to high levels of radiation. Elevated levels of cancers, deformities in newborns, and organ failure could affect generations to come. Many safety enhancements have been made in the wake of the Chernobyl disaster. Features that hopefully will not be tested as nuclear energy begins a resurgence because of increased energy demands and the desire for "clean" fuels to limit the impact on global warming.
