👁Demolition, disease, and death: Building the Panama Canal
🧠Alex Gendler
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣In the 19th century, the California gold rush brought thousands of settlers to America's west coast. But finding gold may have been easier than transporting it back east. The only hope for avoiding a grueling six month wagon journey was to travel the narrowest portion of the continent — the 48-kilometer Isthmus of Panama. Alex Gendler details the creation of the Panama Canal. [Directed by Cabong Studios, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Cem Misirlioglu, Amit Peled].

👁Why are airplanes slower than they used to be?
🧠Alex Gendler
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣In 1996, a British Airways plane flew from New York to London in a record-breaking two hours and fifty-three minutes. Today, however, passengers flying the same route can expect to spend no less than six hours in the air — twice as long. So why, in a world where everything seems to be getting faster, have commercial flights lagged behind? Alex Gendler details the problems facing supersonic flight.

👁How we could make carbon-negative concrete
🧠Tom Schuler
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣Concrete is all around us: we use it to build our roads, buildings, bridges and much more. Yet over the last 2,000 years, the art of mixing cement and using it to bind concrete hasn't changed very much -- and it remains one of the world's biggest emitters of carbon. Entrepreneur Tom Schuler previews an innovative way to create concrete, potentially turning it into a carbon sink that traps CO2 from the atmosphere -- while producing a viable building material.

👁Blood, concrete, and dynamite: Building the Hoover Dam
🧠Alex Gendler
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English

👣In the early 20th century, the US had expanded from coast to coast, but many cities in the southwest still lacked reliable water sources. The Colorado River's erratic flow and frequent floods made it unreliable for agriculture, and the region's growing cities needed more energy. So the government decided to build a massive hydroelectric dam. Alex Gendler details the creation of the Hoover Dam. [Directed Jovan Rakic, Artrake Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Nikola Radivojevic].
