Conquistadors

The Cat Whisperer follows Dirk Arthur as he examines how attitudes toward animals in entertainment have evolved throughout the centuries. With charismatic trainer-breeder-illusionist Arthur as our guide, we will go behind the scenes to show how today's trainers work with dangerous animals, giving them the same respect as they would human colleagues and friends ... and watch as the animals responding in kind.
Premiere: 2003


Lost City of the Incas
Now, after more than 400 years, Vilcabamba la Grande — the vanquished capital city of the Incas, which has eluded countless explorers — has been discovered by the Spanish historian and adventurer, Santiago del Valle. It sits 12,000 feet up in the Andes, some 60 miles west of Machu Picchu, on a peak so distant that there are no roads, no trails, no villagers within days. In the next few months, del Valle and his team will explore Vilcabamba la Grande. We will be there with them ... for a once-in-a-lifetime archaeological find. This film will vividly retell the story behind this vanished city, as well as the tale of the murderous hostility between the Conquistadors and Incas in a strikingly cinematic style. Offering up a sweeping narrative with dramatic feature film-style re-enactments, Lost City of the Incas will bring to life the clash between two mighty armies ... the terrible last stand of a once proud empire ... the fall of the Incas.
Premiere: 2003


Secrets of Hawaii's National Parks
Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park, on Hawaii's Big Island, was established in 1916 and hosts nearly 2.5 million visitors each year. There are many diverse areas of this 230,000-acre park, giving viewers exposing visitors to a microcosm of the life cycle of a volcano and demonstrating its god-like ability to both create and destroy. We'll also venture to Maui, the location of Hawaii's other national park, Haleakala, which is also dominated by a volcanic mountain and is brimming with exotic, tropical wildlife.
Premiere: 2003

THE MIDDLE PASSAGE
Rated TV14 for

"If the Atlantic were to dry up, it would reveal a scattered pathway of human bones: African bones marking the various routes of the Middle Passage" (artist/author Tom Feelings). In the triangular slave-trade system practiced in the 400 years leading up to the American Civil War, the "Middle Passage" represents the leg of the journey in which men, women and children were captured in West Africa and brought to the New World. With voiceover narration delivered by an anonymous African captive (voiced by Djimon Hounsou), this groundbreaking motion picture provides a shocking look at the unspeakable horrors of the transatlantic slave trade in which millions of Africans were packed into ships for hellish five-to-twelve-week journeys that left many dead--and many more in bondage.
