BBC: The Incredible Human Journey - The Americas directed by Paul Bradshaw



How did Stone Age people reach North and South America? Dr Alice Roberts discovers evidence for an ancient corridor through the Canadian ice sheet that may have allowed those first people through. But some very ancient finds in southern Chile seem to suggest a very different way into the Americas; an ancient human skull discovered in Brazil even points to an Australasian origin of the Americans. Could a route from Australia across the Pacific have been possible?

BBC: The Incredible Human Journey - Australia directed by Paul Bradshaw



There are seven billion humans on Earth, spread across the whole planet. Scientific evidence suggests that most of us can trace our origins to one tiny group of people who left Africa around 70,000 years ago. In this five-part series, Dr Alice Roberts follows the archaeological and genetic footprints of our ancient ancestors to find out how their journeys transformed our species into the humans we are today, and how Homo sapiens came to dominate the planet.

Alice looks at our ancestors' seemingly impossible journey to Australia. Miraculously preserved footprints and very old human fossils buried in the outback suggest a mystery: that humans reached Australia almost before anywhere else. How could they have travelled so far from Africa, crossing the open sea on the way, and do it thousands of years before they made it to Europe?

The evidence trail is faint and difficult to pick up, but Alice takes on the challenge. In India, new discoveries among the debris of a super volcano hint that our species started the journey much earlier than previously thought, while in Malaysia, genetics points to an ancient trail still detectable in the DNA of tribes today.

Alice travels deep into the Asian rainforests in search of the first cavemen of Borneo and tests out a Stone Age raft to see whether sea travel would have been possible thousands of years ago, before coming to a powerful conclusion.

BBC: The Incredible Human Journey - Europe directed by Philip Smith



There are seven billion humans on Earth, spread across the whole planet. Scientific evidence suggests that most of us can trace our origins to one tiny group of people who left Africa around 70,000 years ago. In this five-part series, Dr Alice Roberts follows the archaeological and genetic footprints of our ancient ancestors to find out how their journeys transformed our species into the humans we are today, and how Homo Sapiens came to dominate the planet.

When our species first arrived in Europe, the peak of the Ice Age was approaching and the continent was already crawling with a rival: stronger, at home in the cold and even (contrary to the popular image) brainier than us. So how did the European pioneers survive first the Neanderthals and then the deep freeze as they pushed across the continent?

Alice Roberts reconstructs the head of the 'first European' to come face to face with one of our ancestors; she discovers how art became crucial for survival in the face of Neanderthal competition; and what happened to change the skin colour of these European pioneers.

Finally, spectacular new finds on the edge of Europe suggest that the first known temples may have been a spark for a huge revolution in our ancestors' way of life - agriculture.

BBC: The Incredible Human Journey - Asia directed by Charles Colville



There are seven billion humans on earth, spread across the whole planet. Scientific evidence suggests that most of us can trace our origins to one tiny group of people who left Africa around 70,000 years ago. In this five-part series, Dr Alice Roberts follows the archaeological and genetic footprints of our ancient ancestors to find out how their journeys transformed our species into the humans we are today, and how Homo sapiens came to dominate the planet.

In this programme, the journey continues into Asia, the world's greatest land mass, in a quest to discover how early hunter-gatherers managed to survive in one of the most inhospitable places on earth - the Arctic region of Northern Siberia. Alice meets the nomadic Evenki people, whose lives are dictated by reindeer, both wild and domesticated, and discovers that the survival techniques of this very ancient people have been passed down through generations. Alice also explores what may have occurred during human migration to produce Chinese physical characteristics, and considers a controversial claim about Chinese evolution: that the Chinese do not share the same African ancestry as other peoples.

BBC: The Incredible Human Journey - Out of Africa directed by David Stewart



Dr Alice Roberts travels the globe to discover the incredible story of how humans left Africa to colonise the world - overcoming hostile terrain, extreme weather and other species of human. She pieces together precious fragments of bone, stone and new DNA evidence and discovers how this journey changed these African ancestors into the people of today.

Alice travels to Africa in search of the birthplace of the first people. They were so few in number and so vulnerable that today they would probably be considered an endangered species. So what allowed them to survive at all? The Bushmen of the Kalahari have some answers - the unique design of the human body made them efficient hunters and the ancient click language of the Bushmen points to an early ability to organise and plan.

Humans survived there, but Africa was to all intents and purposes a sealed continent. So how and by what route did humans make it out of Africa? Astonishing genetic evidence reveals that everyone alive today who is not African descends from just one successful, tiny group which left the continent in a single crossing, an event that may have happened around 70 thousand years ago. But how did they do it? Alice goes searching for clues in the remote Arabian Desert.

Dan Snow also discovers how, in a titanic clash of cultures, their leader Montezuma faced up to a mortal threat from another world - the weaponry, gold-lust and greed of 16th-century Spanish conquistadors.

Le procès de trois geeks suédois, fondateurs d'une des plus grandes plates-formes de peer-to-peer du monde.

Fondé en 2004, The Pirate Bay entendait permettre à ses millions d'utilisateurs, aux quatre coins du globe, d'échanger des fichiers audio et vidéo hors de tous les circuits commerciaux traditionnels - à la grande fureur de l'industrie cinématographique et musicale. Au terme d'un procès très médiatisé, un tribunal suédois a prononcé des peines de prison ferme et ordonné le versement de millions de dollars de dommages et intérêts à l'encontre de trois de ses principaux membres. Dans ce documentaire, chronique de cette longue procédure judiciaire, les trois jeunes geeks, Gottfrid Svartholm Ward, Fredrik Neif et Peter Sunde - leur souriant porte-parole et le plus politisé du groupe -, apparaissent comme trois garçons aux profils et aux motivations bien différents. De ce portrait de hacker en jeune homme, "les fondateurs de The Pirate Bay ne ressortent pas forcément grandis, mais plus humains", écrit Damien Leloup dans Le Monde. Le documentaire ne fait en effet l'impasse ni sur leurs traits de caractère les moins sympathiques - humour douteux, propos racistes - ni sur les zones d'ombre de l'aventure - liens avec l'extrême-droite, interrogations de la cour autour des recettes publicitaires. Surtout, de la visite des serveurs aux liens tissés entre The Pirate Bay, le tout jeune Parti des Pirates suédois et WikiLeaks, il propose une immersion passionnante dans l'univers du "crime désorganisé". Présenté en février à la Berlinale (en ouverture de la section Panorama documentaires), ce film de Simon Klose vient nourrir le débat sur les droits d'auteur dans une société de plus en plus interconnectée.

Palettes: Warhol - Ten Lizes réalisé par Alain Jaubert



"Ten Lizes" d'Andy Warhol - 1963 - Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris

Pourquoi les images de Warhol fascinent-elles autant? Palettes analyse un tableau géant dont l'histoire secrète et les implications sont plutôt étonnantes. Dix visages semblables sont imprimés en noir, en deux rangées, sur une grande toile de 5, 65m de long sur 2 mètres de haut. Semblables, ces visages? Pas tout à fait: le spectateur peut y distinguer de multiples petites différences, comme les variations dues au hasard d'un même moule. Il peut y reconnaître aussi le visage d'une actrice célèbre, Elizabeth Taylor, c'est à dire "Liz". Andy Warhol (Pittsburgh, 1928-New York, 1987) a composé cette image en 1963 en partant d'une photo de la star et en la répétant dix fois grâce à un écran de sérigraphie. Pourquoi ce visage? Pourquoi cette répétition? Warhol livre difficilement ses clés. "Je n'ai jamais voulu être peintre", dit-il. "Je voulais être danseur de claquettes". Devenu peintre par hasard, il semble choisir arbitrairement ses motifs. Travaillant à New York, dans les années soixante, au coeur du mouvement "pop art", serait-il une sorte de reflet négatif de la société de consommation? Une telle image, qui semble rompre avec l'art traditionnel du portrait, peut cependant se déchiffrer aussi bien qu'un tableau plus ancien.
