Butt Seriously... The Bottom Line On Bums

BUTT SERIOUSLY is a playful science documentary that follows intrepid host Anthony Morgan as he explores the wild world of the anus. Yeah, we know. From a beetle that can use its rear end as a weapon to an invertebrate whose butt is located in its gills, from a Norwegian vessel studying marine invertebrate bums to our collective cultural obsession with the human tush, and from an exam room during a routine colonoscopy to a Japanese lab working at the cutting edge of medical research… BUTT SERIOUSLY is a cheeky global journey to get to the bottom of the bottom.

The Machine That Feels

Scientists see AI technology as an opportunity to address inequities and make a better, more connected world. But it also has the capacity to do the opposite: to stoke division and inequality and disconnect us from fellow humans. THE MACHINE THAT FEELS shows viewers what they need to know about a field that is advancing at a dizzying pace, often away from the public eye. What does it mean when AI makes art? How is it possible that AI creates sophisticated neural networks that mimic the human brain? Can AI interpret and understand human emotions and what does it mean to be human in a world filled with machines that feel? This special seeks to answer and investigate these questions, and more.
