  Joe English learned to fly a Lancaster bomber before he could drive a car. During World War Two RAF Bomber Command called upon young men barely out of their teens to fly some of the most dangerous missions of the entire war. In 1943 the life expectancy of an air gunner was just three minutes in combat. For every 100 Bomber Command aircrew only 24 would survive their tour... Now Joe English is reunited with the five other surviving aircrew from RAF 625 Squadron Lancaster 'The Lucky H' to tell their stories for the very first time. Joined by other surviving Bomber Command veterans they provide a powerful and moving insight into life - and death - as one of the 'Bomber Boys'. At the same time seven grandsons of bomber veterans experience life first hand in a recreation of a wartime British Commonwealth Air Training Plant providing them with a new understanding of what their grandfathers endured - and the sacrifices they made. The veterans and their grandchildren are then reunited for an unforgettable flight in one of only two surviving airworthy Lancasters before setting out together to visit the graves of wartime comrades in Europe. Making full use of rare and personal archive materials Bomber Boys is one of the finest tributes to the men of wartime RAF Bomber Command ever produced for television.

Beautiful grasslands are being overrun by mountains destroyed by coal mining, blackening the surrounding landscape and poisoning its people. Behemoth tours exploding hillsides, dank mine shafts, cacophonous factories, and vacant cities, building upon Zhao's previous exposés (2009's Petition, 2007's Crime and Punishment) by combining his investigative streak with a painterly vision of a social and ecological nightmare unfolding out of sight. Mesmerizing and dreamlike in its stark birds' eye observations of the industrial processes at work, this is a nearly silent trip into Dante's circle of hell from one of China's most talented filmmakers.
