To this purpose, special scientific programs are working to optimize athletic performance. By the same creative team of Science vs Terrorism, this 4-parter will have access to the labs and training sessions around the world, where scientists measure and analyze performances, friction, materials, interactions with the ground - in order to define the best movement and design the most adapted equipment.

- Vanuatu is the most linguistically diverse country in the world per capita with over 100 Indigenous languages spoken in a population of just 250,000. But one language unites everyone - the language of music. The Etetung - or water music - of Vanuatu is a hypnotic sonic and visual experience. This stunning display performed by a group of talented women relies on a range of remarkable sounds created on the surface of a body of water - scooping, splashing, slapping, skimming, swirling - accompanied by soaring vocal harmonies, all bound together in a rich rhythmic tapestry. The performance style of this aquatic art form is a symbolic reflection of women working in the water - washing, bathing children and collecting shellfish - as their ancestors have done for thousands of years, with an astonishing musical aspect. What began as an amateur folklore experiment by trailblazing women is fast becoming a professional tourist attraction, connected to deeply important rituals. This documentary captures the wonder and meaning of this phenomenon, set amongst the glorious tropics of Vanuatu, on stunning beaches and in beautiful blue lagoons. Unfolding gently against the serene backdrop of the islands, we explore the preparations and capture the anticipation in the lead up to this important cultural event. Going behind the scenes with performers and their families we begin to understand the significance of the highly moving performances.
- As soon as he came to power in 2012, Xi Jinping clearly stated his ambition for a national renaissance. He will combine this with the construction of a powerful army and a certain vision of Chinese territory, which includes the reunification of Taiwan. In this quest, control of the oceans has become a crucial issue, and America an obstacle. In the South China Sea and the Pacific, the Chinese Communist Party has been pursuing a strategy to undermine American influence for the past decade. Relying on the active participation of maritime militias - fishermen trained by the military - China is creating a grey area between war and peace that destabilizes both its neighbors and the world's leading military power.

- Over the last 20 years, the number of discoveries of new dinosaur species has multiplied, changing the way we see them. By combining NHK's highly realistic 3D imagery with the most recent paleontological evidence - to which we have exclusive access - this project offers an ambitious and spectacular PRIME TIME documentary. Scientists now believe they have a more accurate overview of dinosaurs. Unique fossils have revealed more details about their behaviour and characteristics. Feathers were a widespread feature amidst dinosaurs and must have facilitated their adaptation to extreme climates, such as the Arctic. In addition, the discovery of a fossilized nest suggests that these animals hatched their eggs and took care of their offspring. In the same period, the oceans were filled with sea monsters - reptilians which had probably fled the dinosaurs in their evolutionary process. In particular, this film will show the survival tactics of these giants, especially off the coasts of Japan.
