And we look back on the greatest conflict of modern history, WWII, through the prism of geography in The Geography Of War. Gruesome seaside crimes are put under the microscope in Murder By The Sea and in The Truth About my Murder, a world-renowned forensic pathologist explores murder cases using his state-of-the-art digital autopsy table. Moving from death to the joys of new life, Raised In The Wild follows various animals through the eventful first years of their young lives.
