80 年代初,亨利·李·卢卡斯承认他曾杀害数百人,为一直悬而未决的案件画上了终点,也安抚了诸多处于悲痛中的家庭。尽管没有直接证据表明卢卡斯与犯罪现场有关,但他在列举每起袭击的残忍细节的同时,还能画出受害者的画像,这让当局感到震惊。然而,记者和律师发现卢卡斯的作案时间存在疑问,DNA 测试结果也开始与他在国际报道中的说法相矛盾。《自白的杀手》是一部引人入胜的五集纪录片剧集,讲述了这个曾经被称为美国犯案次数最多的连环杀手如何在一个不完善的司法系统中成为一个复杂的人物。该剧集由荣获奥斯卡提名的罗伯特·肯纳(《食品公司》)和塔基·奥尔德姆执导。
The rise of Stalin, from his early beginning as a bankrobber to the cold-blooded leader of the Soviet Union. Who was Stalin? The man who defeated Nazism? The “Little Father of the Peoples"? Or the greatest criminal of his time? In Apocalypse Stalin, three 52-minute episodes, Isabelle Clarke and Daniel Costelle paint the portrait of one of the fiercest despots of the twentieth century, using archive film of the day. This footage has been perfectly restored and beautifully colorized by the Apocalypse production team. Starting with the fight to the death against Hitler, the series tells the story of the incredible rise to power of Joseph Jughashvili. This cobbler's son from Georgia started with nothing and made his way up the ranks through various intrigues and crimes, ultimately rising to absolute power and adopting the moniker Stalin - “man of steel" in Russian. From a human standpoint, the series describes the enormous tragedy that befell the Soviet people between 1878 and 1945, as they found themselves caught in a trap that became a living hell.

位於台风频仍的地区,又紧邻一系列的地震断层线,全球第一大高楼台北101撷取来自竹子、赛艇和跑车的概念,才不致於沦为一座17亿5千万美元的灾难。有监於大楼的高度,以及所在位置每10年都会发生地震,台北101必须兼具刚 和柔 。建筑师王重平令人跌破眼镜,特别以竹子做为大楼的结构蓝本。为了让台北101在超级风暴中依然伫立,王重平采用3500年前,由玻里尼西亚人所研发的工程解决方案,在大楼外部加上特殊的悬臂梁,以类似赛船的方式维持大楼的稳定。但光靠悬臂梁也无法阻止顶端楼层在强风中摇摆。大楼运用一般安全带的概念,在87楼到92楼之间悬吊一颗6百吨重的巨大钢球,当作平衡充油减震器的摆锤,协助分散大楼的摆汤。
