飞翔的艺术

　　Hidden Kingdoms is an innovative new series from the BBC's Natural History Unit. For the first time it takes the viewer into a unique and unexplored miniature world, immersing you into the action-packed lives of the planet's smaller animals.
　　Based in six of the planet’s most iconic landscapes: the open plains of Africa’s savannah, Arizona’s desert, the forests of Borneo, the woodlands of North America and the urban jungles of Rio and Tokyo. We’ll experience and see these habitats from a new visual perspective, pushing between blades of grass will feel like journeying deep into the densest jungle, while running from a hunting lizard will feel like a visit to Jurassic Park.
　　
　　This is a different approach to a traditional wildlife series. Based entirely on biologically accurate behaviour, it employs a unique range of filming techniques and constructed storytelling to recreate these animals' own distinctive perspectives and to illustrate the dynamism of their lives.
　　Journey behind the scenes with Hidden Kingdoms to explore some of the techniques used to create this unique viewpoint, and why they were so important when revealing behaviour never before filmed.

　　阿隆·埃尔南德斯来自康涅狄格州布里斯托尔，是一名天赋异禀的年轻足球运动员，他迅速实现了自己的抱负，在一个顶级学院项目中踢球，然后在 20 岁时入选美国国家橄榄球联盟。但在 2013 年，埃尔南德斯刚刚与新英格兰爱国者队签下一份价值 4000 万美元的五年期合约，之后却因为自辛普森杀妻案以来涉及美国运动员的最著名的一起谋杀案而变得家喻户晓。埃尔南德斯因残忍杀害奥丁·劳埃德和两个波士顿地区的男人而接受审判，并就此打开了潘多拉魔盒，揭示了一系列秘密：一段混乱和饱受虐待的成长经历、对帮派生活的日益迷恋以及其他种种，皆描绘了他暴力行为背后隐藏着的巨大动机。
　　《杀手心：剖析阿隆·埃尔南德斯》是一部由三部分组成的纪录片系列，其中包括独家的庭审录像、埃尔南德斯从监狱打来的电话，以及与认识埃尔南德斯和劳埃德的人的访谈，本剧集仔细研究了导致审判、定罪和看似拥有一切的运动员之死的各因素的“完美风暴”。

　　Ancient Worlds is about people and places, politics and economics, art and war, trade and technology, but above all it’s the story of the painful birth and difficult growth of a radical idea first tried and tested some six thousand years ago, and which we are still struggling with today; civilisation. Civilisation has not come easily; it’s something we’ve had to fight hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain, and the greatest threats to it have come from our own talents for destruction. But when we’ve managed to get it right, the benefits have been enormous.
　　When we talk about the ancient world we tend to think of rare and exotic artefacts or the monumental remains of epic architecture; but these are just the empty shells that got left behind when the tide of history turned! The living creatures, the civilisations, that once inhabited these shells were rarely if ever static or stately; they were dynamic, chaotic, and always threatening to spin out of control, because civilisation is based on an improbable idea; that strangers can live and work together in dense urban settings, forging new allegiances that replace the natural ties of family, clan or tribe. It’s an idea we’re still coming to terms with today, but one of the best ways to understand the challenges that are involved is to look at how our ancestors tackled them the first time around.
　　From ancient Iraq to Imperial Rome, Ancient Worlds examines how our ancestors struggled with the levers of religion and politics, art and culture, war and diplomacy, technology and trade in order to keep the complex machinery of their civilisations turning over. Their insights and blind-spots, their breakthroughs and dead ends, their triumphs and disasters are the milestones on the long and winding road that leads directly from their ancient to our modern world.
