Coming up this season

Secrets of the Cirque: Doc Zone goes behind the curtain and under the stage to reveal how it's all done. The incredible logistics behind the Cirque du Soleil - the biggest road show in history.

Conspiracy Rising: The moon landings were faked. 9/11 was an inside job. Conspiracy theories are everywhere but how and why do we believe them?

Facebook Follies: Social networking is a great way to stay in touch and share information. But it's also a great way to break up a marriage, lose a job or wind up in jail.

Generation Boomerang: More and more young adults are moving back in with their parents - if they ever left in the first place. Is this a new stage of development, or a disastrous failure to launch?

Love, Hate and Propaganda: The Cold War: Cold War was a unique event in history. After World War 2, two powerful blocs, a democratic and capitalist west led by the United States and a communist world dominated by the Soviet Union faced each other. Each side claimed the other was an implacable ideological foe bent on the destruction of their way of life. This battle would never produce direct armed confrontation between the two countries, but it mobilized minds as never before. The Cold War was the ultimate psychological battle. Its weapons were love, hate and propaganda.
