- Gibba is an explorer passionate for adventure and mystery. Thanks to his metal detector, he explores places where important war events occurred, following traces in order to find treasures deeply buried in the Italian wilderness. From the Dolomites, to the Lake of Garda, you won't believe how many military and historical finds lie beneath the surface - and there is no obstacle that can stop his thirst for adventure.
- Coral reefs are the greatest living organism of this planet. They are the lung which permitted life to exist on Earth for hundreds of millions of years. But today something has changed. The coral reefs are dying. Should this happen we would be witnessing history's latest terrifying mass extinction. An event at which we would not just be simple spectators, we would be the victims. Who is killing this planet's lung? Three young scientists, Federico Fanti, Grace Young and Vanessa Loveburg are hot in pursuit. But how can a geologist and paleontologist, a robotic engineer and a marine biologist find the killer of an organism which does not follow the rhythms of human beings? By studying the crime scene; which is exactly like the one which has been taking place before our very eyes for millions of years. The one which transformed an ancient coral reef into rock: the Dolomites. The Dolomites are the key to understanding the evolution of coral reefs and to averting an apocalypse. From Washington DC, in the headquarters of the National Geography Laboratory, where Grace is designing marine drones for 3D scanning of coral reefs (and possibly also future exploration of planets like Europa and Encelado), to cost in front the Saadani National Park in Tanzania where Vanessa is studying the sickness of coral reefs on the island of Montserrat, to the beautiful scenario of the Dolomites, the "crime scene" but also an inexhaustible source of clues and beauty. These three scientists, with the help of the latest technology, will face the spectator with a horrifying truth: we are killing our planet. But not all is lost. There is a way of saving the coral reefs. And it is buried in the breathtaking views of the Dolomites.
- In one of the most hostile environment, the mountain, our protagonists are ready to face the gorge which opens under them. In Trento a team of heroes risk their own life saving who tried to cross his limits. 2.000 interventions in the year, 1.500 hours of flight, 10.000 kilometers of terrain. 5 helicopters, 70 specialists 24h, 7 days a week. Thousands of lives saved. The series, composed by 6 episodes of 1 hour each, tells stories about mountain rescues with high adrenaline contents. But the mountain rescuer's work is not only assistance to daredevil base jumpers, hikers and alpinists who are in difficulty, it is also prevention to avoid accidents, avalanches, making safe disconnected paths, maintenance of inaccessible refuges and protection of the local fauna. In a magnificent scenario, considered UNESCO World Heritage, the Centre Nucleo Elicotteri of Trento invites us to give a look to a reality where the border between adventure and tragedy is feeble and fragile as a snow flake.
