Journey to the Edge of the Universe, 2008
United Kingdom, United States
Journey to the Edge of the Universe is an excellent, very interesting, and fascinating film about the structure of our Universe, its mysteries and secrets, supported by excellent, bright, juicy, and beautiful graphics. Of particular interest in this movie is the structure of the narrative. Beginning with our solar system, you will travel through trillions of light-years back to the origins of our universe to the time of the so-called Big Bang. Some of the facts are fictional and created to make the viewer more comprehensible, but they don’t spoil the overall picture in the slightest.
Oceans, 2009
UK, Switzerland, Spain, USA, UAE
This documentary was directed by Jacques Perrin and Jacques Clouseau. Here the viewer also sees something that few people have the opportunity to see in real life – a completely different habitat, one might even say a different universe that exists side by side with our own – the depths of the seas and oceans.
Why do we dream, 2009
United Kingdom
Everyone has dreams or had them at least once. Where do they come from? What meaning do they have? Why do we dream? What do people and science know about dreams? Dreams are not just fantasies, visions. They play a huge role in our lives, affecting our memories, our learning abilities, our psyche, and even our health.
Home, 2009
France
This documentary is recommended by probably all CertifiedWriters from the research companies. The moviemakers have been visiting 53 countries for 18 months. The film is based on the tens of thousands of pictures and terabytes of video taken there. So much time they spent shooting from the air with a high-resolution camera. It is worth saying that such countries as China and Saudi Arabia banned filming from the air and most shots taken in India were confiscated.
Life Cycles, 2010

Chemistry. A Volatile History, 2010
United Kingdom
An unusual facet of our world’s history is that of the chemical elements, full of explosions, compounds, and decays. They are what people can see, eat and smell. They are the soil and the sea, the rivers, and the buildings. They are the tiny bricks of the great edifice called Earth. And it’s about their global and small achievements that Jim Al-Khalili, professor of physics theory, will tell the story of the discovery of the elements and the history of ordering them into a table in three issues.
Tomorrow’s World, 2010

Should we imagine?
