Navigating the Indian Ocean in a reconstruction of a 1,200-year-old Arab ship, held together by 100km of rope and 127,000 hand-sewn stitches. The Jewel will sail more than five thousand kilometres across the Indian Ocean and do battle with the Monsoon – but for sailors it can spell danger and even death. It took a year to build: the Jewel of Muscat – a reconstruction of a 1200 year old Arab ship, based on an ancient shipwreck. Built from more than 18 tonnes of wood, the ship is held together entirely by 100 km of rope in over 127,000 hand-sewn stitches. Now the Jewel will sail more than five thousand kilometres across the Indian Ocean and do battle with the Monsoon – the mighty rain soaked wind that turns the arid land it touches green. But for sailors it can spell danger and even death.

This is the true-crime story of the multimillion-dollar yuppie drug ring run by a then, twenty-six year old Larry Lavin and two of his classmates. In the high-flying 1980's, Larry Lavin was a clean-cut, Ivy-League-educated dentist living the good life in suburban Philadelphia. But, what his upper crust neighbors didn't know was that Lavin led a double life - one that would finally be exposed by a shocking narcotics investigation. Awash in sex, drugs and money, Lavin oversaw a cocaine conglomerate, buying and selling enough white powder to anesthetize thirteen Eastern seaboard states ... until the FBI cracked the ring. How was he able to create such a well-oiled network? And what brought about his untimely downfall?

This film shows the ship’s construction and launch. It tells the story of how she was sewn together without a single screw, nail or bolt and the mighty struggle to launch her.

American architect Cesar Pelli and his team use innovative technology to overcome obstacles and build the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

"What Killed the Mega Beasts?" is a TV movie about the mystery of what caused the great extinction from the Pleistocene to Holocene eras with several paleontologists to find out what happened with their theories. It aired on the Discovery Channel in 2002. The animation for the animals was done at Meteor Studios who also helped in making the animation from a program that aired in the previous year, When Dinosaurs Roamed America. The designs and models were reused in Before We Ruled the Earth which talked about early men trying to adapt in a world with giant animals.
