EP I: From the Source to the Gorge UNIVERSUM EP II: From the Forest to the Plains EP III: From the Plains to the Ocean

It begins as the world’s highest major river. It thun- ders through the planet’s biggest gorge and lows past Asia’s hotspots of biodiversity, teeming with wildlife. United with the Ganges, it forms the world’s greatest river delta. As it passes through each of the Earth’s climate zones the Sky River becomes a motor for the monsoon that determines a third of the world’s weather, dominating the lives of more than a billion people.

This groundbreaking documentary explores the entire length of the river whose Hindu name - Brahma- putra - means “Son of Creation”.

Episode One takes us from the glaciers, between 8,000-metre peaks, across Tibet’s high, dry and harsh semi-desert, where Chiru antelope race across the plateau at 100kph in the thin air, warmed by the inest of coats that make theirs the world’s most valuable leece. Then we descend 3,000 meters through the world’s deepest, longest (240km) and still barely explored Tsangpo Gorge.

Episode Two continues through the Gorge with its red pandas and isolated human settlements, emerging into India’s temperate forests where Gee’s golden langurs and macaques roam, and clouded leopards hunt. The river skirts round the Himalayas into Assam’s luxuriant green monsoon- and tea country, with its iconic wildlife: one-horned Picture: © ORF Universum / pre tv rhinos, elephants, black-tailed pythons – and the last wild pygmy hogs.

Hunters of the Caribbean: Spectacular action in Paradise. From the opening sequence of a sea turtle snared by a tiger shark it’s clear no animal, Hunt- er or Hunted, above or below the water - can make it through life without a strategy for survival.

Whales and Volcanoes: when volcanoes burst from the ocean, they attract unique life forms to their jungle valleys and black sandy beaches - and create deep sea chasms that pods of sperm whales enjoy so much, they never leave. Picture: © Flowmotion Film Corals and Clouds: These Caribbean coasts and islands, made out of once-living creatures, are now a labyrinth of life. Every year in a stunning synchro- nised display of coral spawning, the “lower animals” re-colonise the reefs. Inland, Caribbean cloud forests with their Quetzals are just as magical, but their sufocating run-of of sediment from logging is the corals’ biggest challenge.

Here groups of male sperm whales on their never-ending migration from the Arctic to the Ant- arctic, meet females. Humpback whales and gray whales break the surface – and blue whales come here too, to feed from the vast biomass produced in the ocean’s depths. Drifting up from the deep, plankton and krill attract huge schools of ish and squid. Portuguese Men ‘o’ War drift threateningly on the surface, while undersea caves host cannibal- istic shrimps, manta rays and moray eels. On the islands, the grassy craters of the volcanoes are a winter home to songbirds from Iceland, Russia and North America, while their craggy outer walls form nests for vast colonies of Cory’s Shearwaters.

Schladming – Magic Mountains

Part I: Land of the Chamois Part II: Land of the Champions

Schladming in Austria is not the best known of the country’s ski regions but it’s one of the inest – because it keeps a low proile and makes sure the season doesn’t dominate the landscape. That also means its wildlife is better protected than in normal mixed regions. Though this region is controlled by men, it is a hot spot for wild animals – and sometimes even the wolves come back to this territory, which once belonged to them.

Forest of Fantasies

On Christmas Eve, they say, the animals can talk. Peter Rosegger, one of Austria’s greatest writ- ers, turned this legend into a magical short story about his own childhood in Styria’s Alpine uplands. It’s one of Austria’s most fascinating landscapes: deep, dark forests lanked by steep mountain ridges, gentle meadows reaching up to exposed summits: in limitless shades of just one color: green.

Royal Icons – Field Marshall Radetzky HISTORY Field Marshall Radetzky was the hero the declining empire needed. He inspired Emperor Franz Joseph and the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire to the point where the Radetzkymarsch still reso- nates across the world on New Year’s Day. But his life wasn’t that simple, and not as luxurious as one might think.

Performed every year during the New Year’s concert, watched by 60 million people worldwide, the Radetzkymarsch reminds us all of Field Marshall Radetzky. He was the last of his kind, an old-school commander. The kind of hero a declining kingdom needed to look up to. For his 250th birthday, the director Wolfgang Winkler highlights the impact this commander had on Emperor Franz Joseph and how his wife repeatedly put them in inancial dif- iculty to the point where he had to mortgage his own grave.

Why did nobody prevent the events of September 11, 2001? Is the French secret service responsible for the at- tack on Charlie Hebdo? Was the irst moon landing a fake? Was Austria’s far-right party leader Jörg Haider killed by a communist group led by the Mos- sad? Who brings wars, conlicts, disasters and economic crises into the world? Quite simply: “YOU!

And who are you”? The Illuminati. The freemasons. CONSPIRACY The pharmaceutical cartel. The Jews. Secret services. In summary, conspirators who are in control of all the centers of power, such as politics and the media, are pulling the strings behind the scenes. They want nothing less than the global dominance of the world. In the social media age such conspiracy theories are experiencing a digital renaissance. The abundance of contradictory and partly totally ictitious information that has been brought to us from a number of sources has created a jungle of information that will deprive us of any orientation. How and what and whom can we still believe? Do we need clear enemy images and simple narra- tives to be able to endure this immensely complex world at all? Who provides what information? And who beneits from our fear of the uncertainty? “World Domination” consisting of a TV documentary and an interactive web application, is devoted to all these questions. The aim of this documentary is to make the foun- dation and emergence of conspiracy theories, their application, as well as their beneit and their benei- ciaries recognizable and thus easier to understand.

He was a ighter pilot in Vietnam, he has searched for (and found) treasures across the globe, he owns a gallery in Santa Fe (New Mexico) and he is rich. Very rich. When he was diagnosed with cancer 20 years ago, he decided to wake the adventurous spirit in people

and to memorialize himself through this intiative. FACTUAL He began to ill an old bronze chest with treasures: gold nuggets, golden coins, animal igurines from the same time as Christopher Columbus, antique japanese ornaments made of jade, gemstones. The total weight was of around 20 kilograms. For about four years, he hid this chest in the Rocky Mountains. Somewhere north of Santa Fe. He then published a poem giving away nine clues as to where it was hidden. If interpreted correctly, the poem leads you to the treasure. He gave ive additional clues in various interviews. Noone has found it yet. Or noone could prove having found it. And so it lies somewhere out there, and who else but two austrian children should ind it? Welcome to the Treasure Hunt!

Directed by Karina Fibich Produced by Vaughan Video for ORF III in association with the The Vienna Johann Strauss Orchestra can rightly Vienna Johann Strauss Orchestra claim to be one of the most authentic ensembles Available worldwide for interpreting the music of the Strauss dynasty. In 1966 — nearly 120 years after Johann Strauss I had founded the Strauss Orchestra, the great demand for high-quality interpretations of light music led a group of musicians in Vienna who belonged to the small ensemble of the Austrian Radio Orchestra to found the Vienna Johann Strauss Orchestra. The aim of new orchestra was to cultivate the music of the Strauss dynasty, together with so-called ‘light’ Viennese music. It was formed of forty-two musicians, that is to say the ensemble was the same size as that which, ac- cording to authentic accounts, was preferred by the members of the Strauss family.
