Episode 1 • Dec 03, 2016
Enforcement
At the farthest reach of the planet, Capt Peter Hammarstedt and Capt Sid Chakravarty of the environmental group Sea Shepherd risk their lives and the lives of their crew to patrol the Antarctic to stop illegal poachers. Aboard the ship, Bob Barker, Capt Peter finds the Thunder, a rogue fishing vessels so infamous that Interpol has an alert out for it. If they can successfully corner and shut down the Thunder, they could save masses of Antarctic toothfish from illegal slaughter. The poachers have a dangerous reputation and the Sea Shepherd captains know the mission will be risky. In Tanzania, the destruction of coral reefs by blast fishing - which uses explosives for mass kills - now threatens the legal fishing industry, which both supports and feeds some 18 million people along the coast. J.D. Kotze, a fishing crimes investigator and former South African police captain, joins an undercover team out to arrest the top explosives dealer and cut off the reckless industry at its root. "If we don't stop them," he promises, "there's going to be chaos." With a seafood industry worth $7 billion a year, Thailand is ripe for criminal fishing activity.The money induces trawling poachers to ravage the nation's traditional fishing grounds. Investigative journalist Jim Wickens meets with an angry fisherman who takes him, under cover of darkness, to a national park. There, they find a cluster of trawlers casting nets illegally and are met with hostility.
Episode 2 • Dec 03, 2016
Who's the Bad Guy?
In Antarctica, excitement and anxiety rise as Capt Peter Hammarstedt and the crew of Sea Shepherd's Bob Barker go in dogged pursuit of the notorious poaching vessel, the Thunder, that leads them into a dangerous ice field that can trap and crush a ship in a matter of hours. As the chase heats up, a tense - and potentially dangerous - encounter looms. Eight hundred miles away, a second Sea Shepherd vessel, the Sam Simon captained by Sid Chakravarty struggles to haul up illegal gill nets that are wreaking havoc on all the marine life in the area. In Tanzania, JD, Mike and the team capture an explosives dealer and begin an undercover sting operation that gradually leads them up the chain of command to the so-called "superdealer," for whom they set a trap. Journalist Jim Wickens joins a patrol to crack down on illegal fishing in Palau's national waters, which are a protected shark sanctuary. The enforcement team comes across a Vietnamese boat loaded with shark fins, and must now produce hard evidence to arrest the poachers.
Episode 3 • Dec 10, 2016
Engage the Enemy
Tension escalates in Antarctica as the Thunder takes desperate measures to shake off pursuit by the Sea Shepherds. On the Bob Barker, Capt Peter narrowly avoids getting rammed by the poacher ship. Sea Shepherd's second boat the Sam Simon arrives in time to ramp up the pressure on Thunder. Along the Palau/Philippines border, the patrol ship comes across a "mother boat," with a dozen of smaller boats attached to it. Journalist Jim Wickens encounters a weary assortment of poor Filipino fishermen, including a small boy who has been dragged out of school by his own father to fish for $100 a month. Their fragile boats, which are taken into the Pacific Ocean on daily fishing runs, are hauled in and their illegal catches confiscated. An intricate sting operation goes into play in Tanzania, where cameras track the dramatic arrest of J4, the "superdealer" whose explosives drive the bomb-fishing industry.
Episode 4 • Dec 10, 2016
Truth and Lies
The Sea Shepherds approach the Thunder in a small boat, making an effort to communicate directly with crew of Thunder by throwing messages in a bottle onto the poacher's ship. Suddenly a man in a black balaclava appears on deck and hurls bolts and flares at the activists and someone is hit. Unexpectedly, the Sea Shepherd's effort is bolstered by the sudden arrival of a commercial fishing boat that joins them in the fight. Greenpeace's flagship vessel, the Rainbow Warrior patrols the Pacific Ocean on the lookout for illegal shark fishing, an industry that feeds the demand for shark fins as a delicacy of Chinese cuisine. When a captain allows them to inspect his boat, the environmentalists explore deep within the vessel to discover a prolific, and illegal, bounty. In Tanzania, the criminal investigation leads J.D. Kotze and his team to a motherlode of explosives, as well as a cache of materials used for bomb-making. Now in custody, superdealer J4 gets the third degree as investigators seek more information.
Episode 5 • Dec 17, 2016
Life and Death
The captain of the Thunder sends out a mayday alert and calls on Sea Shepherd to rescue his crew. Jim Wickens turns his focus to high seas slavery in Indonesia. And Greenpeace clashes with fishermen while protecting the rare vaquita porpoise.
Episode 6 • Dec 17, 2016
Perseverance
As the Thunder sinks, Sea Shepherd race to collect evidence of the vessel's illegal activity. In Mexico, the crew of the Farley Mowat rescue a large whale. And in Indonesia, Jim Wickens joins a dramatic chase that results in the destruction of 3 boats.

Cries from Syria

CRIES FROM SYRIA is a searing, comprehensive account of a brutal five-year conflict from the inside out, drawing on hundreds of hours of war footage from Syrian activists and citizen journalists, as well as testimony from child protesters, leaders of the revolution, human rights defenders, ordinary citizens, and high-ranking army generals who defected from the government. Their collective stories are a cry for attention and help from a world that little understands their reality or agrees on what to do about it. A documentary by Evgeny Afineevsky, director of the Oscar-nominated film WINTER ON FIRE, CRIES FROM SYRIA premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
