S1 E1 The Trek: A Migrant Trail to America
本集简介

CNN's Nick Paton Walsh travels with thousands of migrants through the jungles of South and Central America and tells their stories of danger, grit, and determination to make it to America.

The journey through the Darien Gap is a perilous jungle crossing between Colombia and Panama that many migrants must face as they head north to seek asylum in the United States. Over five harrowing days, Paton Walsh hikes the entire 66-mile roadless route, documenting the heroism of everyday people, milked for cash by drug cartels and unwanted by any country, as they battle the dense rainforest in search of a better life.  In this episode, Paton Walsh hears the heartbreaking stories of his companions on the passage, from unaccompanied children, Venezuelan university students whose classmates have been killed, and a mother carrying her disabled daughter desperate for the medicine to treat her epileptic convulsions. As they traverse the mud-packed mountain slopes and treacherously opaque riverbeds, the dangerous trek reveals the enduring humanity of those who embark on this expedition together, sharing their already limited resources with the injured and helping the elderly carry heavy cargo.

How to Unscrew a Planet

CNN's Chief Climate Correspondent Bill Weir marks Earth Day with this captivating adventure, crossing the globe to interact with the most innovative players in the trillion-dollar race to remove carbon from the sea and sky. Since human activity has released a monster made of more than one trillion tons of carbon into the Earth's atmosphere, innovators and investors are joining the global race against time to defeat it. With tools that include everything from Icelandic geysers to humpback whales, they are putting down stakes in the most significant new industry you've never heard of.

From Silicon Valley to Cambridge and aboard hot air balloons in the Swiss Alps and fishing boats in Maine, Weir searches for perspective, hope, and ideas. "If science and stone-cold evidence are telling us that the future is screwed, how do we unscrew a planet?" Weir said, explaining the show's inspiration. "I went looking for the biggest, boldest ideas in planetary repair and came back blown away, both by the scale of the challenge and the wave of new ideas being put into action every day."

Weir analyzes innovative carbon removal techniques that mimic nature itself, including spraying the ocean with artificial whale feces made of volcanic ash, creating synthetic clouds made of seawater mist, and sinking carbon-absorbing seaweed buoys to the bottom of the ocean. He speaks with leading experts in their field, including Swiss explorer and environmentalist Bertrand Piccard who was the first person to complete a non-stop balloon flight around the globe, former Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK Government and founder of the Center for Climate Repair at Cambridge University Sir David King, and Silicon Valley titan Peter Reinhardt, who co-founded and is CEO of carbon removal tech company Charm Industrial®.
