| Programming Highlights: Discovery World HD Reveals a Different View of a Continent with AN AFRICAN JOURNEY WITH JONATHAN DIMBLEBY, Sept. 7 |
| Posted
on Saturday, August 21, 2010 - 09:00 PM |
Africa consists of more than 50 countries; each one unique. With its population of more than a billion, Africa – where homo sapiens originated at least 100,000 years ago – is the most culturally and ethnically diverse continent on the planet. But the peoples of Africa are widely regarded as victims of hunger, disease, poverty and conflict and the vast continent in which they live as one unmitigated disaster. With the insight of one of the U.K.’s most respected journalists and the bold high-definition viewing experience of Discovery World HD, comes AN AFRICAN JOURNEY WITH JONATHAN DIMBLEBY which challenges a host of prevailing misconceptions and paints the continent of Africa in an entirely new and refreshing light. Premiering Tuesday, September 7 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, this three-part series reveals Africa as it is: vibrant with energy, imagination, innovation, and populated by a wide range of individuals and communities who face great challenges but approach them with optimism and resolve. Of course there are victims and there are disasters, but to view Africa exclusively through that narrow prism is to short-change the truth and to miss the point.

| Programming Highlights: Dissecting the Most Powerful Weapons of the Ancient World, Discovery HD Presents M5: WEAPONS OF WAR, June 4 |
| Posted
on Sunday, May 30, 2010 - 05:37 PM |
A simple bow and arrow made the ancient Mongolians virtually unconquerable; the first-ever handgun allowed the Europeans to forever change the landscape of warfare; a specially-designed sword helped define the Islamic Empire for over 1,000 years. Helping carve out the largest and most influential empires in human history, weapons of war shaped the world we live in today. Premiering Friday, June 4 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Discovery HD, M5: WEAPONS OF WAR brings together the technology, science and tradition of the most significant weapons of our past – the Mongol composite bow, the Spanish arquebus and the Damascus sword – and tests them against the mythology of ancient history. Shot in arresting High Definition, and enhanced with CGI and authentic reenactments, M5: WEAPONS OF WAR recreates these magnificent and long-forgotten weapons, resurrects their ancient manufacturing methods and brings them – and their warriors – back to life.
