- As one of the most volcanic countries on earth and home to Europe's largest glacier, Iceland has earned the nickname "Land of Fire and Ice". However, climate change is impacting on these two distinctive features threatening to redefine the geological composition of this Arctic island nation. This new documentary from environmental filmmaker Mark Terry includes exclusive footage of the 2021 eruption of Fagradalsfjall, a volcano that has been dormant for 6,000 years. Warming temperatures are melting glaciers here, as they are to all ice around the world, but in Iceland it is at an alarming rate, nearly 150 meters a year! Warming sea water surrounding the shores of Iceland are also contributing to this accelerate decline in land ice as warm water creeps underneath glacial beds. The warming North Atlantic is also impacting on the eco-system of Iceland: coldwater species of marine life are moving further north while equatorial species are replacing them. Iceland's bird populations are having trouble adapting to this new diet as their numbers are falling as much as 37% in the past ten years. New populations of Humpback and Minke whales are contributing to this decline in food supply for the birds of Iceland as they are consuming most of the krill and capelin the birds usually eat. In recent years, baby puffins (pufflings), growing impatient for their parents' return from hunting expeditions, have begun wandering into towns attracted by the bright lights. They are incapable of returning home causing local people to take them in are raise the chicks themselves. And while major changes in Iceland's environment continue to threaten the 340,000 inhabitants here, climate change is also having a positive impact on the economy. In the past five years, tourism - in particular, eco-tourism - has become the number one industry here while the fishing and sale of mackerel - a new fish to these waters - represents the third biggest industry. This one-hour documentary special from decorated polar explorer and award-winning environmental documentary filmmaker Mark Terry (The Antarctica Challenge, The Polar Explorer), chronicles these changes and more during his 2018 circumnavigation of the island nation. Will Icelanders welcome the impacts of climate change with open arms or will they flee the land of fire and ice as floods of lava and water make the country uninhabitable?

- During the Second World War, as Canada was embroiled in violent conflict with the Axis Powers, nearly 25,000 Canadians of German, Italian and Japanese origin were arrested and interned as "enemy aliens". Internment, the indefinite imprisonment or confinement of a group of people in a time of crisis, was the Canadian government's reaction to a perceived threat posed by individuals of questionable loyalty. The Canadian government and public feared that if Italian, German and Japanese Canadians were disloyal, then they could commit sabotage and other subversive acts that would endanger lives and threaten the Canadian war effort. As the theory went, isolating disloyal citizens from the rest of the Canadian population contained the threat. Mass internment, especially of Japanese-Canadians, is undoubtedly a dark chapter in Canadian history. Over 20,000 Japanese-Canadians were subject to deprivation and displacement which was far out of proportion with the threat posed to Canada by that community. Historians and Japanese redress campaigners have rightfully labeled this a "War on Ethnicity". But what about the internment of Italian Canadians? Thousands of Italian Canadians were arrested in the wake of Fascist Italy's declaration of war on the United Kingdom and its allies in June 1940. The arrest and internment of Italian Canadians also had clear-cut repercussions for that community, some of which linger to the present day. The controversy and debate surrounding this issue is what historians and filmmakers refer to as "The Italian Question".
