YOUNG ADDICTIONS

Documentary series that aims to reveal the most shocking and curious stories behind the objects on display and stored in museums. Pictures painted with blood, ornaments with hidden information, fingerprints in engravings... All unveil it in this surprising series.

It is impossible to separate the proliferation of illegal mining, armed groups and drug trafficking. They are all part of the same terror mechanism. While in Europe gold is associated with purity, power and wealth, in Latin America the word gold resonates between tears and the creaking of trees.

Illegal gold mining involves laundering the assets of criminal groups, the destruction of biodiversity and ecosystems, pollution of rivers with mercury, health problems, extortion to the local population, corruption of institutions, child exploitation, prostitution, and the displacement of entire communities fleeing Colombia because of violence and fear.

The documentary explores the scientific details of the last volcanic process in Europe and the most long-lasting one in the Canarian Island of La Palma.  This has been one of the more destructive volcanic eruptions in the world.  

One year after the first outbreak, we see the first technical and scientific conclusions about a natural event that has transformed the geography, the society and the economy of an island already used to live with volcanos.  Experts who worked in the field share for the very first time, in this documentary, their results which will determine future volcanic studies. 

The Wind Sentries follows a study campaign by biologist Laura Gangoso on the remote islet of Alegranza in the northern Canary Islands. Over the course of more than 17 years studying the Eleonora's falcon population on this arid site, Laura has discovered a surprising synchronization of the falcon with the trade winds, on which it depends for survival. Her work links the survival of this species' nestlings to changes in wind patterns on a global scale, making them bioindicators of climate change.
