Whether they're bringing supplies to Canadian diamond mines, supplying offshore oil rigs in Alaska or even charting new territory driving over frozen swamps and rivers to bring much-needed supplies to small towns, these extreme truckers face troubles from their machines and from Mother Nature.
Big History
When producers came up with the title "Big History" for this documentary series, they weren't thinking big, they were thinking really big. It presents a grand theory, postulating that every event throughout history is connected. Each episode begins with a traditional historic topic -- like the American Revolution -- before weaving together insights and evidence from other fields, including astronomy, chemistry and economics. In the end, the show puts together the puzzle pieces from 16 half-hour episodes and, in a two-hour finale, creates one grand narrative that reveals the unifying link among all events. Emmy-winning actor Bryan Cranston serves as narrator to -- as he puts it -- "be the voice of 13.7 billion years of history."
