Across the Pacific is a series about a great aviation milestone: the 1935 crossing of the Pacific Ocean by the Pan Am flying boat China Clipper. It features re-enactments, interviews, archival photographs, newsreels and feature films.
Airline executive Juan Trippe, pilot Charles Lindbergh, airplane builder Igor Sikorsky, and radio engineer Hugo Leuteritz join forces to build an airline to Latin America as Pan Am takes flight.

Inside a hospital battling COVID-19 in Northern Italy, doctors make life and death decisions. This is an intimate, exclusive story of one besieged ER doctor and her staff and patients, from the darkest days to the signs of hope.
