- An in-depth look into how the World of Darkness and Vampire: The Masquerade created a phenomenon in the 1990's - a zeitgeist that helped shape film, literature, fashion, club culture, and ultimately fans, whose lives it forever altered.
- Can games change the world? With cities everywhere struggling to cope with the population growth that increased urbanisation brings, can video games be harnessed to help the residents, especially young people, take part in planning, and fixing their own cities. Today public spaces and entire cities are being designed, planned and played through the medium of games. The result of this "civic gamification" is that city architecture and urban planning is being democratized. Cities have become the ground zero for digital innovation and the debate about how our cities evolve has suddenly gone viral. We follow three game companies navigating the space where urban planning and gaming meet. Lydia Winters at the game developer Mojang, the creators of Minecraft, Paradox Interactive and the game Cities: Skylines and José Sanches and his indie game Block'hood. How will our cities look in 20-100 years time?
- Christina became the queen of Sweden while still a child. Under the regency of the imperial chancellor, she was brought up much like a man. Yet Christina grew up to be a wild and capricious woman. Against the will of her guardians, she developed her own policies and ended the Thirty Years' War for Sweden. She was celebrated as a princess of peace and the plan was for her to marry her cousin Karl Gustav and bear heirs to carry on the Vasa dynasty. But Christina had no desire to be subordinate to a man. She abdicated the throne, left behind all her duties, converted to Roman Catholicism and moved to Rome, where the "traitor" hosted rounds of glittering parties. Pope Alexander VII appointed his secretary to be Christina's minder. It was the beginning of a complicated and dramatic love story.
