LETHAL
EXPERIMENTS
Commercial espionage plays an
important part in the business world.
The race to find the latest and most
lucrative innovation has become more
elaborate with fierce competition
pushing companies to be deceitful,
to commit theft, in some cases even
murder. The first spying scandal
involving German industrial tycoon
Eberhard Hoesch and the Formula
One espionage controversy between
Ferrari and McLaren, are perfect
examples of how corporate sabotage
can escalate. In this era of data
breaches and cyber attacks, the
industrial and corporate worlds are
facing colossal challenges to protect
their technology and secrets.

SHALE
REVOLUTION
Year of production: 2015
The term “shale revolution” is the number
one topic in the world of economics
and business today. The prognosis is
astounding. By 2010 the United States will
save 30 billion dollars on electricity alone.
The shale deposits are enormous and any
country can derive a sufficient supply of
energy from those resources. But at what
price? The damage to environment from
shale oil production can be compared to
ecological catastrophe. France, Bulgaria
and Germany have already banned Shale
oil production as a result.

The world of 300 years ago was a deadly and
dangerous place. Today, scientific breakthroughs
have created a comfortable and safe environment.
How many lives have been lost in the name of
science and for the good of humanity? Where would
we be without Jenner, who created a vaccine for
smallpox, and Khavkin, who injected himself with the
plague? The heat and light we obtain from peaceful
nuclear power have come at a cost of thousands of
scientists’ lives. The future of the Earth and distant
planets depends on space exploration. Yet every
single space flight and space-walk represents a
highly dangerous experiment. Dozens of heroes have
given their lives for science. Many of them are well
known; but many have been wrongly forgotten...
CHEMISTRY.
THE DISARMAMENT
FORMULA
Year of production: 2014
Chemical weapons remain in only half a dozen countries.
Eliminating them reduces the risk of chemical attacks
by terrorists. While storing these weapons is difficult,
destroying them is a conundrum.The safest technology
for destruction – the “wet” method — was invented
in Russia. So why do other countries such as the US
choose to use the “dry” method, which is less effective?
