The Mormon Candidate was a 2012 BBC documentary that looks at the Mormon religion and the effect being a Mormon will have on then Presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

The church has a growing membership but is trying to rid itself of some of the stigma associated as a result of former practices such as Polygamy.The documentary does look at Romney's connections to a church were he was a preacher and how it would effect a run for presidency but in many ways it's a film about Mormonism in general.

Hell's Angel: Mother Teresa Of Calcutta

In this controversial 1994 documentary for Channel 4 in the UK Christopher Hitchens asks the question is Mother Teresa deserving of the saintly title portrayed by the church and  media ? Hitchens makes the case that Mother Teresa does more harm than good, her Home For The Dying in Calcutta no way tries to treat or cure the sick rather their heads are shaved and they are placed on stretchers to meet their faith. She had a stance pro foeticide and against contraception and was willing to meet it seemed with any world leaders or wealthy figures despite their humanitarian track record and with little effort to campaign them for change.

A documentary that some have said exposed Mother Teresa and some called a 'Hachet Job' on a person that dedicated their entire live to helping the poorest sickest people, you decide...

Dark Secrets Of Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton (1642-1726) is known as the founder of modern science, he changed the way we look at the world and in schools around the world kids are thought about the apple falling from the tree. The period after his laws of motion and universal gravitation were set forward in Newton's Principia has been referred to as the newtonian age. But there is another deeper and much darker side to Newton that lay undiscovered for hundreds of years, one of alchemy and extreme religious views.

In this 2005 Nova documentary we see how most of Newtons papers and studies were sold in 1926 to one John Maynard Keynes, Keynes continued to spend years trying to decipher much of the content. What he discovered but was mostly discovered by others through the years was a man who although viewed as a pure scientist had wider far reaching views and predictions on the universe around him. Why did Isaac Newton predict the world would end in 2060 ? What were his religions views and how could the man that explained gravity and invented calculus have such polar opinions.
