Le Petit Santos
From the São Paulo countryside to Belle Époque Paris, we are introduced to the many faces of Alberto Santos Dumont. The pursuit of the dream of flight takes him to the balloonist Lachambre's studio in Paris, where Santos Dumont begins to experiment with a new idea: the dirigible balloon. His pioneering spirit foreshadows new times in the skies of Paris and the world.

O Prêmio Deutsch
Henri Deutsch, one of the founders of the Aéro-Club de France, announces a race around the Eiffel Tower for a prize of 100, 000 francs. This huge amount causes indignation among the working class, and the Aéro-Club comes under heavy pressure from the public opinion. In a master stroke, Santos Dumont announces that he will donate the prize to the poor if he wins.

Por Ares Nunca Dantes Navegados
After leaving the Aéro-Club de France, Santos Dumont is invited to an air race at the St. Louis Universal Exposition. But sabotage to Dumont's airship makes him return to Paris to continue his experiments. Faced with her aunt's pressure to marry, Aída decides to take her fate into her own hands by swapping lace gloves for mechanic ones.

Mais Pesado que O Ar
The death of his master, Henri Lachambre, severely shakes Santos Dumont. Blériot and Voisin work on the design of an airplane while Santos indulges in leisure. The Archdeacon Prize promises to crown the first to fly a distance of over 25 meters with a "heavier-than-air". Working in secrecy, Santos Dumont develops what will be his most famous creation: the 14-bis.

O Voo da Libélula
There seemed to be nothing left for Santos Dumont to conquer. However, the Grand Prix d'Aviation reveals a new star - the young pilot Henri Farman. Back in Brazil, Santos Dumont is praised for his achievements. With his Demoiselle airplane, he comes close to perfection. But all attention is not enough, any distraction my cause irreparable damage.

Ícaro
The atrocities of World War I instill feelings of guilt in Santos Dumont for his contribution to the development of aircraft.

To escape the conflict, he takes refuge in Petrópolis, where he prepares the most secretive project of his career.

FBI True
Each edition of FBI True focuses on dynamic insider conversations between agents when they meet at the FBI's favorite bar, the Arts & Crafts Beer Parlor, just down the block from their New York headquarters. It's a hallowed place where law enforcement colleagues talk frankly about the triumphs, tragedies and real truths of their jobs. In this relaxed setting, they share hair-raising stories of dangerous missions carried out by the FBI in the United States and worldwide. With everything on the line, what choices did they make? How did they keep their cool with a kidnapped child's life on the line, or with a bomb ticking in an unknown location, or a terrorist on the loose?
FBI True features never-before-seen surveillance video, interrogations with hostage takers and terrorists, and personal photos from the agents' collections. This is the FBI like you've never seen, as agents disclose what happened, and how they felt while working on some of the biggest and most compelling crimes of our time, revealing their fears and exulting in their victories. Viewers will get a spine-tingling look inside the manhunt for a bomber responsible for injuring 30 people in Manhattan; the desperate search to find Hannah Anderson, a high school cheerleader kidnapped in California; the command center at Waco as agents helplessly watched women and children consumed by fire as the David Koresh's cult compound ignited; the complex search for the Beltway snipers in Washington, DC; the frustrating effort to find the terrorists who attacked the U.S. mission in Benghazi killing the ambassador; and the search for the brutal Boston mob leader Whitey Bulger.
