Todd Sampson's Why? - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Donor Dads
The complexities of unregulated sperm donation sees half brothers and sisters all around the world. We meet a father who has children in the hundreds. Many of the mothers can't afford IVF and instead choose to go down the private path to take away some of the anonymity and costs associated with donor clinics.
Donor Dads is not a story about right or wrong. It is a story about autonomy, intention and consequence. It explores how hope, desire and access are reshaping the most fundamental human act: creating life. In a world where biology can be shared with a message and a meeting point, regulation lags behind reality, and the long-term impacts remain unknown.
Doomsday Preppers
They are stockpiling food and weapons, learning survival skills, and building bunkers beneath the earth. To them, collapse is not a distant fantasy or a Hollywood trope. It is a real and imminent possibility. They call themselves preppers.
Todd spends a week embedded with the family and the group, observing their routines and training. What quickly becomes apparent is the depth of their commitment. This is not casual contingency planning. This is a way of life.
But the more Todd witnesses, the more he begins to question the driving force behind it all. Why devote so much time, energy and resources to events that may never happen?
Alien Church
We meet devout members of the Aetherius Society, an international religion that believes life on Earth is guided by advanced extra-terrestrial civilisations existing in other realms on planets in our solar system.
BASE Jumpers
How did risking your life become a hobby? Combine a healthy dose of social media, the addictive rush of adrenaline, and the rise in extreme sports, like free climbing and BASE jumping, and you might get close to an answer.

Reacher
Reacher follows Jack Reacher, a veteran military police investigator who has just recently entered civilian life. Reacher is a drifter, carrying no phone and the barest of essentials as he travels the country and explores the nation he once served. When Reacher arrives in the small town of Margrave, Georgia, he finds a community grappling with its first homicide in 20 years. The cops immediately arrest him and eyewitnesses claim to place Reacher at the scene of the crime. While he works to prove his innocence, a deep-seated conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will require Reacher's keen mind and hard-hitting fists to deal with. One thing above all is for sure: They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.
The Rookie
The Rookie is inspired by a true story. John Nolan is the oldest rookie in the LAPD. At an age where most are at the peak of their career, Nolan cast aside his comfortable, small town life and moved to L.A. to pursue his dream of being a cop. Now, surrounded by rookies twenty years his junior, Nolan must navigate the dangerous, humorous and unpredictable world of a "young" cop, determined to make his second shot at life count.
