Enslaved

Channel: S3
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Documentary Series, Docu-Reality, Miniseries

Enslaved

Led by actor and activist Samuel L. Jackson, Enslaved sheds new light on 400 years of human trafficking, from Africa to the New World.

Based on a DNA test identifying his ancestral tribe, the series traces Jackson's personal journey from the US to Gabon for his induction into the Benga tribe, with rare and unprecedented access to secret ceremonies and local customs.

Using new diving technology - such as advanced 3D mapping and ground-penetrating radar - to locate and examine sunken slave ships on three continents, the series reveals an entirely new perspective on the history of the transatlantic slave trade.

The series also tracks the efforts of Diving with a Purpose (DWP), a collaborating organisation with The National Association of Black Scuba Divers (NABS), as they search for and locate six slave ships that sank, drowning the enslaved humans aboard.

Featuring the most dives ever made on sunken slave ships, Enslaved also chronicles the first positive identification of a "Freedom Ship," an American schooner that ferried African American runaways to Canada.

Each episode follows three separate storylines: the quest for a sunken slave ship, a personal journey by Samuel L. Jackson and a historical investigation led by investigative journalists Simcha Jacobovici and Afua Hirsch.

Enslaved also celebrates stories of resistance, accomplishment and hope; the cultures left behind and the culture that we live in presently... a culture that, in many ways, was born in the bowels of those sunken slave ships.

Ten young, hot singles from around the world come together in a tropical paradise for what they think will be the most exotic and erotic summer of their lives.

No kissing, no heavy petting, and no self-gratification of any kind. With every slip, the prize money goes down.

In this luxury no-bone zone, will the serial singletons be able to form deeper emotional connections? Or will the temptation simply be too hot to handle?
 

Tournament of Champions 2

Channel: Food Network (DStv 175)
TX Time: 19h55
Genre: Reality Competition, Food

Tournament of Champions 2

Guy Fieri hosts and executive produces this culinary competition in which 16 of the USA's most celebrated chefs face-off on Tournament of Champions.

The chefs go head-to-head in a single elimination bracket-style competition, where a randomizer machine determines the protein, produce, equipment, cooking style and time for each of the cook-offs.

The pressure is on and emotions are high throughout this unpredictable tournament, as the elite chefs enter this blind competition not knowing who their opponents will be, or what cooking challenges they will face.

The intensity increases in each sudden-death each round of the tournament as the coveted spots decrease from 16 to eight in the second round, then to four, until there are only two chefs in the final round.

In the Season 2 premiere, "West Wild Card Play-In": Tournament of Champions is back!

There were so many chefs clamouring to get into the bracket that Guy Fieri expanded the tournament to include two wild card play-in rounds.

Four incredible chefs from the West compete in exciting sudden death culinary matches, and the last chef standing will win the coveted 8th seed in the West bracket.

The Holzer Files 2

The Holzer Files returns with all-new investigations into Hans Holzer's paranormal mysteries.

A dedicated paranormal team - led by paranormal investigator Dave Schrader, 'psychic medium' Cindy Kaza and equipment technician Shane Pittman - revisits Hans Holzer's most captivating cases.

With the help of Holzer's daughter, Alexandra Holzer, and researcher Gabe Roth, the team picks up where Holzer left off to re-examine the terrifying hauntings that he dedicated his life to researching.

The Holzer Files is a cryptic mystery, bound by threads of truth, the voices of the past and the exploration of modern paranormal pioneers.

Experience a chilling chase, fueled by Holzer's rediscovered archival files and haunting cinematography.

The second season, comprised of 13 one-hour episodes, follows the team on the haunted trail of legendary cases - from an elegant mansion in New York City, home to one of the world's most infamous hauntings; to the historic Maryland tavern that hid John Wilkes Booth after he shot Abraham Lincoln.

Holzer's four-decade exploration into hauntings like the Amityville Horror house helped spawn legions of supernatural enthusiasts, more than 120 books and even inspired Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis to write Ghostbusters.

In each episode, the team culls through thousands of Holzer's recently discovered documents, letters, photographs and chilling audio and visual recordings dating back to the 1950s.

Using his findings, team members track down recent developments from each haunting and head back to the location to reinvestigate with a fresh perspective, harnessing their own research, skills and expertise.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Devil in the Rock": The team ventures to the Massachusetts coast to follow up on Hans Holzer's 1964 investigation of the Bates Ship Chandlery.

As they delve deep into the property's past, they uncover a chilling undercurrent of darkness anchored in the rocky shores.
