Journalist Yumi Araki explores her home country as it enters an era of great social and political transformation. She explores the hot-button issues that have both galvanised and polarised the nation, and meets the people at the forefront of change. In the first episode, Yumi meets the women who are re-defining their roles in Japan's patriarchal society, and the men forced to re-orientate themselves in this new social order. In episode two, Yumi dives into the country's extreme work culture, visiting obsessive farmers, overworked salarymen and the therapists trying to keep them sane. Next, Yumi visits hip hop dancing grannies and other members of the nation's sunset generation to find out how this fast-ageing country is coping with unprecedented demographic change. In the final episode, Yumi hangs out with bartending Buddhist monks, psychedelic pop artists, and shunned biracial communities to explore a national identity in flux and to decipher what it means to be Japanese today.

Singapore’s contact tracers give us unprecedented access to their modus operandi as they recount some of their biggest cases in the race to contain the spread of COVID-19. Contact tracers leap into action when the first COVID-19 case arrives from China. They have just 24 hours to track down everyone he has come in contact with on one of the most densely populated islands in the world to prevent the disease from spreading out of control.
Weeks later contact tracers are confounded by a growing cluster of infections at two churches that have no known links to China. The team scramble to uncover the source using state of the art technology and good old-fashioned detective skills. But then contact tracers are confronted by a sudden surge of infections in Singapore. With worrying reports of mutations and of people spreading the virus without ever showing symptoms, the only solution to curbing the pandemic may lie in tracing the virus back to its source – the animal kingdom.
