Currently in production, “True-ish” follows Janet Paine, a well-intentioned but deeply insecure Manhattan PR executive with a specialty for smear campaigns. “A toxic build-up of stress, alcohol and miscommunication leads to her relocation to the Balkans for a job that sounds noble — director of outreach at a ‘peace lab’ — but in reality involves generating fake news to target political regimes on the fringes of the EU,” the film’s synopsis reads. “Desperate to make amends for past mistakes and show initiative, she ends up staging footage of atrocities that gets her into deeper and deeper trouble, with serious international consequences.”

本部纪录片是BBC地平线系列推出的一档探讨“过敏症”为命题的纪录片。五十年前，过敏症几乎不存在，然而目前却影响着三分之一的成年人和将近四成的儿童，席卷了整个西方世界。这种表现形式各异的疾病，能让你鼻子发痒、打喷嚏，甚至完全阻塞你的呼吸。为了寻找解决良方，本部纪录片将带领你踏上一次揭秘之旅，从最偏远的岛屿到被污染的中心加利福尼亚和英国，一路走访患病者和科学专家，发掘这个现代医学中最大的奥秘——为何我们会身处如此一个过敏的世界。 　　地平线系列纪录片是英国广播公司BBC制作的一档流行并且播放已久的科学纪录片，于1964年5月2日首播，到2013年为止已有49个系列超过1100集。本系列纪录片从历史、人文、宗教、地理、设计、艺术、生物、哲学、环保、伦理等多个方面，提供世界上最伟大科学家和哲学家一个可以交流他们看法和观点的平台，并将他们对世界的新看法引入到我们的日常知识中来的科教节目。

令人奇怪的是，过敏症只在西方世界不断增加。格瑞艾姆·鲁克教授认为人类对生存环境的改变会影响我们的微生物群落，这些细菌生活在我们体内，它们能使我们的免疫系统发生连锁反应。《地平线》把两个普通家庭的生活放到显微镜下，以此检验这个理论在现实生活中是否适用。从他们购买的食物到他们的洗手方式，这个实验能否找到过敏症增加的原因呢？

Changes to the bacteria that live inside all of us are responsible for increasing the number of people with allergies, suggests new research. 　　In this episode of Horizon, the show investigates this claim by conducting a unique experiment with two allergic families in order to find out just what it is in the modern world that is to blame. With a raft of mini cameras, GPS units and the very latest gene-sequencing technology, the show discovers how the western lifestyle is impacting their bacteria. Why are these changes making people allergic? And what can be done to put a stop to the allergy epidemic?
