3:41 | 101 Videos      How Much Do You Know About Jellyfish? I learned a ton about jellyfish while producing this video. One fun fact that didn't make it into the final cut is about their digestive system. Jellyfish (except the comb jelly) eat and poop through the same orifice! Make sure to check out the rest of our 101 series, and read the featured article on jellyfish in the October 2018 issue of National Geographic. — Gabrielle Ewing, associate producer WATCH NOW SHARE Further: Scary, Squishy, Brainless, Beautiful: Inside the World of Jellyfish +

8:56 | Short Film Showcase      Behind the Mask of the World's Oldest Surviving Dramatic Art For over 60 years, Michishige Udaka has performed Noh, an ancient Japanese theatrical art that uses song, dance, and exquisite, hand-carved masks for its storytelling. He is the last craftsman who hews his masks traditionally, and each mask has special meaning, depicting powerful emotions and characters from spirits to noble people to warriors. In this short film from Edwin Lee, watch as Udaka carves masks from wood and shares his perspectives on keeping the 14th century tradition alive in the modern day. — Milaena Hamilton, associate producer WATCH NOW SHARE

7:10 | Short Film Showcase      Healing From a Civil War, These Children Choose Forgiveness Before seeing this film, I wasn't very familiar with the Central African Republic, which borders Chad, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and South Sudan. The stories of Bintou, a 12-year-old Muslim girl, and Gaus, a 9-year-old Christian boy, brought the realities of the country's civil war into sharp focus. The sectarian conflict, centered around religion, pitted the two groups against each other for two years and continues to this day. Filmmakers Lindsay Branham and Jon Kasbe hope to shed light on the crisis. — Rachel Link, producer WATCH NOW SHARE
