THE HITLER CONSPIRACIES

3 x 60 MINUTES
AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE FOR ALL PLATFORMS
A COMPANION DOCUMENTARY TO THE FEATURE FILM, VALKYRIE, STARRING TOM CRUISE - FOR RELEASE OCTOBER 3, 2008

When Adolf Hitler stormed to power in Germany during the 1930s, he experienced little opposition for his plans to re-build his adopted homeland in the aftermath of the First World War. Nevertheless, it may come as a surprise to discover that as early as 1938, even before the outbreak of World War II, conspiratorial groups had developed within the German army, with the objective of preventing Hitler from launching a global conflict.

The story of the German Resistance is one that is rarely heard, but the bravery of the conspirators, despite their lack of success in stopping Hitler in his tracks, is nothing short of heroic.

In 1944, Operation Valkyrie and Colonel Count Claus von Stauffenberg got within striking distance of assassinating the Fuhrer. In this three part series, journey through the rise and fall of Adolf Hitler, learn why Hitler lost World War II, and discover the remarkable assassination plot that very nearly ended Hitler’s reign of terror. With the release of VALKYRIE in February 2009, share with your audience the amazing story of von Stauffenberg and his courageous attempt to help save lives.

Available for Worldwide Broadcast and DVD

From the Great Pyramids to the Roman Empire and beyond. You will gain insight into what it must have been like to experience the Ancient Roman sport of Gladiatorial battle. Expert commentary and cutting-edge graphics make the distant past come alive—with you at the heart of the action! No other collection brings you this close to the Ancient World.

Episode 1: Rome and Pompeii - Imagine being among the bloodthirsty
thousands at a gladiator bout in the Colosseum or at the chariot races in Circus Maximus. Think of yourself amoung the decadent few in an ancient bath, theatre, temple, or palace. Pretend you are an eyewitness to the burning down of Nero's Rome. Feel the devastation caused by Mount Vesuvious in Pompeii. Thanks to the program's renowned team of Italian archeologists, historians , and 2-D video artists, this program makes it all possible with magnificent reconstructions of Rome and Pompeii as they existed 2,000 years ago. Satisfy your curiousity and experience these imperial cities and how the people in each one really lived.

Episode 2: Athens and Ancient Greece - Ancient Greece is history's most unique civilization-and at last you can see why. Computer graphics, archival film, and classic art combine to recreate places and events never before seen. Tour the Acropolis in the 5th century B.C. Stand before Delphi's Temple of Apollo where the oracle spoke. Gaze at the Statue of Athena and the Parthenon, the pride and joy of the people. Walk through the Agora, the Olympia (home of the Olympic Games), and the Temple of Zeus. Experience the daily life and customs of the people. Sail to Atlantis, the legendary lost continent.

Episode 3: The Land of the Pharaohs - Marvel at the way wondrous structures were created with simple tools and massive manpower. Through computer reconstructions and the work of Egyptologists, you will experience the true splendor of ancient Egypt by viewing two of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World-the Great Pyramids and the Pharos Lighthouse at Alexandria. Explore the Temple of Luxor, the Temple of Ammon at Karnak, the Temple of Ramses, the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, and the Great Temple of Abu Simbel with its four statues of Ramses II. No other program provides you with such an accurate sense of what ancient Egyptian life was really like.

Episode 4: Fall of the Aztec & Maya Empires - The brilliant and powerful cultures of Mesoamerica (Olmecs, Zapotecs, Toltecs, Aztecs and Maya) believed that one day the God-man Quetzalcoatl would return from the east to claim his rightful throne. This idea was supported by a complex calendar and close observations of the heavens. The coincidental arrival of the Spaniard Hernando Cortez at the prescribed time fulfilled the fatal doctrine of the great Empire cities. Even before the Spaniards arrived in the 1520s, strife between the rival city states had already weakened their lands. Many of the great Maya cities were deserted and left empty. This story not only traces the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs and Maya, but also follows the journeys, in 1839, of New York explorer John L. Stephens to these strange and wonderful cities. Using computer graphic reconstruction, animated maps, classic art, reenactment and beautiful on-location cinematography, the viewer sees Teotihuacn, Cholula, Monte Albn, Chichn Itz, Tenochtitln, Tikal, Copn, Uxmal, and Palenque as they might have looked 1000 years ago before defeat and decay brought about their tragic end.

THE DEFINITIVE HISTORY OF WWII

10 x 60 minutes
Available Worldwide for all platforms.
Production year: 2005

1939-1945. Six years. Within the scope of history, six years is a relatively short period of time, but these six years entirely changed the world by producing battles and shaping lives beyond anything civilized man had known before. Thirty-five million people died in this war and many of them were never in uniform. As for the men in uniform, these soldiers witnessed incredible events and performed duties that redefined bravery. There was no ambiguity regarding good and evil. When it all finally came to an end, the whole planet had to look forward to see what the future would bring, but they also had to look back to see what the world had learned.

In this new 10-part documentary series, compelling interviews with veterans who fought during the war recount personal experiences and provide an extraordinary new perspective on the greatest military struggle the world has ever endured. Rare and, in some cases, previously unseen war footage from archives all over the world has been assembled in this poignant and sometimes harrowing documentary which captures the heart and spirit of the twentieth century’s greatest conflict.

Episode 1: Pre-War Years
A step-by-step look at how the world went from one global war to the other, witnessing the rise of Hitler, as well as the other elements that helped Germany, Italy and Japan establish power; power for invasions that eventually became numerous and devastating in their destruction. By the end of the episode, we see the Nazi army on the march as they attempt to invade what was then a true prize for Adolf Hitler: Great Britain.

Episode 2: Attack on Great Britian
With France occupied by the Nazis and America yet to fight, Britain seemed quite alone as it took on Hitler and the entire German force.
This episode gives a detailed look at how the British coped, prepared and fought back. This chapter also lays the groundwork for the key battles that were then taking place in the Pacific, ending with the United States on the verge of war as it breaks off trade with Imperial Japan.

Episode 3: Pearl Harbor
By looking at the fully 60th year Anniversary Presentation of “Pearl Harbor, America’s Darkest Day”, this episode serves up a detailed examination into the hour-by-hour facts of December 7, 1941, as well as the controversial conspiracy theories still surrounding that fateful day. Five proud Pearl Harbor veterans are interviewed. By the end of this extensive hour in the Pacific, we return to Europe as Hitler invades Russia.

Episode 4: March Into Russia
Through the actual sights and sounds of the U.S., movie-house newsreel, we see the long and impossible journey that Nazi Germany made into Russia, a brutal and harrowing trek made all the more real by obtaining the information through the eyes and ears of the time:
the educational newsreel that brought America the facts, with all the patriotism and emotion of the moment. It’s history from a historic medium.

Episode 5: Birth of Special Forces
Jack Singlaub and E.F. Andy Andrews fought in two different theaters of war, for two different branches of the United States military.
They were elite soldiers, with Singlaub in one of the secretive Jedberg Teams of occupied France and Andrews in the early teams that would later evolve into the Navy Seals. Both of these men give us remarkable detailed interviews, taking into the duel theaters of World War II.

Episode 6: The Information War
Looking into the battles of the Pacific Theater, this hour explores the eents at Wake Island, as well as what happened in the Coral Sea.
Pacific front hero James Doolittle is also profiled, along with the way in which the U.S. was educated regarding the European Theater of war. It was a set of facts that isolationist America ignored for many years, but not the country had to realize that war was more than fighting Japan.

Episode 7: Battle of China
Getting to the core of the Asian war that in large part led up to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. This episode shows the true makings of the conflict between China and Japan; a conflict that was brewing for centuries. It’s a mismatch of both size and ambitions; we see how the tiny country of Japan grew into the kind of power that believed it could invade, fight, and conquer a full fifth of the Earth’s population.

Episode 8: Women In Wartime
The whole world is at war, on every continent. This hour goes everywhere and sees everything: to Guadal Canal, to the raid of Cologne, to the attacks on North Africa, to the battle of Stalingrad, to the breaking of the Leningrad siege, to the events that raged in the Bismarck Sea, to the end of the Tunisian campaign, to the Allies entering Sicily, as well as a look at U.S. bombers blasting the oil fields of Ploesti.

Episode 9: Turning the Tide
America lands at Salerno, the Allies enter Naples, the Moscow conference opens, Cassino is seized, American forces arrive on Guam, FDR receives a fourth term, Belgium is liberated, Germany is invaded, the battle of the Bulge takes place, Douglas MacArthur returns to the Philippines, the Burma Road is opened, U.S. Marines land on Iwo Jima, the United States enforces midnight curfews and Normandy experiences D-Day.

Episode 10: Final Victory
It’s the end of the war. The bombs are dropped on Japan, the Nazis have been defeated and the Allied soldiers are coming home. Post war news shows us just how close the Germans were to building their own super weapons. We also witness the war crimes trials that are held for both Japanese and German officers. The streets of America are mobbed for V-E Day and V-J Day… and the planet survives its second worldwide war.

Bonus Episode: INSIDE WWII
Take a deeper look inside WWII with this episode filled with inspirational information behind history’s most fascinating war.
Archival footage and original radio transmissions give the viewer an almost behind-the-scenes look at weaponry, maps, generals, and so much more to create a comprehensive inside look at the war that changed history.

GLADIATORS: BLOODSPORT OF THE COLOSSEUM

Available for Worldwide Broadcast and DVD

The Roman Colosseum was the setting for more terror, agony and horror than has ever been witnessed anywhere. Emperor Trajan gave one set of games that lasted 122 days, during which 11,000 people and 10,000 wild beasts were killed. Often the fresh blood of gladiators was used as a cure for epilepsy. It was also considered a good luck charm for brides-to-be to dip their combs in gladiator’s blood. Who were the gladiators? Where did they come from? How did they live? This fascinating video follows gladiators through their training, choice of costumes, weapons and style of combat to their rise to stardom and their inevitable violent death. So popular did some gladiators become that many Roman women were prepared to give anything to meet and be with the idol they worshiped. A compelling insight into the violent, deadly world of the gladiators.
