This is the colorful story of Mustafa Kemal, later known as Ataturk, the controversial and charismatic leader of Turkey after the first World War. The documentary traces the rise of modern Turkey, which acts as a bridge between Europe and the Middle East. Ataturk was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize even though his rise to power came from his role in the First World War. He established peace on the borders of Turkey in marked contrast to the expansionist old Ottoman Empire. His first and greatest reform was to secularize the country in order to bring it into the modern world. Under his leadership, women were emancipated, certain minorities were guaranteed equal rights, and the Latin alphabet replaced of Arabic script. Along with rare archival footage there are commentaries from experts such as Prof. Vamik Volkan and Prof. Geoffrey Lewis, and interviews with his adopted daughter, Ulku, with Suleyman Demirel, President of the Turkish Republic, and with the Patriach of the Orthodox church. Turkey holds a key role in the mid Eastern affairs, and this film will enlighten students about its history. High School College Adult

When the Duke and Duchess of Windsor arrived in Florida on 18th April, 1941, they were looking forward three days of relaxation. But unbeknown to them, the night before their ship docked, President Roosevelt had instructed an extraordinary covert intelligence exercise. Recently released under the US freedom of information act, his report, running to 227 pages, reveals that the Duke and Duchess of Windsor harboured pro-Nazi sympathies and that Edward was lined up to go back to the throne as a Nazi puppet if Hitler defeated Britain. And it's not just this FBI report that is so damning. Recently, a number of key documents have been released, as well as the sensational diaries of Sir Alan Lascelles, the Duke's private secretary. Together these prove that Edward VIII was indeed a traitor to his country and that his sympathies lay squarely with Hitler's regime. Now, for the first time is the full, inside story; a tale of treachery, corruption and depravity at the heart of the British monarchy - and one which could have changed the course of history.

A thrilling film which uses the written accounts of its perpetrators to show why The Gunpowder Plot remains the world's boldest ever terror conspiracy. Remarkably, the capture and relentless interrogation of eight of the 13 Gunpowder Plotters were all recorded in written accounts made at the time, and means that this docu-drama can use verbatim conversations and reactions to recreate every dramatic step of the two-year plot. Using drama sequences, location filming, the contemporary accounts and interviews with a number of present-day experts, The Gunpowder Plotters is an immersive and uniquely authentic thriller which has real global significance in the new age of terror which followed from 9/11.
