During World War Two, thousands of black volunteers from the Caribbean joined the fight against Nazi Germany. Their contribution to the war effort is often overlooked. They risked their lives for King and Empire and in the process they became more determined than ever to fight for racial equality. The presence of black servicemen and women in Britain was the beginning of Britain’s multicultural society as it stands today. Their experiences of life in Britain also changed life in the colonies, with far-reaching repercussions. Returning servicemen began to test the long-established ideas of imperial rule in an effort to secure independence for their countries. In this compelling and insightful film, veterans tell their vivid wartime stories and describe their experiences in Britain of the 1940s and afterwards.

It is 200 years before the birth of Christ and Rome is the new superpower of the ancient world. She believes she is invincible - but one man is destined to change that. He is a man bound by oath to avenge the wrongs inflicted on his home and, in pursuit of revenge, he will stop at nothing. Hannibal explores the man behind the myth, revealing what drove the 26-year-old to mastermind one of the most audacious military moves in history. With 40,000 soldiers and 37 elephants, he marched 1,500 miles to challenge his enemies on their own soil. It was an act so daring that few people believed it possible. Hannibal combines drama, the latest historical research and state-of-the-art CGI to bring this spectacular story to life.
