Simon Schama explores the history of British portraiture, revealing the stories behind some of the most powerful images in British art. In collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery in London, Schama examines the five ways in which this unique art-form has been used by both subject and artist - as a statement of power, a declaration of love, to promote fame, to capture ordinary people and to offer insight into the artists themselves. Discover how Elizabeth I used images of herself as political propaganda; how George Romney's obsessive depictions of Emma Hart helped her win the heart of Horatio Nelson; and how Henry Tonks's portraits of disfigured soldiers in World War One helped give these men back their identities. Finally, Schama explores the role of self-portraiture, using works ranging from Lucian Freud to Marc Quinn.

Hiroshima No Pika is an animated film made by Noriaki Tsuchimoto based on the award-winning children’s book by the Japanese artist Toshi Maruki. Through Maruki's heart-rending but beautiful water color illustrations, the film tells the story of a young girl and her family who live through the horrific bombing of Hiroshima. While the horror lies in the reality of the story, the beauty of the film’s articulation creates a sensitive and affecting movie for children and their parents to engage in together. Narrator Susan Sarandon, a longtime supporter of anti-nuclear war campaigns, lends her talent to this historical yet timely story, inspiring children to remember Hiroshima in the hope that it will never be repeated.

The Obersalzberg was an ordinary Bavarian mountain until Adolf Hitler discovered it in 1923. But on the site, despite the bombings and the will to make the past disappear, there are some remnants. Through field studies, survivors' stories, and computer-generated imagery, we will discover how a quiet little mountain was transformed into a gigantic military-political complex. 70 years after the end of the war, what are the Obersalzberg's trees hiding? What remains of the network of tunnels and the sprawling bunker system dug inside the mountain? How does history live on in every corner of Adolf Hitler's old Alpine landmark?
