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.

The reign of Hatshepsut during Egypt's New Kingdom has sparked debate throughout time. Female kingship was not unprecedented in Egypt's history. But her ascension to the throne while Regent to the young heir, Thutmose III, has been described as controversial. To legitimize her claim to the throne, she emphasized her Divine Conception and Birth, claiming the god Amun to be her father. Military campaigns and an expedition to the land of Punt were dedicated to Amun. To enhance her relationship with the Amun-Re cult, she embarked on a multitude of public works. Her mortuary temple at Deir el-Bahri and the additions she made at Karnak are prime examples. Under Hatshepsut's reign, the Amun priesthood gained considerable power and was richly rewarded for their support. Her relationship with Thutmose III has provoked much debate by historians. Some described her as 'a merciless, evil usurper', while others have a more positive view. Some believe that, under her guidance Thutmose III became one of the greatest 'warrior pharaohs' of the New Kingdom.

In Vietnam, one of the last communist nations, Ho Chi Minh remains the father figure for the nation. For many in the West there remains a fascination with Uncle Ho, the frail, idealistic leader who against seemingly insurmountable odds humiliated two of the world's strongest armies, the American and the French. This film, based on newsreel footage and interviews with contemporaries, traces the story of his life. Born into a Mandarin family in 1890 when Indochina was part of the French empire, he gravitated towards Paris like many in his generation. There he founded the Indochinese Communist Party, calling for an independent Indochina composed of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The following years were spent between Russia and Asia where he learned guerrilla warfare from Mao Tse Tung. His big chance came during World War II when the Japanese occupied Indochina. The film goes on to show how his army, the Viet Minh, drove them out and then went on to fight the French for control of the country. Independence for North Vietnam was achieved with the defeat of the French at Dien Bien Phu. He never lived to see the victory over the Americans or the unification of Vietnam.
