Film-collage sobre las utopías de fin de siglo, mediante el recurso de utilizar la figura y símbolo del mítico líder Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara como motor de la pregunta por las utopías de hoy. Con motivo del 30 aniversario de la muerte del Che Guevara, Birri viajó, cámara en mano, por varios países tras las huellas de este legendario personaje. Esta fecha es propicia para reflexionar sobre el mito y el hombre. Pero, sobre todo, es un pretexto para preguntarse sobre la vigencia y el significado de la utopía.
Um filme-colagem sobre as utopias do fim do século, ultilizando a figura do lendário líder Ernesto 'Che' Guevara para nos perguntarmos quais são as utopias de hoje. Para marcar o 30º aniversário da morte de Che Guevara, Birri viajou por vários países de câmera na mão, seguindo as pegadas do lendário personagem. Esta data é propícia para refletirmos sobre o mito eo homem. E, acima de tudo, é um pretexto para questionarmos a validade e o significado da utopia.
A film-collage about utopias of the end of the century, using the figure of the legendary leader Ernesto 'Che' Guevara to ask ourselves what are the utopias of today. To mark the 30th anniversary of the death of Che Guevara, Birri toured several countries, camera in hand, following in the footsteps of the legendary character. This date is appropriate to reflect on the myth and the man. And above all, it is a pretext to question the validity and meaning of utopia.

The transformation of China into a global superpower raises some of the most challenging questions of our time – and this revealing series seeks out the answers. Will this turn out to be China’s century or will the Red Dragon crash and burn? Niall Ferguson travels through this vast country to find out how a fifth of humanity can live under a Communist system of government with a capitalist economy when, according to all the laws of history, it should fall apart. Held together for more than 2000 years, firstly by imperial rule and now by an imperious Communist Party, what does China stand for? Ferguson talks to the people who know – including its new billionaires, survivors of Chairman Mao’s regime, ardent young nationalists and those defending China’s rural poor.

As the kings of England and the kings of France fought for possession of the crown of France, The Hundred Years’ War would become the longest and the bloodiest conflict in medieval history, replacing the feudal order with an order of nations and propelling France and England into the modern age. Appearing amidst the splendour of the medieval world, cultural historian Dr Nina Ramirez takes viewers on a journey through 116 years of riotous, plague-ridden warfare, exploring how, as the effects of warfare reverberated in every aspect of artistic, cultural and religious life, The Hundred Years’ War would give birth to two distinctive national identities representing the final divorce between France and England – effects of which can still be seen in rivalries today.
In this first episode, Dr Janina Ramirez explores the medieval Anglo-French conflict. Edward III crushes the flower of French knighthood at the Battle of Crecy.

In this last episode, Henry V has claimed the crown of France for his heirs, but to secure it the English must conquer all of France. Potent French resistance comes in the most unlikely form - an illiterate young peasant girl, Joan of Arc. Dr Janina Ramirez explores the longest and bloodiest divorce in history.

Filmmaker Marc Radomsky is third generation South African. His grandfather emigrated from Lithuania to escape pogroms. The family established their roots in Johannesburg and prospered. However Marc and his wife see that growing lawlessness and crime in post-Apartheid South Africa has driven the white community into gated communities where armed guards, attack dogs and barbed wire are the brutal signs of the need for increased security. Marc and his wife Vivianne have made the painful decision to emigrate to Australia. Their close-knit family, threatened with separation, tries to prevail upon the couple to reconsider. The camera captures the painful unravelling of their interconnected lives. Their parents will now be deprived of participating in the lives of their grandchildren, and their sobbing seven-year old tries to grasp why he must leave his dog behind. But leave they do, to an apparently welcoming new country, and hopefully a brighter future. Choosing Exile is a portrait of some of the current conditions in South Africa, as well as an intense portrait of the pain of emigration. College Adult

This landmark docu-drama re-examines the darkest hours of one of the 20th century's most remarkable heroes, combining fascinating re-evaluation of the epic and traumatic experiences of Winston Churchill in the First World War, and his contributions as Britain's greatest warlord. Disgraced by disasters in the Gallipoli wars, and with his political reputation in tatters, Churchill was all but `finished'. He was also tormented, for he knew that he was one of the very few political leaders opposed to the dreadful one note strategy of endless attrition in Flanders which was `chewing up a whole generation on barbed wire'. His invention of the tank and promotion of air power stemmed from his determination to find another strategy. Illustrating the extraordinary correspondence Churchill sent from the trenches to his wife Clementine, revealing intimate insights into his personal life, as well as life on the front, and with testimony from leading historians and military experts, this is the story of his fall – and his road to redemption.
