Lucy Worsley investigates the lies told about six of Europe's Royal dynasties. Welcome to a past that's blood-soaked and fiendish, where treachery plays out in beautiful palaces and on nightmarish battlefields. This isn't the polished version of royal history we're used to. Travelling across Europe in search of the truth, Lucy discovers the real - and far from regal - stories of Henry VIII's Reformation, Marie Antoinette's execution, the Russian Revolution, and more. This is history reinvigorated, where myths are gleefully smashed and lies are laid to rest.

The Atlantic's first feature documentary is the definitive inside story of the movement that has come to be known as the alt-right. With unprecedented access, White Noise tracks the rise of far-right nationalism by focusing on the lives of three of its main proponents: Mike Cernovich, a conspiracy theorist and sex blogger turned media entrepreneur; Lauren Southern, an anti-feminist, anti-immigration YouTube star; and Richard Spencer, a white-power ideologue. As white-nationalist violence surges in America and across the world, White Noise represents an urgent warning about the power of extremism, and where it's going next.

2019 is the 25th anniversary of the ANC and Nelson Mandela coming to power as liberators for oppressed people in South Africa. In Mandela's quest for equal opportunity for all citizens whatever their skin colour, education was supposed to be the central pillar. Three school students, aided by their teachers, want to join the success story this country was meant to become, post-Apartheid. Their backgrounds reflect the deep inequalities of the past but South Africa still has one of the worst schooling systems on the planet. Who will prosper, despite a broken education system and who will fail because of it?

Sanjeev Bhaskar explore the lives of the 20th century's greatest activists, examining the lives of Emmeline Pankhurst, Mahatma Gandhi, Helen Keller and Martin Luther King Jr. He'll assess the qualities that made them great, and the groundbreaking ways in which each of them fought for their causes. The 20th Century was the century of activism. It was a century in which a series of extraordinarily brave individuals encouraged whole swathes of society to throw off the shackles of oppression and get the rights they deserved. These activists spoke for those without a voice, often prepared to lay down their lives for the causes they believed in. At the beginning of the century, most women couldn't vote, empires ruled much of the planet and marginalised people across the world were being persecuted. The work of these four icons would help society take huge leaps forward. Clearly, there is much more to do in a pursuit of a world in which everyone is equal, but today's activists stand on the shoulders of these giants. Each of these four greats dared to step outside the expectations society had of them. They changed what the world thought possible for women, the subjugated, disabled people and African Americans, and in doing so advanced their causes exponentially. If it weren't for these four icons, history would be very different.
