Eight-part series exploring the achievements and legacies of some of the greatest figures of the 20th century. Seven well-known advocates each front an hour-long documentary arguing the case for four people from a different field of human endeavour - leaders, explorers, scientists, entertainers, sports stars, artists and writers, and activists. At the end of each documentary the public vote for their favourite. The icon who wins the public vote in each category is put through to a live final, which sees all of the celebrity advocates return to fight their icon's case - the public then vote again for the person they believe was the greatest figure of the 20th century. The 20th century was a time of extraordinary change. One hundred years of progress which shaped not only the society of the day, but generations to come. A century of seismic shifts, that saw countless breakthroughs and innovations, which would impact our world in ways never seen before. Behind this progress were incredible individuals who chose to defy convention, and in doing so changed the world forever. The life's work of these icons represent benchmarks now set for humanity - from scientists whose discoveries changed the life of billions and redefined what we know about our world to the sports stars and explorers who pushed the boundaries of what humankind thought possible - their stories represent the pinnacle of society's achievements. The series begins with leaders, and sees a well-known figure, passionate about the subject, examining the achievements and legacies of the people whose decisions affect all our lives. 20th century leaders oversaw great victories, unimaginable hardships, sweeping social change, and the worst conflicts in human history.

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME V NUMBER 177
GENERAL DE PINEDO PERISHES IN FLAMES AT START OF SEA HOP
NEW YORK, N. Y. -- Extraordinary pictures of the famous Italian Ace's attempt to take-off from Floyd Bennett Field for a non-stop transatlantic flight to Bagdad. His huge ship, getting out of control, swerves from side to side, bumps across the field, hits a wire fence, turns over and explodes. The helpless flier is engulfed by the flames and burned beyond recognition in one of the most spectacular accidents in the history of aeronautics.
PRESIDENT SAILS FOR CAPITAL
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. -- Starting on his way to Washington after spending the summer season at his Hyde Park estate, the Chief Executive is seen in unusual pictures boarding Vincent Astor's yacht Nourmahal to begin a leisurely cruise down the coast before resuming his duties at the White House.
ACE'S ANTICS THRILL THRONGS
CHICAGO, ILL. -- Breath-taking scenes at the International Air Races as Major Ernst Udet, renowned German pilot, performs amazing sky feats high above the heads of huge crowds which tensely watch his remarkable stunts.
5 NATIONS SEEK BALLOON TITLE

MISS VAN WIE WINS GOLF TITLE

THE remarkable newspaper stories and photographs of General De Pinedo's death in the flaming wreckage of his airplane, striking as they were, fall far short of the motion picture story of the accident as presented in the current issue of Universal Newsreel. These pictures of the spectacular crash show every important detail of the story, from the time the plane gathers speed until it turns over and explodes. The extraordinary scenes of this event are only a few of many outstanding views to be found in every issue of Universal Newsreel. You must book Universal if you are to show the reel of proved box-office value.
