- StarsEva-Marie BeckerVarij EkelundDramdocumentary based on letters and journals, many of which have never been published before, this tells the story of 1914-18 solely through the eyes of those who lived through it. Bringing together 25 broadcasters from around the world, this is television's global event for the centennial of World War I.In 1914, most people's knowledge of war comes from schoolbooks and newspapers. But when the heir to the Austrian throne is killed in Sarajevo, the system of alliances runs its inevitable course. Featuring the stories of a Scottish auxiliary nurse who accompanies the British army to Belgium as a matter of national Honor, a young Cossack girl who follows her father into battle, a German mother who endures the untimely death of her only son, a French schoolboy who witnesses his country under occupation, a German schoolgirl who is forbidden to use French words in class, and an English journalist whose age is held against him. Their diaries focus on what archive and historical analysis cannot reveal: personal tragedy, love, happiness, pain and grief. Through glorious dramatic reconstruction viewers experience the greatest war mankind had ever seen, not from the perspective of what it was, but of what it was like from within. Great War Diaries reveals the simple human experience of 1914-18, unsullied by historical interpretation.

- StarsKonstantin DanilyukThe project is dedicated to one of the most remarkable and dramatic periods in history - the Napoleonic Wars from 1803 to 1815. They were a continuation of the wars originally sparked off by the French Revolution of 1789 and threw Europe's armies into mobilization on an unprecedented scale. The Coup d'Etat on 9 November 1799 put France into the hands of a man endowed with a natural genius as a commander and almost unlimited ambition. The 'old order' of Europe was, at the time, in chaos and disunity, with governments operating independently of others, each engaged in the short-term pursuit of private gain and nationalist policies. These factors, together with the powerful army created by Napoleon, combined to make him lord of the European continent, part of his dream of creating a 'global monarchy', with France at its supreme head.
- DirectorOriol PortaStarsLluís SolerBrendan PriceAlvah BessieThe Spanish Civil War made a great impression on the lives of most of the American artists of the 20th Century. Lots of films were made in Hollywood referring to this event, and the defeat of the Democratic Spain let an "open wound" in the heart of liberal actors, directors and screenwriters. The coherent life of screenwriter Alvah Bessie is our track through this feeling. From his fighting in Spain with the Abraham Lincoln Brigades in 1937 to his return to Spain 30 years later, where he was required to write his only film after being blacklisted as one of the "Hollywood Ten". This is an original approach to one of the most controversial subjects of our times: the relationship between film industry and politics.

- DirectorOlga KushakovskayaMikhail MerenkovStarsSergey MedvedevSergey GinzburgAleksandr DomogarovBiography of Richard Sorge resembles an unsolved puzzle, in which there are still many dark spots. Why is there still a certain conspiracy of silence around the case of the most famous Soviet intelligence officer? And the special services of several countries continue to keep secret the most important documents about its activities? Why, after the war, Sorge - a resident of a hostile state - was revered by the Japanese as a hero, and Stalin did not trust him, considering him a double agent? Until recently, we could not have answered these questions - it was believed that the interrogation protocols of Sorge were burned in a prison in Tokyo during the fire of 1945. But now everything has changed - there were copies. And the Japanese have declassified them. Now we will finally find out who this legendary man really was, who managed to turn the course of world history. What role in the fate of Sorge played his first wife - an agent of the Soviet intelligence? How did he, a specialist in the Scandinavian countries, become a Soviet resident in China and Japan? Is it true that thanks to the work of Sorge the Germans could not take Moscow? Why did he, the only "spy" in the history of all the intelligence services of the world, have a monument in Tokyo with the words: "Here lies the hero, who gave his life in the fight against war, for world peace"? And what is the secret of Sorge's unique international popularity today?

- DirectorAlan LoweryJohn PilgerStarsPramoedya Ananta ToerGeorge MonbiotDita SariThe myths of globalisation have been incorporated into much of our everyday language. "Thinking globally" and "the global economy" are part of a jargon that assumes we are all part of one big global village, where national borders and national identities no longer matter. But what is globalisation? And where is this global village? In 2001, John Pilger made 'The New Rulers of the World', a film exploring the impact of globalisation. It took Indonesia as the prime example, a country that the World Bank described as a 'model pupil' until its 'globalised' economy collapsed in 1998. Globalisation has not only made the world smaller. It has also made it interdependent. An investment decision made in London can spell unemployment for thousands in Indonesia, while a business decision taken in Tokyo can create thousands of new jobs for workers in north-east England. This might seem a very natural development if you live in a country like Britain, with its long international history as a trading nation and imperial power. Bringing the world closer together may throw up new opportunities for cultural and economic interaction, but it also exposes us to the negative aspects of life on a shrinking planet, whether it be the threat of global warming, the international traffic in women for sexual exploitation or the spread of AIDS throughout Africa and Asia.
