Episode list

Chronicles the life of folk figure Paul Krüger, sometime president of the Transvaal Republic during the second Anglo-Boer war. His wife Gesina narrates by leafing through her journals.

ATW barely survives Hitler's and Stalin's cruelties. In 1966 the Polish writer and theatre critic emigrates to the USA and explores "Theatre Without Audience": an idea which Brecht had in the 20ies but never applied.

In June 1940, Aristides de Sousa Mendes, the Portuguese Consul-General in Bordeaux, France, issued life-saving visas to thousands of Holocaust refugees in defiance of his government's direct orders - an action for which he paid a heavy personal price. In June 2013, filmmaker Semyon Pinkhasov followed a group of visa recipient families, along with members of the Sousa Mendes family, as they embarked on a pilgrimage retracing their families' footsteps of 73 years earlier. They were 'searching for Sousa Mendes' - looking for traces and clues of a lost history in an effort to understand their personal pasts. Pinkhasov interweaves the testimonies of the 'searchers' with compelling documentary footage and insights from experts to tell this little-known story.
