Episode list

Short documentary made from archive images from the Spanish Civil War: Social problems, the making of weapons, the syndicates CNT and UGT, the history of Spain... and even a bullfight by Rafael 'El Gallo'.

The documentary covers the reasons that lead to the Great Northern War in the 18th century, and how the battles spread from Europe to Finland, Southern Ostrobothnia, Isokyrö. After the battles had subsided, an unforeseen terror against the civilian population began, and from Ostrobothnia it spread over the whole area of Finland. These days that terror carries the name Greater Wrath.

In our post-9/11 world with its "War on Terror," will the same errors be made - as occurred in the Cold War - whose effects linger and fester long after the conflict is over? Three Americans travel to Cuba (to immerse themselves in a culture with which the U.S. all but prohibits commercial contact) and realize they cannot visit Cuba only for its music; that the American Embargo and the storied Bay of Pigs fiasco dominate everything.

Former Army-Chief-of-Staff General Edward Meyer has noted that 'An army does not fight a war, a nation does'. PEOPLE OF HONOR underscores that point with intertwining recollections of World War II experiences on both the home front and the war front. The documentary shows how mutual support was played a significant role toward victory. People of Honor is based upon 104 in-depth interviews taken over a ten year period of people living in a small county of northern Pennsylvania. Civilians told of their work in factories, buying bonds, gathering scrap metal, rationing, and the many other sacrifices of civilians. Soldiers expressed their experiences and deep feelings fighting on the war front --- watching frinds killed in action, surviving POW camps, living through the Bataan Death March. and so forth. They also tell of the emotions of finally coming home. Mothers and children of fallen soldiers reveal their experiences and manner of dealing with tragedy.

Military service in Israel is compulsory for all able-bodied Jewish men and women. Once their years of service is up they are granted a bonus which many use to travel to India to wind down and recover from their experiences. About 90 per cent of them will use drugs during their travels and every year about two thousand of them will require professional help to recover from this drug use. The extreme psychotic break these people experience is commonly referred to as "flipping out".
