Episode 1 • Sep 21, 1964
The Summer of Sarajevo
This half-hour documentary series uses film from news, official and private sources, to explore World War I. Tonight: "The Summer of Sarajevo." We see a complacent, confident Europe in 1914 shaken by the assassination of Austria's Archduke Ferdinand, an event seized by German and Austrian leaders as a motive for unleashing the war they had plotted for years. We see their reprisals against Serbia; the crowned heads of Europe mobilizing their armies; and people in Britain and France marching jauntily off to war. In Germany, there was cheering and waving as the Kaiser told his people they would "go to war with God on their side."
Episode 2 • Sep 28, 1964
The Clash of the Generals
"Clash of the Generals" examines the French and German battle plans and explains how and why each failed.

The Trenches
More than anything else, the trenches served to prolong the war and brutalize the soldiers who lived and died in their nightmarish squalor. Cameras view the trench fortifications, the weapons and the tactics developed to attack and defend them, and the Battle of the Somme, where the British introduced the first crude tanks in an attempt to break through the German trench lines.

D-Day at Gallipoli
In 1915, the Allies attacked the Gallipoli Peninsula in hopes of breaking the stalemate on the Western Front and opening the Black Sea ports of tottering Czarist Russia.

Baletnyy sindrom

Baletnyy sindrom

Documentary drama about the backstage of Russian ballet. It is no secret for the creative community that ballet dancers more often than others face harassment and blackmail from teachers and theater managers. Despite this, all active dancers claim that theaters and ballet schools are "monasteries with their own charter," which the artist is obliged to accept, and for years they have tolerated the clause about sexual obedience to masters and mentors included in this charter. For what reason are ballet dancers silent about the dark side of the profession and what is their silence really hiding?
