Episodes

View All Seasons
Episode 1 • May 01, 2017
Sudden Attacks
The battles of the first world war were battles of attrition, opposing armies hardly moving between lines of trenches. The battles of the second world war were much more dynamic. We study tank battles, blitzkrieg, commando raids, amphibious landings, and mobile warfare in the desert.
Episode 2 • May 08, 2017
Overwhelming Force
The second world war involved conflict on an unprecedented scale. Its battles set new marks for the sheer size of forces deployed and for the power of their weapons. We study the first battle at sea, in which enemy ships never sighted each other and the largest army ever to march when Germany launched its invasion of the Soviet Union.
Episode 3 • May 15, 2017
Flexible Strategies
A war that reached every continent and touched every sort of terrain demanded a wide variety of strategies and tactics. We examine battles fought at sea, and in the jungle, in city streets, invasions from the air, and tactical advances and retreats on the land.
Episode 4 • May 22, 2017
Seizing Territory
Battles are almost always about territory, with the objectives of advancing the front line, seizing the port, the city, the oil field, and more. The fate of nations in the second world war rose and fell on battles that took territory. Singapore, Monte Casino, and even more on battles that failed to capture their objectives. In the skies over Britain or before the walls of Stalingrad.
Episode 5 • May 29, 2017
Tactical Campaigns
Every war seized new tactics, some inspired, some desperate, that tried to influence the course of battles. Campaigns were waged against non military targets in an attempt to destroy morale. Suicide missions were launched when traditional weapons failed. And forces withdrew rather than fire on their fellow countrymen. These are the battles that rewrote the rules of engagement.
Episode 6 • Jun 05, 2017
Fragmentation
A world war is a patchwork of actions. Land. Sea. Air. Massive, or small scale. The stories of these actions, are just as varied, battles of amphibious forces, climate, geography, and the problems of supply.
Episode 7 • Jun 12, 2017
Multidimensional Warfare
Through history, armies marched to face each other on favored ground and clashed to decide a campaign, a war, an empire. With the 20th century that changed. The battles of the WWII happened anywhere and everywhere, in freezing temperatures, arid deserts, and mercilessly humid jungles. These are battles in which enemy and allied soldiers struggled to adapt.
Episode 8 • Jun 19, 2017
Turning Points of History
Some words transcend their origins as humble place names. They are carved into history as turning points which influenced the course of WWII, the fate of nations, and the make-up of our world. These words are indestructible. El Alameine, Okinawa, and Pearl Harbor.

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?
