History vs. Hollywood is a television show on the History Channel in the United States. On the show, experts are interviewed on the historical accuracy of a film that is based on a historical event. For example the movie The Last Samurai was featured in one episode in which military historian Geoffrey Wawro, professor of history at the University of North Texas, and director of the university's Barsanti center for military-history, compared the movie with the actual events. On the show the expert guests discuss the factual accuracy of the film as well as the everyday objects that a person of the particular time period would have seen. In some episodes an expert or the host will go on a journey to the actual historical sites depicted in the film, or interview someone who witnessed the event firsthand. In each of the more than dozen episodes both expert guests and filmmakers will discuss the historical accuracy of the film dramatized.
The series was first released in 1999, and had been produced on a semi-regular basis continuing through at least 2005. The program was conceived and created by producer Steven Jack who also directed a majority of the episodes. Although the hour long programs were made for television most episodes were shot on 35mm film which heightened its authentic looking recreations and aided in earning critical praise for its efforts to both entertain and educate. close

In all the leading countries of the world, it manifested itself most clearly in the Second World War. Here is a chronicle of the creation of one of the most powerful military vehicles in history, to this day effectively supporting the defense of the United States. With only 100,000 men in reserve after World War I, America’s military-industrial complex grew at a rapid rate, which allowed it to play a crucial role in the fight against the Nazis. Ground units of various purposes, detachments of the Air Force, the shock American fleet, fearless Marines and Coast Guard troops, made an invaluable contribution to the victory of the Allies over the common enemy. A detailed account of the formation of each branch of the military and the weapons that provide their power is provided with an impressive documentary chronicle and a rich set of facts from the military archives. close

"Nuremberg, which was not" - a documentary, the creation of which worked director Igor Kholodkov. There was a moment in the history of the country when the “Russian Nuremberg” could become a reality.
The initiator of such changes was Olga Shatunovskaya, who returned from Kolyma, and a group of her close associates who were Stalinist convicts and had a colossal influence on Khrushchev. This group collected 64 volumes of horrifying documents that could reveal the true nature of Stalin and all his executioners. But too many “inquisitors” were in power, and they managed to convince Khrushchev to postpone the publication for several years.
