Featuring never-before-seen film footage of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime, The Architecture of Doom captures the inner workings of the Third Reich more
Featuring never-before-seen film footage of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime, The Architecture of Doom captures the inner workings of the Third Reich and illuminates the Nazi aesthetic in art, architecture and popular culture. From Nazi party rallies to the final days inside Hitler's bunker, this sensational film shows how Adolf Hitler rose from being a failed artist to creating a world of ponderous kitsch and horrifying terror. Hitler worshipped ancient Rome and Greece, and dreamed of a new Golden Age of classical art and monumental architecture, populated by beautiful, patriotic Aryans. Degenerated artists and inferior races had no place in his lurid fantasy. As this riveting film shows, the Nazis went from banning the art of modernists like Picasso to forced euthanasia of the retarded and sick, and finally to the persecution of homosexuals and the extermination of the Jews. close

It's the height of the Cold War and the United States government is desperate to combat the spread of Communism. The CIA launches a highly classified, top secret research program into the covert use of biological and chemical agents. In simulated attacks on enemy populations, entire cities in America are contaminated with bacteria, exposing millions of Americans to germ warfare. But the real focus of the research is on mastering the art of mind control. Psychiatrists at top academic institutions work under secret contract with the agency. Psychiatric patients, prisoners, even unwitting members of the public are exposed to a startling array of experiments designed to facilitate interrogations, induce amnesia and program in new behavior. Every psychological technique is explored, including hypnosis, electroshock therapy and lethal cocktails of drugs. What was the extent of these brainwashing experiments? How did the CIA become involved in such far-reaching and disturbing research? close

A fundamental 6-part study of the most immodest field of human culture for ten years remains an unsurpassed encyclopedia of forbidden entertainment in more
A fundamental 6-part study of the most immodest field of human culture for ten years remains an unsurpassed encyclopedia of forbidden entertainment in their historical perspective. Pornography is a modern invention. Neither uninhibited antiquity, nor even the Middle Ages with their illusory shyness, nor the Renaissance with its love of life, thought to condemn sexual images and texts as part of human culture. Under the strict gaze of bourgeois morality, sex learned to hide in secluded places and turned into an unquenchable desire, an obsession, a painful mania that gave rise to pornography in the modern sense. A popular science film about the origins, meanings and consequences of pornography is a great opportunity to think about the nature of prohibition, about the phenomenon of power, about the burden of human weaknesses that should be accepted, not poisoned and driven deep. close

Europe in the 1920s and 1930s is a continent licking its wounds after the devastating First World War, on the brink of economic crisis, and shattered by refugee flows from revolutions and civil war, marked by a refusal to accept these desperate people: fertile ground for disagreements with fragile new democracies and the rise of authoritarian regimes. Meanwhile, there are striking similarities — the rise of the far right, the turn of democracies toward “illiberal” regimes, the shaky foundations of our financial system. Can the past contain warnings for the present? The series chronicles a complex sequence of events that led to the emergence of a new administration and allowed violence and brutality to unfold on an incredible scale. This is a view of history that has a direct bearing on today’s world. close

Picture by National Geographic. The Da Vinci Code Uncovered is a tale of secret societies, amazing revelations and chilling conspiracies. The film is based on Dan Brown’s famous novel The Da Vinci Code.
Ever since the book was published, readers have wondered whether this story really has a true background. Did Mary Mandalene and Jesus Christ marry, live happily ever after, and have children? Is it true that the code that protects the “kind of Christ” is actually hidden in the paintings of the great Leonardo da Vinci? The filmmakers, if possible, objectively tried to tell the viewer about the available facts, as well as unobtrusively express their individual point of view. close
