Teleshopping

Pan am: Crossing the Pacific: Latin Laboratory

As they push southward, they build larger flying boats, harness radio to navigate safely over great distances, and, with help from the U.S. government, outwit all competing airlines to dominate service to Latin America and launch the global air tourism industry. Part 2 of 3.

The Dictator's Playbook: Kim Il Sung

Witness Kim Il Sung’s transformation from guerilla fighter to brutal dictator of North Korea. How did he build the most controlled society on earth and launch a dictatorship that has lasted for three generations? Part 1 of 6.

WWII in Colour: Road to Victory: Okinawa

As relentless firebombing and blockade of war-ravaged Japan shows no sign of securing a surrender, the US reluctantly prepares to invade. First, they need Okinawa, an island close to the mainland, as a base to stage their attack. The Marines fear the worst - but their amphibious invasion is met with almost total silence. Lulled into a false sense of security, it’s just the calm before the storm. Part 9 of 10.

Hidden Letters

Spanning between past and present, Hidden Letters follows two millennial Chinese women connected by their fascination with the secret language of Nushu. This centuries-old hidden language bonded generations of Chinese women in a clandestine support system of sisterhood, hope and survival. Influenced by Nushu’s legacy of female solidarity, the two women struggle to find balance as they forge their own paths in a patriarchal culture. Directed by Violet Du Feng.
