Nazi Hunters: Klaus Barbie

Klaus Barbie has the blood of 10,000 French Jews on his hands. Escaping to Latin America, he works for dictators and drug barons and lives undetected for decades. That is, until a German housewife and mother vows to track him down. Married to a French Jew and living in Paris, Beate Klarsfeld and her husband Serge have dedicated their lives to bringing Nazi war criminals to justice. And, after successfully lobbying the German courts to reopen the case against Barbie, they mount a successful media campaign and track him down in Lima. Hoping to convince local authorities to extradite him to Europe, Klarsfeld flies first to Peru, and when Barbie escapes to Bolivia, follows him to La Paz. She leads a series of powerful demonstrations, is herself imprisoned and eventually makes headlines around the world. But it will take another decade, a failed kidnapping plot and sweeping political change in Bolivia to bring the man known as the ‘Butcher of Lyon’ to justice. Part 3 of 8.

The War: FUBAR

Autumn 1944. In September of 1944, with their troops in Europe stalled on the German border having outrun their supply lines, Allied commanders gamble on a risky plan to drop thousands of airborne troops behind enemy lines in Holland. When the mission ends in disaster, it becomes painfully clear that the war in Europe will not end before winter. In the Pacific, on the island of Peleliu, the marines fight one of the most brutal campaigns of the war. A series by Ken Burns. Part 9 of 14.

American Veteran: The Reckoning

"Those who went into the service and those who did not, we are two different realities," a veteran decides. But there are differences from vet to vet, too. Reflecting on their service, veterans ask how they and civilians can move America forward together. Narrated by J.R. Martinez, Army veteran, actor and motivational speaker. Part 4 of 4.

Jerusalem

An inspiring and eye-opening tour of one of the world’s oldest and most enigmatic cities. Destroyed and rebuilt countless times over 5,000 years, Jerusalem’s enduring appeal remains a mystery. What made it so important to so many different cultures? How did it become the centre of the world for three major religions? Why does it still matter to us? This programme attempts to answer these questions by following three young Jerusalemites and their families - Jewish, Christian and Muslim. Through their eyes, audiences will learn what it means to call Jerusalem home, and experience celebrations and events that mark the high points of a year in the life of the city.
