A história verídica de Sir Nicholas “Nicky” Winton, um jovem corretor da bolsa londrino que, juntamente com Trevor Chadwick e Doreen Warriner do Comité Britânico para os Refugiados na Checoslováquia, resgatou 669 crianças aos nazis nos meses que antecederam a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Nicky visitou Praga em dezembro de 1938 e encontrou famílias que tinham fugido à ascensão dos nazis ao poder na Alemanha e na Áustria e que viviam em condições desesperadas, com falta de abrigo e comida. Cinquenta anos depois, em 1988, Nicky vive assombrado pelo destino das crianças que não conseguiu levar para Inglaterra, culpando-se sempre por não ter feito mais.

Extremistas políticos sequestraram inocentes como reféns... e apenas os super-soldados Chuck Norris e Lee Marvin podem resgatá-los nesta "impressionante mistura de fatos, fantasia e aventura" (Variety). Co-estrelando Martin Balsam e Shelley Winters, Comando Delta apresenta 130 minutos de ação explosiva! Quando um avião norte-americano de passageiros é tomado por sequestradores e levado para Beirute, o Presidente chama o Comando Delta - uma equipa de ataque comandada pelo Coronel Nick Alexander (Marvin) e o Major Scott McCoy (Norris). Enfrentando todas as adversidades, os homens invadem o esconderijo e - sem levar nenhum prisioneiro - resgatam os reféns. Mas a missão ainda não acabou. Alguns passageiros remanescentes estão sendo "escoltados" a Teerã, o que dá início a uma corrida contra o tempo a medida que Alexander e McCoy tentam salvá-los e vingar a honra da América, antes que seja tarde demais.

East Side follows Momi, an ex-Secret Service agent-turned-fixer who plays by his own rules as he brokers shady property deals between the Arab residents of East Jerusalem, and the powerful Jewish groups trying to take control of the area by whatever means possible. Brooding and well-connected, Momi slips between communities with ease. But behind his cool facade, the deadly consequences of his double-dealing are taking their toll, and at the center of his world is 18-year-old autistic daughter Maya.

In recent years, resentments and hatred towards Jews have become increasingly aggressive, louder and more brutal. What is at the roots of this development? Statistics show an extreme rise in anti-Semitic incidents in Germany but also worldwide. Berlin, for example, has become the city with the highest number of such attacks in Europe. Whether it’s from the left or the right, among Muslims or simply in normal everyday life - Jews and Jewish institutions are increasingly being threatened and violently assaulted in this country. In this series by Richard C. Schneider, experts and scientists, as well as those affected, attempt to explain the intentional or unintentional mechanisms of anti-Jewish hostility on the basis of historical, social and ideological developments.

They are among the very few survivors. 44 survivors testify. How do you get out of Auschwitz, how do you rebuild yourself? How do you talk about this ultimate experience and also how do you pass it on?

Director Claude Lanzmann spent 11 years on this sprawling documentary about the Holocaust, conducting his own interviews and refusing to use a single frame of archival footage. This epic documentary changed the way we think about the Holocaust. Featuring interviews with survivors, bystanders, and perpetrators from across Europe, mostly Poland and Germany, Shoah is drawn from over 300 hours of contemporary conversations with these witnesses, along with footage of overgrown sites of unspeakable horrors, including the concentration camp at Auschwitz. The monumental film grew out of Lanzmann's concern that the genocide perpetrated only 40 years earlier was already being forgotten. In response, he relied entirely on accounts from witnesses, rather than historical footage or reenactments, sometimes resorting to hidden cameras or other deceptions to coax stories and memories from those with whom he spoke.
