1953 год. В Америке идет борьба женщин за свои права, и в это время Кэтрин Энн Уотсон, выпускница Беркли, получает место преподавателя истории искусств в женском колледже Уэллесли. Однако среди руководства и преподавательского состава колледжа преобладают патриархальные взгляды на роль женщины в этом мире. Кэтрин со страстным энтузиазмом бросается в борьбу за равноправие полов, и оказывает огромное влияние на студенток, в том числе на Бетти и Джоан.

1814 год, Эдо. Один из самых густонаселённых городов в мире, изобилующий крестьянами, самураями, торговцами, знатью, художниками, куртизанками и, возможно, даже сверхъестественными существами. Профессиональный художник Тэцудзо в свои пятьдесят может гордиться клиентами со всей Японии. Каждый день он создает неповторимые произведения искусства — от гигантского портрета Бодхидхармы на листе бумаги площадью 180 квадратных метров до пары воробьев на рисовом зернышке. Вспыльчивый, чересчур саркастичный, равнодушный к сакэ или деньгам, он потребует целое состояние за работу, которая его по-настоящему не заинтересует. Третья из четырёх дочерей Тэцудзо, рождённая от второго брака, прямолинейная 23-летняя О-Эй унаследовала талант и упрямство отца. Она часто рисует вместо него, но никогда не оставляет своей подписи.

This film, shot by 100 amateur camera operators, tells the story of the enormous street protests in Seattle, Washington in November 1999, against the World Trade Organization summit being held there. Vowing to oppose, among other faults, the WTO's power to arbitrally overrule nations' environmental, social and labour policies in favour of unbridled corporate greed, protestors from all around came out in force to make their views known and stop the summit. Against them is a brutal police force and a hostile media as well as the stain of a minority of destructively overzealous comrades. Against all odds, the protesters bravely faced fierce opposition to take back the rightful democratic power that the political and corporate elite of the world is determined to deny the little people.

A film that looks at the genius of JMW Turner in a new light. There is more to Turner than his sublime landscapes - he also painted machines, science, technology and industry.

The programme examines nine key Turner paintings and shows how we should re-think them in the light of the scientific and Industrial Revolution. Includes interviews with historian Simon Schama and artist Tracey Emin.
For more than a decade, Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, Adolf Hitler's right-hand man during the infamous Third Reich, assembled a collection of thousands of works of art that were meticulously catalogued. Why did he steal entire collections, mainly those belonging to Jewish families, ultimately victims of the Shoah? Was it to satisfy his aesthetic ambitions and his insatiable personal greed or was he acting in the common interest of the Nazi rulers?
