Islam - The Untold Story
https://vimeo.com/79051482

If you are a Muslim, you may find this documentary offensive. I think it is accurate and a fair representation though: it was good to have a historian speaking without fear on the subject.

The Plantagenets (about the monarchs of England between 1154 and 1485)
"Professor Robert Bartlett tells the extraordinary story of England's most dysfunctional, yet longest ruling, royal dynasty."

Episode 1, The Devil's Brood: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2e...s-brood_school
Episode 2, An English Empire:http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2e...english-empire
Episode 3, The Death of Kings: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2e...death-of-kings

I rather liked Robert Bartlett's narration style (including the somewhat unusual way of pronouncing some words)...he reminds also me of a cross between Bryan Ferry and Richard III (in a good way!).

thanks, @wacey

eta: actually... ahem... i don't find a lot of this hard to swallow... already i've had lots of thoughts... and i already believed some of these things... such as the u.s. political system being useless and entirely controlled by corporate agendas. and even now it's saying something that just occurred to me earlier... the corporations (banks) responsible for destroying the environment, can then use this crisis to make us agree to greater domination (global government control, so as to fix this crisis "in time"!). it's not that it's not a crisis (it is) but it's engineered as well. they would be gambling the natural world (really pushing the limit) so as to create a terrible crisis, that they will then benefit from. it's the sort of crisis that might inspire the globe to come together as an alternative to war over dwindling resources. although a preceding war could help scare people more before this point (but i don't think it would be necessary). before watching this i already thought that key families probably were ruling the world. so this really does make sense...

Genius of the Modern World
"Historian Bettany Hughes retraces the lives of three great thinkers whose ideas shaped the modern world - Karl Marx, Frederick Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud."

1. Marx
2. Nietzsche
3. Freud

I thought the Nietzsche episode was especially good, and that the Marx episode was rather weak.
