PROHIBITION: THIRTEEN YEARS THAT CHANGED AMERICA
Narrated by Edward Asner
3 x One-Hour Series for A&E/BBC Two

On the stroke of midnight on January 16 1920, America went dry. By decree of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, every citizen would be denied the right to produce or sell alcohol. Almost instantly, this remarkable new law set into motion a cavalcade of events whose fallout is still with us today. This documentary series takes us back to one of the most colourful eras in modern American history. It is a period that has been mythologised by Hollywood, synonymous with gangsters, speakeasies and the Roaring Twenties, but for the first time this series looks beyond the myths and the cliches to discover the untold stories behind the prohibition years.

'An entertaining and thoroughly researched documentary series... a fascinating story.' - The Daily Mail

HANNIBAL v ROME
aka HANNIBAL OF THE ALPS
aka HANNIBAL: ENEMY OF ROME
Two-Hour Special for National Geographic / five / La7 / Fremantle
One-Hour Special for five

HANNIBAL on the web, with trailer/shot breakdowns

Using the latest research and cutting-edge visual effects, this film captures the remarkable story of one of the greatest military commanders of all time. Hannibal launched one of the most audacious military offensives ever, bringing Rome to its knees and transforming the western world. Driven by honour, glory and a determination to fulfil his father's legacy, Hannibal's personal struggle took him on an epic journey. With his unique army including 37 battle elephants, Hannibal crossed the Alps in the middle of winter and crushed every army Rome threw at him, culminating in the 'perfect battle' of Cannae.

"Quality documentary that analyses Hannibal's exploits almost as lavishly as it recreates them. The battle sequences and snowy trudge across the Alps complete with elephants don't skimp on upmarket production values and huge CGI. Engrossing."
- The Daily Telegraph

"This accessible and remarkable film charts the rise of one of the most audacious warriors of all time."
- Daily Mail

"Impressive CGI... The conclusion has compelling modern resonance."
- The Sunday Times

'Remarkable... talking heads, reconstructions and urgent music spell out the drama.'
- The Guardian

'Dramatic not melodramatic, and edifying.'
