They were ruthless men with unchecked power, controlling their people with an iron fist. Suppressing all dissent, they demanded absolute loyalty, jailing, or killing those who opposed them. They ruled by force of personality, but were plagued by secret fears and private demons. They were dictators - tyrants who shaped the twentieth century and left their mark on our own.

En 1916, alors que la Première Guerre mondiale sème la mort et le chaos, des artistes et poètes pacifistes issus de toutes les nations belligérantes se réfugient en Suisse neutre, à Zurich. Les Allemands Hugo Ball et Emmy Hennings y fondent le cabaret Voltaire, d'où surgit le cri de révolte dada : deux syllabes compréhensibles dans toutes les langues, synonymes d'explosion créatrice tous azimuts. Nihiliste, subversive, destructrice, la bande de Tristan Tzara, Marcel Janco, Jean Arp, Sophie Taeuber et Richard Huelsenbeck veut faire table rase des valeurs morales à travers une liberté artistique absolue - jusqu'au dynamitage en règle du langage -, flirtant avec la transe et la folie. Après l'armistice, le mouvement part à la conquête du monde via ses revues et ses performances, qui font hurler le public de Paris - où Tzara reçoit l'accueil chaleureux de Breton, Éluard, Picabia, Soupault… - à Cologne (avec Max Ernst et Johannes Baargeld) en passant par New York, où sévissent Man Ray et Marcel Duchamp.

A rare look at World War II from the Soviet side, Come and See is based on the real-life experiences of Ales Adamovich, who fought with Russian partisans in Belarus in 1943, when the Nazis systematically torched over 600 villages and slaughtered their inhabitants. Adamovich and director Elem Klimov co-authored the screenplay, which shows the horrors through the eyes of a 13-year-old peasant boy named Florya (Alexei Kravchenko). Awarded the Grand Prix at the 1985 Moscow Film Festival, Come and See is notable as an honest and unflinching portrait of one of the darker chapters among many in the history of the World War II.

Comment peuvent-ils avoir fait ça, collaborer avec les nazis ? Des milliers d’hommes qui n’étaient pas allemands ont en effet soutenu le régime d’Hitler… Pierre Laval, Chaim Rumkowski, Léon Degrelle et bien d’autres, tous ont participé à l’épouvantable machine de guerre mise en place par le Führer. Certains ont collaboré en croyant qu’ils accomplissaient un acte louable, certains ont estimé qu’ils n’avaient pas le choix, d’autres enfin, avaient des motivations plus perverses et inquiétantes. La série en 13 épisodes Les collaborateurs des nazis nous dévoile l’histoire de quelques uns des ces hommes en exploitant plus de 4000 heures d’archives dont beaucoup n’ont encore jamais été dévoilées. Au cour de cette série, une question délicate se profile : si nous avions vécu à cette époque, aurions-nous agi comme eux et dansé avec le diable ?

Adolf Hitler tried to mould Germany and a large portion of the 20th century into his own twisted design.
This series of programme scrutinises some of the most infamous figures in world history and the lives they led.

This is a fairly short programme about Hitler but like the Idi Amin programme it packs a surprising amount of information into it. Again archive footage and photographs are well used along with interviews with those within & near his inner circle and those who suffered under his rule. We see a little of Hitlers strange personal life but it is mostly through his infamous deeds we see how he & his demonic fervour consumed first Germany then Europe with the atrocities of his rule escalating bit by gruesome bit in their savage depravity to their utterly horrific conclusion.
Warning - it does contain some graphic photos & scenes that may upset some viewers.

A documentary cycle will tell about the villains rulers, the people in the majority of cases оставиших after themselves only bad memories, such as the leader of nazi Germany of Adolf Hitler, the soviet leader Joseph Stalin, the roman emperor Nero, the president of Uganda, Idi Amin, the governor of Cambodia Pol Pot and Spanish inquisitor Torquemada. Scientists will analyze the biography of each of them and try to find out the reasons of their "crimes".
