Queens and Princesses

Dokumentar
2024

Behind every great man, there is a great woman. Kings may rule over their kingdoms. However, every King needs a Queen. Throughout history, there have been several Kings and several Queens. Many ruled alone, and many more lost their partner. History has taught us that an individual's mental fortitude is much greater when the responsibilities outweigh the pain of loss. The duty of a Queen is not just to serve the King and Kingdom, a Queen must be a strong leader, diplomat and negotiator, a Queen must be able to show compassion for those in need but also take decisive action against those who pose a threat to the integrity of the nation. There have been young ruling Queens and old ruling Queens. The British Monarchy has had 62 ruling monarchs over 1200 years, of those ruling monarchs, only eight have been reigning Queens.

Throughout history, the role of a leader has been adopted by the strongest of the group. An individual who has shown strength, courage and an iron will. These leaders were either chosen by their group or formed their tribes by adopting members themselves. Civilisation was built on the foundations of strong leadership and hardworking individuals who put their trust in their leaders. Great Britain has had many leaders who have held the title of King. Britain has had 62 reigning monarchs over the last 1200 years. The modern royal family, however, can trace their lineage back to as far back as 1066 with William, the conqueror. This long bloodline has been the backbone of the British monarchy and the burning centre of the Commonwealth.

The Legend of Henry VIII

The Legend of Henry VIII

Dokumentar
2024

Henry VIII was born and raised as an incredibly devout Roman Catholic man. But upon the death of his brother, the 11 year old Henry’s life is turned upside down. From this point onwards, the heavy burden of the succession would become his to bear. Despite being granted ‘Defender of the Faith’, Henry would soon turn the country upside down and change history forever on his personal quest to fufil his desire to father a legitimate male heir. This path of Love and death would quickly lead to several failed marriages. It’s hard to discern the man from the myth. But it's easy to see that Henry VIII has become the most infamous English King, and is remembered half a millennium later for his romantic passion and his tyrannous rule.

Aerial Assault Vietnam

Aerial Assault Vietnam

Dokumentar

Decades after it ended, the Vietnam War might seem like a distant memory. In fact, it was an enormous conflict, the longest war in American history and the only one from which the USA did not emerge victorious. Throughout the war, a greater tonnage of bombs was dropped than in WWII. It was the war in which the helicopter came into its own and where every type of aircraft was used. For every pilot in Vietnam, there were dozens of support staff, from mechanics to weather specialists. The Vietnam War was also the first time helicopters had been used to transport large numbers of ground troops to combat zones. It is undeniable that air power played a huge role in the Vietnam War, and there's no doubt that the aerial bombardment of Vietnam will forever remain one of the most staggering sustained attacks in human history.
