Synopsis:

Life under Napoleon follows the rise and fall of Napoleon through the eyes of blacksmiths, soldiers, peasants, prostitutes, housewives and other ordinary citizens of that time. Thus paints a unique picture of the dramatic consequences of the rule of the little Corsican entailed for his subjects. Surprising anecdotes provide insight into daily life in the Napoleonic era, the end of the French Revolution in 1799 to Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo in 1815. It not only looks at Europe, but also to what Napoleon did for the rest of the world. Blackbeard - the Real pirate of the Caribbean is the true story of Edward Teach, the man who became the most notorious pirate of all time. Some loved him, many hated him, the whole world was afraid of him. He conducted a reign of terror in the waters on the east coast of America and took it even openly against the government. For the authorities, only the presence of Blackbeard was enough to do everything to fight against piracy. Genghis Khan was a violent tyrant or a brilliant warlord? A psychopath or a genius? As the son of a murdered father, he spent a lonely and tough childhood in the desolate Mongolian steppes. The BBC film "Genghis Khan" follows the life of a man who conquered an area that once was even bigger than the Roman Empire.

Napoleon / Life under Napoleon (2006)
Covering the years from the end of the French Revolution to the zenith of Napoleonic power in 1806, this program opens windows of insight into life under Napoleon through the stories of a merchant apprentice, a young nobleman, a beer brewer, a draft dodger, and a war widow. They tell of industrialization, municipal improvements, the standardization of measurements, the new power of mayors to conduct marriages and authorize divorces, and the body of laws known as the Napoleonic Code-as well as of crippling taxation, compulsory military service, strict censorship of newspapers, and the pitiless auctioning of monasteries-as the self-proclaimed emperor traveled from victory to victory.

In the 1800s a fearsome English sailor (James Purefoy) tries to control the high seas.
Genghis Khan (2005)
