Synopsis:

Queen Victoria's Empire (2001)
This series offers an engaging portrait of the Queen who ruled over one-fifth of the world's population for 64 years, as well as influential figures who shaped British imperialism: Gladstone, Disraeli, Livingstone, Rhodes, and Prince Albert. Personal accounts, re-enactments, and cinematography from imperial outposts recount the dramatic clash of personalities and cultures during Victoria's remarkable reign. Donald Sutherland narrates.
Medici: Godfathers of the Renaissance (2004)
From a small Italian community in 15th-century Florence, the Medici family would rise to rule Europe in many ways. Using charm, patronage, skill, duplicity and ruthlessness, they would amass unparalleled wealth and unprecedented power.
Napoleon (2000)
Loved and despised, venerated and feared for nearly two decades, Napoleon Bonaparte strode the world stage like a colossus. Framed by the grand sweep of world events, the series charts both his dramatic rise to power as Emperor of France, and his bitter final years spent in exile on the tiny, remote island of St. Helena, doomed to relive all that was and all that could have been.
