Who Built Serpent’s Wall?

The Serpent’s Walls are over a thousand kilometers of ancient fortifications. These earthen embankments surrounding the modern territory of Kyiv are shrouded in legends. Researchers still cannot agree on who built them and why. How were they planned so effectively to protect the approaches to Kyiv, taking into account rivers, lakes, swamps, and hills? Traditional science claims that they were built during the reign of Volodymyr the Great and Yaroslav the Wise. But there are daredevils who challenge the traditional view of history. What if the Serpent Walls are two or even three thousand years old? Maybe Kyiv is much older than is commonly believed?

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
