The Africans: A Triple Heritage

Written and narrated by Dr. Ali Mazrui in the early 1980s and jointly produced by the BBC and PBS (WETA, Washington) in association with the Nigerian Television Authority. Africa's triple heritage, as envisioned by Mazrui is a product resulting from three major influences: (1) an indigenous heritage borne out of time and climate change; (2) the heritage of eurocentric capitalism forced on Africans by European colonialism; and (3) the spread of Islam by both jihad and evangelism. The negative effects of this history have yet to be addressed by independent African leaders, while the West has tended to regard Africa as recipient rather than as transmitter of effects. Yet Africa has transformed both Europe and America in the past, Mazrui points out, and the difficult situation in which Africa finds itself today (economically dependent, culturally mixed, and politically unstable) is the price it has had to pay for Western development.

Marines in the Pacific

They were teenagers who became more than men, they became Marines. With the world in conflict, they saw, smelled, and tasted war on the most intensely personal level. They stood on the rails of darkened troopships and wondered how long they had to live. They saw too many of their best friends die in the most horrible ways possible. Marines in the Pacific is a unforgettable tale of the boys who answered the call of duty, a call that took them into combat against the toughest opponent in America's history; the Empire of Japan. Across fire-swept beaches, in trackless jungles, on rugged coral ridges, the Marines of World War II kept going. Every battle, every campaign, each freshly dug grave was a marker on the Road to Victory. In Marines the Pacific you will hear the complete story told by the veterans who were there. To them "kill or be killed" was more than empty words, to them it was life and death!

Intro to Nietzsche

In Introduction to Nietzsche, an eight-hour course, Dr. Peterson embarks on a deep exploration of the life, philosophy, and enduring influence of Friedrich Nietzsche. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, we examine how Nietzsche's ideas challenged traditional moral and philosophical foundations, paving the way for new perspectives on the human condition. The course delves into key concepts such as the will to power, the critique of truth and morality, and the affirmation of life in the face of nihilism, while also exploring Nietzsche's complex relationship with religion, academia, and the works of other thinkers. Ultimately, we are invited to confront uncomfortable realities, embrace necessary struggles, and cultivate the courage and gratitude needed to realize our full potential.

Gift Of The Rains: Africa's Great Rivers

In this series we choose 13 dramatically different rivers, each with its own unique characteristics, from the powerful Zambezi to the dry Hoanib River – a river that flows for only a few days a year. Each river flows through a different part of Africa, bringing life to dry deserts, flooding great plains and supplying constant water to tropical forests and bushveld. Some of the wildlife surrounding each of the chosen rivers is endemic, each species part of a unique ecosystem. The rivers have a formative influence on the lives of animals and plants that live along its banks and in its waters. Uniquely for television, we show detailed underwater sequences of creatures that live and hunt in the rivers of Africa. We follow the hunting techniques of the tiger fish, the protective instincts of mouth-brooding tilapia, the migratory instincts of barbel to reach spawning grounds, the eating habits of scavenging eels, and the hunting strategies of the fishing spider. Along the water’s edge, we show the nest-making rituals of migrant birds, the fishing methods of shoebills, herons and cormorants and the life cycles of frogs. And when the waters dry up we will show how terrapins, fish and mammals manage to survive in the harshness of their arid habitat.
