6.6 Сюжет (англ.)
Wisconsin Death Trip is an intimate, shocking and sometimes hilarious account of the disasters that befell one small town in Wisconsin during the final decade of the 19th century. The film is inspired by Michael Lesy's book of the same name which was first published in 1973. Lesy discovered a striking archive of black and white photographs in the town of Black River Falls dating from the 1890s and married a selection of these images to extracts from the town's newspaper from the same decade. The effect was surprising and disturbing. The town of Black River Falls seems gripped by some peculiar malaise and the weekly news is dominated by bizarre tales of madness, eccentricity and violence amongst the local population. Suicide and murder are commonplace. People in the town are haunted by ghosts, possessed by devils and terrorized by teenage outlaws and arsonists. Like the book, the film is constructed entirely from authentic news reports from the Black River Falls' newspaper with occasional excerpts from the records of the nearby Mendota Asylum for the Insane. The film also makes use of the haunting black and white photographs taken by the resident portrait photographer of Black River Falls at the end of the 19th century. Contemporary color documentary footage of the town today is also included at the end of each section of the film that take place over the course of four seasons.

From Executive Producers Ridley Scott and Tony Scott, and narrated by Tom Hanks, National Geographic Channel's first ever docudrama, Killing Lincoln, based on the New York Times bestseller, combines re-creations with historical insight in a thrilling chronicle of the final days of President Lincoln and his assassin, John Wilkes Booth.

Цей шедевр індустрії став символом прогресу XIX століття. Досконалість творінь Густава Ейфеля здобуло йому замовлення по всій Європі. Чудові споруди зі скла і заліза, ефектні конструкції були лише преамбулою до створення незвичайного трьохсотметрового монумента, який повинен був стати мало не більш знаменитим, ніж єгипетські піраміди чи Велика китайська стіна.

Місцями зворушливий, місцями смішний, а місцями епічний, цей документальний фільм підіймається до висоти свого героя. Ретельно відреставрований і колоризований, фільм спирається на багатий візуальний і звуковий архів, щоб представити загальний погляд на приватну і публічну людину. Через контрастні етапи його існування він пропонує оригінальне тлумачення особистості Вінстона Черчилля, його стосунків з владою і сучасниками, щоб підняти завісу над примхливою, заплутаною, парадоксальною і захопливою особистістю.
