The Trial Of Alec Baldwin

On October 21, 2021, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins is killed on a movie set by a prop gun held by the actor Alec Baldwin. In the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, virtually no one doubts that it was an accident and a deeply traumatizing experience for everyone involved. After the shock subsides, questions of responsibility, guilt, blame, punishment and justice begin circulating in the media, fueled largely by Baldwin’s fame, as well as his reputation. Talented and adored, yet also flawed, politically outspoken, and prone to explosions of anger, the NYC-based Hollywood star becomes a lightning rod for online haters and a target for pushy paparazzi. With prosecutors weighing criminal charges, the events that unfold are driven less by the facts surrounding the case and more by who Alec Baldwin is — both as a man and as a public figure.

The Jury: Murder Trial

THE JURY: MURDER TRIAL is a ground-breaking experiment that asks profound questions about how we administer justice - by putting the jury system itself on trial. For the first time ever, we examine the fairness of the system, and the inner workings of justice in the UK. Filmed over ten days, a real murder trial is recreated word-for-word from the original transcripts, and two randomly-chosen juries, neither of whom are aware of the other, are asked to judge. The case? A man who admits he killed his wife, but whose defence maintains that he lost control, and is therefore not guilty of murder. What will the two juries decide, and why? How well will they follow the complexities of the law? And after they have deliberated, will they agree with each other’s verdicts?

The pharaohs of ancient Egypt were more than rulers - they were gods on earth, commanding armies, priests, and architects to shape a civilization in their image. Grand pyramids, temples, and tombs were not just monuments, but instruments of power and propaganda. Over 3,000 years, leaders like Narmer, Mentuhotep, Thutmose II, and Akhenaten navigated droughts, rebellions, palace intrigue, and foreign threats, using religion, art, architecture, and the military to secure their authority. PHARAOHS: RISE AND FALL explores how these superhuman figures maintained control over Egypt, and how, after millennia, their once-unstoppable dynasties ultimately crumbled, leaving behind enduring monuments and lessons in power, ambition, and legacy.
