- StarsDominique ReymondBo ErikssonJan HasenfußThis documentary drama series tells the story of the Thirty Years War from the perspective of the people who experienced it: like the soldier Peter Hagendorf, the "Winter Queen" Elisabeth Stuart, the famous artist Peter Paul Rubens and the "Grey Eminence" Father Joseph. Their gripping accounts, letters and diary entries are condensed into a fascinating and emotive portrait of the time. In the 17th century, a generation of painters and illustrators developed the first type of visual mass medium - genre art, the pictorial representation of scenes and events from everyday life. The artists visualized the world they lived in with all its facets: markets, domestic settings, interiors, parties, inns, street scenes, and many more. This visual memory of the 17th century forms the 'archive footage' in the series. Combined with vivid drama and contributions from international experts, the series builds a bridge between "now" and "then" enabling viewers to experience what it was like to live through the Thirty Years' War.

- StarsLily JiAdrian HayesMatthew VandeputteIn the first decades of the 13th Century an inexorable wave of change swept out of the east. Centered in the very heart of Asia, Genghis Khan and his tribe of mobile warriors globalized the world by sheer horsepower and entrepreneurial will. A new and disruptive force had risen to innovate, seed, blend and collaborate in new ways. Born of this tectonic shift, Travelers came to see for themselves. Their iconic journeys revealed the ways of a trans-formative culture. In today's era of rapid change there is a new Mongolian, a people that call China home. They are defined by a timeless penchant for new ideas even as they've hold on to their ancient customs. How today's Mongols adapt to this equally disruptive age, may provide clues to how the rest of us may embrace change in the 21st century. Into to this new, wild east, today's generation of modern Marco Polo's have come to experience the spirit that drives today's China. Through their personal observations, adventures and recordings and by evoking the quotes of Marco Polo and Genghis Khan viewers will get to know Inner Mongolia and the culture of Genghis Khan anew.
