Congratulations to the exceptional GBM cast, crew and production teams – and a special nod to Lee Ventura, Robin Webster, Sarah Hewitt, Melanie Wong for their incredible research. Thank you to the Yorkton Film Festival for their recognition of these incredible series.
Though history has long lionised its great leaders, being an elite wasn’t all glory and prosperity. Power is far from absolute, and allegiance, always conditional. Uncover the gripping histories behind the battles the old world wrestled. Fought between those set on maintaining the old ways and those seeking to overthrow them.
In stories motivated by obsession, hatred, politics, and fanaticism, covert plots and dark conspiracies take shape. For decades, the details of these plans, hatched to put an end to tyranny, have remained virtually unknown. Now, we go behind closed doors to meet the rebels, revolutionaries, and intelligence operatives tasked with undertaking these ruthless takedowns.
