Ancient Rome - The Rise and Fall of an Empire - Part 2 - Nero
Drama-documentary series telling the gripping real-life stories of young travellers who find themselves incarcerated overseas. Piers Hernu's thirst for adventure landed him in a Nepalese jail for gold smuggling.

Facing four years in jail, Piers launched a campaign to convince the King of Nepal to pardon him.
The original short story was, indeed, to inform women that not all medical care of the era was helpful. The story was formed out of her (Gilman's) own personal experiences. In Gilman's original work, John is eccentric, yes; He is a stickler for structure. But he is not as cruel in the story as he is portrayed in the film. The scene where he takes her upstairs and forces himself upon her in the film? In the book, he carries her upstairs and sings her to sleep. Yes, the film does have vague feminist tones, but not nearly to the degree of the film. The sick twisting of John into an arrogant, careless doctor from a confused husband who tries his best to help is very unprofessional. John sincerely wishes to help his wife in Gilman's original storyline; he does everything in his power to do so, using the best medical techniques of his time. The focus is on the fault in the techniques of medicine, not the fault of the man.
For more great documentaries visit thedocumentarycenter.blogspot.com he ruled the Roman empire fewer than four years, his life was over at the age 28, and yet the name of caligula is notorious throughout the world. His reign was a legendary frenzy of lunacy, murder and lust. While Rome cowered in terror Caligula killed for the sheer fun of it. Between executions he staged spectacular orgies, made love to his own sister, and declared himself a living god. We still shudder at the unspeakable deeds of Rome's mad emperor, but Caligula may have been driven insane by a lunatic world. Murderer, pervert, loving father, devoted son all of these were Caligula. Beyond his ghastly legend lies an anguished life that was even more bizarre.
