The catalyst that would lead to Martin Luther King’s assassination began three months before his death. Realising that this might be a seminal moment in the Civil Rights Movement, scholars at The University of Memphis started to collect every piece of media they could find - television, radio and print. This multi-award winning documentary brings to light the footage that hasn’t been seen since 1968.
In January 1942, the U.S. military created a new bomber command, the Eighth Air Force, and sent a small contingent of men overseas to loosen the Nazis’ grip on Europe. The command’s star player was the B-17, a fast, heavily armed aircraft that changed the course of World War II. Witness them take on the mighty German Luftwaffe over enemy skies. Discover the story of how one B-17 - the Memphis Belle - and its crew lifted the spirits of a nation and became a symbol of American prowess in defense of freedom.

With the help of modern forensic methods, fresh sources and the discovery of a new painting, it is now possible to weave together all the facts for the first time.
