It’s May 8th, 1945. Nazi Germany has just surrendered. VE-Day celebrations erupt amid the citizenry of war-torn nations. But in the Pacific, the troops’ reaction is muted. Japan shows no sign of surrender. It will be exactly 100 more days to VJ- Day and will include some of the most tumultuous and significant days of the 20th Century. When the end finally comes, VJ Day finishes the party that VE Day started. The century pivots at this moment. These handful of days will create the path for the world to follow for the next 75 years and counting. Smithsonian Networks
On the 40th anniversary of the most celebrated Jesus biopic ever made, ‘Jesus of Nazareth’ Robert Powell, the actor who delivered the iconic on-screen portrayal of Christ, returns to the Holy Land on a mission to track down the man who gave rise to the faith of over 2 billion people. This is the story of Jesus of Nazareth - arguably the most influential figure in world history, told in a uniquely charismatic way.
By January 1945, it’s apparent Nazi Germany will be defeated. But instead of winding down, the war enters its bloodiest, most chaotic phase. The world exhales in a thousand ways on May 8 - Victory in Europe Day. Even as the Pacific War drags on, there is now near certainty that freedom will prevail. So soldiers and citizens take one day – VE Day – to live out that first day of freedom from tyranny. Everyone remembers where they were and what they did. 75 years later, we give those stories new life. Smithsonian Networks
