Despite initial cynicism and opposition, the Vietnam War Memorial was built in 1982. The black granite wall, designed by Maya Lin, was called a black gash of shame and stirred up so much controversy that the project was almost stopped.

On October 26th 1859, on the last leg of her 60 day journey from Melbourne to Liverpool, the Royal Charter was wrecked in one of the worst storms ever to hit Britain. 497 people drowned. The loss of life was immense, but so too was the amount of gold on board. $130m worth: unearthed in Australia, lost at sea. And some of it is still there. Now, world champion gold hunter, Vince Thurkettle is on a mission; to recover the Royal Charter’s lost treasure and discover who might have owned it.
‘Revolution in Colour’ tells the story of Ireland’s struggle for independence during the early 20th Century, not in black and white but in colour. The newsreel, primarily from the British Pathé archive with additional footage from the British Film Institute and the Irish Film Archive, has been painstakingly restored and colourised. The end result creates a powerful emotional connection with the people, the personalities, and the past bringing Irish history to life.
