Utilizing untapped revelatory FBI archive and unique eyewitness testimony from the FBI agents and their adversaries, this series is not only a white-knuckle ride through the criminal cases that defined America, it also exposes an American society in turmoil.

Empathetically narrated by Idris Elba, whose own grandfather served in the war, this premium box set series turns the lens on global history.<\/p>\n<p>The series focuses on three unsung heroes in each episode, true-life soldiers and sailors hailing from India to Idaho. Through premium dramatization, mixing war sequences with deep character portraits, the stories of these men and their units will be told for the first time, highlighting the roles they played in epic theaters of war &#8211; Dunkirk, Pearl Harbor, D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge. Intercut with powerful testimony from our core characters&#8217; descendants, insight from specialist historians and meticulously sourced archive of the soldiers themselves, THE COLOR OF VICTORY restores the stories of these men and their units to their rightful place in the narrative of WW2.<\/p>\n<p>This series not only enriches our understanding of these battles, it also reveals how the war experiences of people of color directly inspired post-war movements for freedom that swept the globe, from Civil Rights in America to colonial independence in India, Africa and beyond &#8211; global movements and a continuous fight for freedom that still resonate today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE COLOR OF VICTORY: HEROES OF WW2<\/strong> is produced by Green Door Pictures and October Films.

Each of these was a person with a family, an identity, a story. Until recently there had been no way to find out who they are. Now the work of the DNA Doe Project (DDP), trailblazers in investigative genetic genealogy (IGG), is helping to change all that. With unprecedented access to this groundbreaking organization, Waking the Dead (wt) will follow DDP investigators in emotionally charged real-life cases as they use cutting-edge techniques to identify John and Jane Does from around the nation. Fusing new DNA technology with genealogical detective work and focusing on one case per episode, Waking the Dead follows the investigation from start to finish &#8211; from initial mystery, through DNA extraction and painstaking genetic investigation, to discovery of the person&#8217;s identity and story, culminating in a resolution for families, investigators and communities who have carried the emotional burden of these cases, sometimes for decades. From the unnamed victims of notorious serial killers to those consigned to unmarked graves, Waking the Dead unlocks a secret history of America as each identified Doe is finally laid to rest &#8211; and given back his or her name.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WAKING THE DEAD<\/strong> is produced by Wall to Wall.
