Human warriors aren't born, they are made...but animals, on the other hand, are a whole different story. These are the animals who are born soldiers, who have only courage, muscle and smarts with them when they go into battle.

The seven deadly sins have popped into almost everyones lives at one time or another. But does nature have her own share of sinners? We know that pigs are slovenly, peacocks are proud and foxes are wily...or do we? Anthropomorphisation - or assigning human attributes to creatures that are not human - has given many beasts a bad name for simply doing what they must to survive. This is their story.

This is the story of Richard Seaman, one of Britain's greatest racing drivers ever. Seaman was almost erased from history when he left British motor-sport and chose to race for the German Mercedes team at the height of the Third Reich. Seduced by the power and discipline of the German racing teams, the allure was so great for Seaman that nothing - neither family nor fear of war - would keep him from the wheel of the fastest cars in the world. It was a fascination so great that, in the end, it cost him his life.

Narrated by actor Edward Herrmann, Sherman's March examines one of the most pivotal, and devastating, campaigns of the Civil War.
With upwards of 100,000 men and the reluctant blessing of the Union, General William Tecumseh Sherman swept through the South with unprecedented speed and savagery.
The effect of his campaign was terrible for the civilian population and devastating for the South's army. Pushing the entertainment and educational potential of television, this feature-length documentary - filmed on location in brilliant High Definition - breaks new ground in documentary presentation. This deeply immersive production combines compelling narration with unmatched dramatic sequences that transport you to critical moments of the fateful campaign.
As much psychological profile as historical reconstruction, hear from Sherman himself, as well as from characters both major and minor from every side of the conflict, as they relate in their own words the epic events of 1865.
