Archaeologists make new discoveries in Nineveh, the Bible's city of sin.
Starring: Julian Barratt
In the series premiere, "The Disturbing Confidence of Ignorance," filmmaker Raoul Peck sets out to illuminate the intertwined currents of hate and bigotry running through history. Focusing on the United States' legacy as a colonial power, Peck explores how race first became institutionalized, the Nazi program of "elimination" and its antecedents in the West, and more.
In Part 2, "Who the F*** is Columbus," Peck revisits the stories of Christopher Columbus, the Alamo and the Trail of Tears from an indigenous perspective, showing how "official" history is shaped by those in power and solidified by myth and popular culture. Next, he examines the "doctrine of discovery" used to justify the enslavement of millions of Africans.
In Part 3, "Killing at a Distance or ... How I Thoroughly Enjoyed the Outing," Peck looks back at human migration, trade and weaponry, and shows how Europeans used industrialized steel to conduct warfare from ever-greater distances. Then, he explores the endless cycle of militarization throughout the centuries.
