Joseph K., giovane impiegato di banca, apprende di essere accusato davanti a un misterioso tribunale, ma non sa perché: non gli si dice quale sia il capo d'imputazione.
Three friends – a reporter, an oil analyst and a financial executive – reunite after ten years and accidentally uncover one of the key, hidden reasons for what motivated the war in Iraq. The trio struggles to present evidence to major media that America invaded Iraq to force oil sales from the Euro back to the Dollar to preserve US global monetary supremacy. Against incredible odds, the team must face their pasts, find willing sources to corroborate the story, and survive the conspirators as they push to bring the truth to light.
Antonio Gramsci, condannato a vent'anni di carcere dai tribunali fascisti, rivive le tappe della sua carriera politica e della vita privata: in particolare la fondazione del partito comunista, l'inutile resistenza all'offensiva della destra, il matrimonio, l'arresto, il conflitto con Togliatti. In prigione l'uomo politico è prima considerato un eroe, poi evitato per via delle sue opinioni anticonformiste su Stalin e sull'involuzione autoritaria dell'Urss. Dimesso dal carcere per motivi di salute, muore nel 1937 in una clinica di Roma. Ritratto spesso didascalico, ma quasi sempre convincente, di uno dei padri del socialismo moderno.
Stand-up comedian Robert Newman gets to grips with the wars and politics of the last hundred years, from WWI through to the 2003 invasion of Iraq; but rather than adhering to the history we were fed at school, this show places oil centre stage as the cause of all commotion. This innovative history programme is based around Robert Newman's stand-up act and supported by resourceful archive sequences and stills with satirical impersonations of historical figures from Mayan priests to Archduke Ferdinand.
