Capital Cities Of The World Amstedam PEGDVD1343 Think of Amsterdam and for most people the images of tulips, windmills, canals and bicycles will immediately spring to mind. This would be selling the city short, as there is a great deal more to see and do than you would first expect. Like so many European cities, Amsterdam suffered terribly during World War Two and discovering how the city and its occupants survived, is as much a part of the visitor's itinerary today as the more traditional Dutch delights. From the city's darkest days to its finest hour, there are permanent memorials and other surprises tucked around each corner. With beautiful architecture, magnificent waterways, museums, vibrant markets and nightlife, the city offers a plethora of options to entertain even the most difficult of visitors. |

Capital Cities Of The World Rome PEGDVD1342 They say that all roads lead there and a short break to this most historic of capital cities will demonstrate why Rome is held in such high regard.

However, there is more to see in Rome than ancient ruins, as this delightfully filmed DVD will show. After stepping back into antiquity, a visit to the Vatican City where tourists and pilgrims arrive daily will be an inspiration to the soul while taking in the sheer splendour of your surroundings. From the grandeur of St Peter's Square take a stroll down the charming Spanish Steps to the world famous Trevi Fountain, laden with the coins and wishes of millions of starry-eyed visitors. Artists, poets, musicians, celebrities and mere mortals have for centuries all been drawn to Rome and with its perfect blend of old and new it's easy to see why. |

Capital Cities Of The World Dublin PEGDVD1341 In many of the world's great cities travelling between the various attractions can be time consuming and expensive but a visit to Ireland's fascinating capital Dublin will certainly encourage you to travel on foot. Gracing both banks of the River Liffey, even crossing the beautiful bridges is a delightful experience and with classically proportioned Georgian architecture surrounding peaceful elegant greens, it would seem that this is one city that has had a painless evolution. But look a little more closely and Dublin has a very different story to tell. The fight for independence, whether from marauding Vikings or their British neighbours, has dominated Dublin's history and the battle scars can still be found if you know where to look. From the General Post Office on O'Connell Street, that was at the heart of the Easter Rising of 1916, to Dublin Castle, once a symbol of occupation, there are many places of interest that highlight Dublin's tempestuous past. Coupled with this history is a deserved reputation for being one of the most lively and hospitable cities in the world; Dublin the jewel of the Emerald Isle. |

The Berlin Wall Escape To Freedom PEGDVD1325 A tyrannical regime builds a monstrous concrete slab that severs a city - the Berlin Wall. On the Western side, it's a hated symbol of a bitter Cold War, on the East, a deadly blockade to freedom. The Berlin Wall: Escape To Freedom reveals the stories of courageous East Germans who dared to challenge the authorities and the Berlin Wall in their bid for freedom. From tunnelling under the Wall, to smuggling refugees in a car's trunk, to flights over the Wall, uncover the details of sensational escape stories. It takes us into the heart of the Death Strip - a lethal zone next to a Wall filled with barbed wire, mines, attack dogs, tank traps, and armed guards - and shows us how authorities learned from each escape to make the Wall stronger and harder to beat. Finally, the Wall that was strengthened over 28 years was breached in one unbelievable night, while signs of the divisions of generations past still lingers on today. |

Return To Kirkuk A Year In THe Fire PEGDVD1292 At a time when all eyes are focused on the political and military turmoil in the Middle East, Pegasus Entertainment is proud to present Karzan Sherabayani's powerful documentary 'Return To Kirkuk - A Year In The Fire'. This thought provoking, intelligent and emotional story gives a unique insight into the true political feeling and civil unrest in Iraq today. It was 30 years ago that a 14 year old boy Karzan Sherabayani was arrested and tortured by Saddam Hussein's secret police, his only crime being that he was Kurdish. After 25 long years in exile, Karzan now a British citizen has returned to his childhood home to vote in Iraq's first democratic election. Having been banished for so long, Karzan now asks the people of Kirkuk if they accept the path promoted by the West...a path that will inevitably lead to a divided Iraq or bloody civil war. In this incredible documentary, Karzan exposes the city that sits upon one of the world's largest oil deposits, as a place where old ethnic and sectarian divisions are still rife. Kirkuk he says is a microcosm of the new Iraq. During the year it took to make the programme Karzan confronted old demons from his past and met with the heroes and villains who are fashioning the country's dangerous and uncertain future. Kirkuk, the spiritual capital of Iraqi-controlled Kurdistan has always been on fire, it's known by the local people as the 'land of warmth'. Follow one man's incredible insight into a city at the crossroads of history. For Karzan Sherabayani it has been a year in the fire... |

Cult Car The Ford Capri PEGDVD1273 The Ford Capri is an iconic car. From its development in the late 1960s it became hugely popular and well-loved, instantly recognisable on the streets of 70s Britain, as much a part of that decade as kipper ties and flared-trousers!
