Pirates, man-made disasters and world tyrants.
Among the variety of action films, rom-coms and fantasy adventures on the Netflix shelves, you can also find more serious works. These include historical series that look not at the embroidery on the luxurious dresses of past centuries, but at the impact of bad decisions on the fate of humanity.
This selection contains 8 of the best examples of such projects that will make you look at famous historical events with a fresh look:
Fans of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ often wondered what the pirates really were. A documentary project by David McNab and Patrick Dickinson has taken the liberty of answering this question. The series received moderately high ratings on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, where reviewers praised the series for its “sex, violence and history”.
In 2019, the whole world discussed the tragedy at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, but the premiere of “Firsthand: Three Mile Island” about a man-made disaster in the United States was much quieter. Perhaps the problem lies in the promotion’s marketing strategy, or the producers did not want to remind the world of the fatal mistakes of the US government, which led to terrible consequences for the population. Somehow, the series received high ratings across several review aggregators.
For 2 hours and 44 minutes, the authors of the documentary project instructed viewers: “How to become a tyrant?” Using the examples of Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin and other leaders, the creators have listed point by point the steps that anyone who craves absolute power will have to take.
