Marking the 70th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, historian Professor David Reynolds re-assesses Stalins role in the life and death struggle between Germany and Russia in World War Two, which, he argues, was ultimately more critical for British survival than Our Finest Hour in the Battle of Britain itself.

In 1945, as war raged across the world, an incredible drama was unfolding in the remote jungles of Borneo. This film follows the extraordinary experiences of a group of stranded US airmen, the local tribe of Dayaks, and Major Tom Harrisson, one of the most eccentric officers in the British Army, who encouraged the ancient custom of headhunting against the Japanese.

A gripping and improbable tale of cat and mouse followed.
