Alexander the Great	Beginning with Macedonia, the empire of Alexander the Great quickly grew to include Mesopotamia, Assyria, Babylonia, Persia, Egypt, and a portion of India—in fact, it encompassed virtually all of the known world of ancient times. This program profiles Alexander I, a warrior-king of mythic proportions and truly a legend in his own time. Left without an heir upon his death, the incredible empire quickly dissolved.

Searching for the Roots of 9/11	What drove 19 young, middle-class Muslim men to commit a coordinated suicide attack against the U.S. on 9/11? And why does their violent act continue to elicit support from so many Muslims throughout the world? In this program, New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman—a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner and author of Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After September 11—travels the Middle East and Southeast Asia in search of answers to these troubling questions.

Suleyman the Magnificent	This program chronicles the brilliant exploits and initiatives of Suleyman I, dubbed "the Magnificent" by an admiring Europe.

In addition, art, architecture, science, theology, and the law all flourished under his rule—a reign that marked the peak of Ottoman influence. A Discovery Channel Production.
