E2Men of the WorldMen Of The World – the second of this fascinating, five-part series chronicling the adventures of Kahn's photographers as they journeyed around the globe – tells the story of Kahn and Dutertre's intrepid global odyssey: an adventure that would produce some of the earliest-known colour pictures taken in the US, Japan, China and Brazil. - Europe on the Brink
E3Europe on the BrinkIt is the eve of the First World War and Kahn's photographers are travelling from the West, where they capture the timeless values of traditional rural lives, to the East, where they witness the emerging force of nationalism – a force that would plunge Eastern Europe, and then the world, into war. - The Civilians' Story
E5The Civilians' StoryIn The Civilians' Story, viewers see harrowing images of the many French towns that were razed, their churches and civic buildings destroyed to leave a desolate, almost lunar landscape. The programme witnesses some of the individual acts of quiet heroism by the nurses and doctors who tended the wounded, and sees the relief and sheer joy of the Armistice Day celebrations.
