Trefwoord Constitution

De dieren op Manor Farm kunnen de verwaarlozing en wreedheid van hun baas, Mr. Jones niet langer verdragen. Onder leiding van de varkens Snowball en Napoleon jagen de dieren hun baas en zijn vrouw het erf af en proberen een wereld te creëren waarin alle dieren gelijk zijn. Al snel heeft Napoleon de smaak van macht te pakken en jaagt Snowball weg. Nu staat Napoleon alleen aan de macht en creëert een regime net zo corrupt en wreed als die van zijn baas. De dieren op Manor Farm komen in opstand en doen er alles aan om Manor Farm tot een paradijs te maken waar ze in harmonie kunnen leven. Dit unieke verhaal naar George Orwell’s klassieker is meesterlijk verfilmd met de stemmen van o.a.: Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart, Peter Ustinov, Julia Louis-Dreyfus en de verbazingwekkende animatie trucs van Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.

The True Believers is a 1988 Australian mini series which looks at the history of the Australian Labor Party from the end of World War Two up to the Australian Labor Party split of 1955. It was co-written by Bob Ellis who focused on three characters "Chifley, the unlettered man of great dignity; Menzies, who used to stand for something but eventually stood only for Menzies; and Evatt, the grand idealist... It's almost like Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1. It's a chunk of national history during Australia's great era of change after the war."

National identity, social class, inequality. David Olusoga shines a light on our fractured modern society through the lens of the past, exposing the fault lines dividing the UK.

CONSTITUTION USA, From New York to San Francisco, from Missoula, Montana to Tyler, Texas, Host Peter Sagal visits people across America introducing viewers to some of today’s major constitutional debates : free speech in the digital age, same-sex marriage, voting rights, separation of church and state, presidential power in the post-9/11 world, to name just a few, and the fascinating stories of the people they affect every day. And for each contemporary story, Sagal dives into the history behind it and talks to prominent legal scholars, historians and public figures, finding out what the Constitution says, the dramatic historical events and crises that defined the Constitution, and why all this matters.

In the year of the presidential elections in the US, journalist Eelco Bosch van Rosenthal and director Hans Pool sketch a portrait of the most activist generation since the 1970s: Generation Z. However, the freedom they demand collides with other freedoms, and nowhere does that collision occur as on the surface as in Florida, a state where 'freedom' is rotten in everyone's mouth.

Hosted by Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg, A More or Less Perfect Union features perspectives and interviews from constitutional experts of all stripes - liberal, conservative and libertarian - examining the key issues of liberty: freedom of religion and press, slavery and civil rights, the Second Amendment, separation of powers and more. Constitutional experts, citizens and in dramatic recreations, the Framers themselves--weigh in on the unique document, the rule of law, the three branches of government separated to prevent tyranny, and the debate over originalism versus a living Constitution.
