Gobernar con mano de hierro requiere conocer muy bien el juego del poder absoluto, como lo demuestran los dictadores de la historia en esta sarcástica serie documental.

Mussolini seized power in Italy in 1922, after his March on Rome. He would hold it in his grasp until his death in 1945, establishing a dictatorship that lasted more than 20 years. Long considered a buffoon and a second-rate dictator, Il Duce invented fascism that was imitated by Hitler, who viewed the Italian as his political master. He wanted to transform his country into a warrior nation and promised Italians a return to the grandeur of the Roman Empire. He governed by violence and trickery and was one of the first populist leaders of modern times, leading his country into the catastrophe of the World War II. But who was Mussolini, this former teacher who came from the extreme left to become a newspaper editor and creator of the Fascist Party? Why did he ally himself with Hitler? Were the Italians really behind him? With archives and interviews with the last-surviving witnesses of the era, this portrait takes a look back at one of the most notorious dictators of the 20th century.

La extraordinaria historia de la única dinastía comunista del mundo a lo largo de tres generaciones. Una gran parte del mundo pudo ver al escurridizo líder de Corea del Norte, Kim Jong-un, a principios de 2018 cuando mantuvo un encuentro con el presidente Donald Trump en Singapur. Pero para entender realmente a Kim y su lugar en la historia de Corea del Norte, hay que remontarse más de 70 años atrás, cuando su abuelo y, posteriormente, su padre, se convirtieron en líderes del “reino ermitaño”. Esta es una historia de cómo un sencillo combatiente guerrillero surgido del campo de batalla tomó el control de un país que buscaba un líder desesperadamente, y la historia de una dinastía familiar como ninguna vista antes.
