General Dwight D Eisenhower and Field-Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery may have been comrades-in-arms but private correspondence reveals a bitter conflict between them. Ike and Monty - Generals at War is the first of four biographical documentaries investigating the image of five of this century's most powerful figures.
Dr Schweitzer became a 20th century hero when he turned his back on a brilliant career in Europe to run a jungle hospital in the heart of Africa. But in the 1960s the controversy started: was he a saint or racist, a colonialist or a humanitarian? This film visits Schweitzer's hospital in the African jungle to hear from his daughter and people who worked with him. It also explores the radically different views of Schweitzer today - views which reflect the problematic relationship between Africa and the West.
