More than 40 years after their deaths, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X remain two of the world's most famous political activists. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in October 1964, Martin Luther King was the world-renowned symbol of the American Civil Rights movement. At the same time, Malcolm X was revered as an icon in Africa, where heads of state lined up to receive him. They embody two very different dreams: two characters, two philosophies and visions for America. This programme follows their life stories and how their vision changed history. As dèidh dà dhuais Sìth Nobel a chosnadh ann an 1964, bha Martin Luther King ainmeil mar thosgaire airson iomairt chòraichean catharra Ameireagaidh. Aig an aon àm, bha Malcolm X aithnichte ann an Afraga far an robh cinn-stàite uile airson coinneachadh ris. Bha na h-amasan aig gach fear gu tur eadar- healaichte: dà charactar, feallsanachd agus amas eadar-dhealaichte airson Ameireagaidh. Tha am prògram seo a' leantainn sgeulachdan am beatha agus mar a dh' atharraich iad eachdraidh an t-saoghail.

Tha am prògram seo gar toirt gu cridhe na còmhstri a chur stad air an riaghaltas poilitigeach a bu mhiosa san t-saoghal.

Che Guevara, the radical thinker, and Fidel Castro, the political animal - could they ever share the role of Latin America's liberator? Did Che Guevara, the diehard combatant, set off towards certain death in Bolivia? Or did the manipulative Fidel Castro abandon the friend who he saw as an ever-increasing liability.

The biggest name in female fashion design must be Gabrielle Chanel. It seems obvious today, but it wasn't always the case. From the end of the 1920s her supremacy was fiercely contested. Another designer, just as famous and equally admired, disputed the title of the 'queen of haute couture' - Elsa Schiaparelli. Their styles were diametrically opposed. Their clientele were identical. From this paradox was born the most bitter rivalry in the history of high fashion, which gave rise to the most important innovations haute couture has ever seen. In this programme, Marisa Berenson, Schiaparelli's granddaughter, and Claude Delay, a close friend of Chanel's, evoke the lives and rivalry of two great pioneers in the emancipation of women. 'S e Gabrielle Chanel an t-ainm as motha ann an dealbhadh fasain bhoireannaich. Tha e gu math follaiseach an-diugh, ach cha robh e a-riamh mar seo. Bho deireadh nam ficheadan, bha Elsa Schiaparelli, dealbhaiche eile, a' farpais na h-aghaidh gus an tiotal 'queen of haute couture' a ghleidheil. Bha na stoidhlichean aca gu tur eadar-dhealaichte ach 's ann ri na h-aon luchd-ceannachd a bha iad a' farpais. Bhon eadar-dhealachadh seo, thàinig còmhstri, a' chòmhstri a bu mhotha ann an eachdraidh an fhasain ach 's e seo a thug cruth-atharrachadh air a' ghnìomhachas. Anns a' phrògram seo, tha Marisa Berenson, ogha Schiaparelli agus Claude Delay, càraid dha Chanel, ag innse mun bheatha agus mun chòmhstri a bh' eadar an dà dhealbhadair air leth seo, a' sealltainn na rinn iad airson còraichean bhoireannach aig an àm.

Two epic career paths for two exceptional figures. Two geniuses who never even met, but who, over a 40-year period, waged a relentless battle to be the first to reach the moon.
