Angels & Demons Revealed Who are the Illuminati?

What is their history?

What do they have planned?

This explosive documentary brings to light new evidence about a hidden organization, known to history as the Illuminati. Did this secret society assist in assassinating a Pope?

Do the espionage agencies of the world’s super powers have ties to these clandestine power brokers? For the first time, the truth comes to light about how this secret organization has survived the centuries, and may still be influential today.

The upcoming Tom Hanks film Angels & Demons is based on Dan Brown’s book of the same name. Brown’s best-selling book The DaVinci Code has made him a household name, and Angels & Demons has enjoyed similar literary success. Ron Howard is directing the new film, which opened May 15 in theaters everywhere.

Angels & Demons Revealed is hosted by veteran British actor Patrick Macnee.

The Confederates Romance still surrounds the brave but doomed Confederate Army of the American Civil War, and in particular, Robert E. Lee’s army of Northern Virginia. A brilliant military tactician and an outstanding leader of men, Lee was also a humane and compassionate man with a deep love for his wife and family. This is the story of how Lee’s rag-tag army came within a whisker of defeating their Union enemies.

From the optimistic days of 1861 to the emotional but timely surrender in 1865, this DVD provides a unique insight into the life of the Rebel Army. It features large-scale battle reconstructions, dramatized “eyewitness” accounts, and expert analysis. Narrated by Bob Sessions & Billy J. Mitchell.
