故事发生在1968年的南非，严格残酷的种族隔离制度让在那里生活着的两千五百万黑人面临着悲惨的命运。为了维护种族的权利，一部分黑人们奋起反抗，但等待着他们的结局不是驱逐出境就是被关押在罗宾岛监狱之中。 詹姆斯（约瑟夫·费因斯 Joseph Fiennes 饰）就出生在这样恶劣的局势之中，幸运的是，他是一位不折不扣的白人。从小大人们就向詹姆斯灌输着“黑人低人一等”的荒谬概念，成年之后，已然完全被洗脑的詹姆斯成为了罗宾岛监狱的一名看守，而他所看管的囚犯正是南非的民主斗士曼德拉（丹尼斯·海斯伯特 Dennis Haysbert 饰）。随着时间的推移，对黑人们越来越了解的詹姆斯开始对自己的所作所为产生了质疑——难道白人就真的可以这样理所当然的囚禁和侮辱自己的同胞吗？。Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。
