History

History at ORTV begins in ancient Egypt and continues right up to the very recent past. Whether it's 'Warhorse', our four-part survey of mounted warfare through the ages, or 'The Quest for King Charles's Treasure', or 'Stalin's Lost Victims', all ORTV's history films share the same values: a strong narrative, memorable characters, and insight into the past. Here the company's Middle East expertise is well to the fore, as in 'Battle for the Gulf', the first Gulf War seen through Arab eyes, or 'Dead in the Water', our definitive investigation of the mysterious attack on the USS Liberty during the Six Day War.
