The British Secret Service has been cloaked in secrecy and shrouded in myth since it was created a hundred years ago. Our understanding of what it is to be a spy has been largely defined by the fictional worlds of James Bond and John le Carre. THE ART OF BETRAYAL provides a unique and unprecedented insight into this secret world and the reality that lies behind the fiction. It tells the story of how the secret service has changed since the end of World War II and by focusing on the people and the relationships that lie at the heart of espionage, revealing the danger, the drama, the intrigue, the moral ambiguities and the occasional comedy that comes with working for British intelligence. From the defining period of the early Cold War through to the modern day, MI6 has undergone a dramatic transformation from a gung-ho, amateurish organisation to its modern, no less controversial, incarnation. Gordon Corera reveals the triumphs and disasters along the way. The grand dramas of the Cold War and after - the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the 11 September attacks and the Iraq war - are the backdrop for the human stories of the individual spies whose stories form the centrepiece of the narrative. But some of the individuals featured here, in turn, helped shape the course of those events. Corera draws on the first-hand accounts of those who have spied, lied and in some cases nearly died in service of the state. They range from the spymasters to the agents they ran to their sworn enemies. Many of these accounts are based on exclusive interviews and access. From Afghanistan to the Congo, from Moscow to the back streets of London, these are the voices of those who have worked on the front line of Britain's secret wars. And the truth is often more remarkable than the fiction. Features Summary The secret history of MI6 - from the Cold War to the present day.

BUGTIME ADVENTURES A BIBLE STORY - AGAINST THE WALL - THE REHAB STORY Synopsis: After wandering the desert for many years, the Hebrew people are eager to reach the Promised Land. However, the enemy city of Jericho stands in their way. Inside this walled fortress lives a woman named Rahab who wants to be free of this unjust city. Rahab helps the Hebrew spies, and in return, they promise to help her entire family escape the city. Everyone expects a major battle, but God has other plans for Joshua and his army. Along for the journey, our bug friends also find themselves up against a wall. Roderick wants to give up right away, but Antoni and Megan know that if they stay on the right path, one way or the other, they’ll make it through. They try over, under, around, and through the cracks in the wall but fail to get to the other side – that is, until Wally steps up. "Against the Wall" conveys the importance of not giving up when on the right path.   Starring: Animation   Category: Animation, Biblical   Age Restriction: ALL AGES
