BARBARIANS RISING tells the epic story of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire from the perspective of the barbarian leaders who brought it down. The Roman Empire called them "barbarians" - savage tribes beyond the fringe of civilization. But they were also some of the fiercest warriors in history, men and women who rose up against absolute power so that they might live free, or die. Through fully dramatized portrayals of barbarian icons- including Hannibal, Spartacus, Arminius, Boudica, and Attila-and commentary by an eclectic group of experts and contributors, this four-part docudrama reveals the true story of a 700-year fight for freedom that would shape the world to come.

After a year away from home, disgraced physician Jim Hogan (BAFTA nominee Adrian Dunbar, Line of Duty) returns to make amends with his family. With nowhere else to go, he turns to his dutiful but ailing eldest daughter, Fiona (Gráinne Keenan, Black Mirror: White Christmas), and her cash-strapped husband, Paul (Ian Lloyd Anderson, Love/Hate). Then, one night, Fiona’s car veers off the road into a canal, leading to a disturbing discovery. As the police start investigating, shocking secrets emerge that deepen the rift within the family and derail Jim’s chance at a fresh start. With “exemplary” (Irish Independent) performances, this “twisty-turner thriller” (Digital Spy) explores how love and grief can blind people to the truth.
