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.

"The story of the English painter Dora Carrington is vividly brought to life by Academy Award-winning actress Emma Thompson (Best Actress, Howards End 1993) in the Christopher Hampton (The Secret Agent) directed Carrington. Carrington explores the friendship between the talented painter and the British author Lytton Stracey (Jonathan Pryce, Brazil) from 1915 until 1932.

Based on the biographical text Carrington by Michael Holroyd, and scripted by playwright Hampton (best known for works such as Dangerous Liaisons, Savages, The Philanthropist), Carrington features supporting performances by Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow), Rufus Sewell (The Holiday), Samuel West (Howards End), Penelope Wilton (Match Point) and is photographed by Denis Lenoir (Still Alice, The Secret Agent) and scored by Michael Nyman (The Piano; The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover)."
