Greece: Secrets of the Past

Using the science of modern archaeology, MacGillivray Freeman’s Greece: Secrets of the Past transports audiences back in time to the dawn of democracy and the birthplace of Western Civilization on a quest to uncover the buried secrets of one of the world’s most enlightened societies--ancient Greece. Featuring state-of-the-art CGI, Greece: Secrets of the Past probes some of the greatest lingering mysteries of this remarkable civilization: How did the Greek empire of some 2,500 years ago flourish so fantastically? Why did it suddenly fall? And what inspiration does the Greek’s passionate quest for truth and knowledge continue to hold for our lives today? At once a modern detective story and a sweeping journey to the distant past, Greece: Secrets of the Past offers a new and exciting perspective on an age of universal importance to us all.
