Before history, there were stories. Gods and monsters, heroes and tricksters, creation and destruction — every culture on earth looked at the unknown and answered it with myth. When Gods Walked retells those stories the way they were always meant to be heard: by firelight, with the full weight of what they meant to the people who told them. One tale per episode, drawn from a different corner of the world. Not a lecture. A story.

Per gli antichi coloro che non ubbidivano alle convenzioni sociali venivano condannati a una vita errante: abbandonati a bordo di una nave che li tenesse lontani dalla città, senza possibilità di ritorno alla terra ferma. Ma è possibile che i grandi personaggi che la storia ci ha tramandato come eccentrici, diversi o addirittura pazzi, siano stati troppo moderni per il loro tempo, vittime di giochi di potere o semplicemente affetti da malattie all’epoca sconosciute? “La nave dei folli. Oltre la ragione” è la nuova docuserie Sky Exclusive che attraverso le incredibili vite di ...

You might think you know who wrote the Constitution. Maybe (rich, white, male) politicians like George Washington and James Madison spring to mind. But that's only half the story.

And it leaves out the immigrants, workers, women, and queer folks who made the reconstructed Constitution theirs. Reconstructed paints a fuller picture of the many hands that made our Constitution, and explores what their legacies mean for us today.
