Anne Frank Remembered on History (DStv channel 186) takes a look at the life of one of the world’s most renowned victims of the Holocaust. Many of us know the story of Anne Frank, the young Jewish girl who became posthumously famous after her diary chronicling her experiences during the Second World War was published. This portrait of Anne’s life uses previously unreleased archival material, as well as contemporary interviews, to paint a more rounded picture of what is perhaps the world’s most famous victim of the Holocaust. Stars Glenn Close and Kenneth Branagh lend their voices as narrators while Miep Gies, who risked death to shelter the Frank family, is also interviewed. Anne Frank Remembered (Documentary) can be seen on March 21 on History (DStv channel 186) at 20h15

Imagine being able to join a real Innuit
hunter on a trip into the wilderness, to watch first-hand as he tracks animals

that follows life on the edge of climate change. The Inuit will explain how and
why he lives life this way, along with the nature of the snow he must use for
