2011
star 6.3A close look at Alexander the Great - from Macedonia to India. Alexander the Great has always enjoyed a unique status in history.

But what remains today of the "real" Alexander? Of his life and environment? Through the many depictions of the hero and the archaeological traces of his triumphant conquest, this film portrays the legendary figure, who has always been, and continues to be, a great source of inspiration, even for artists of today.Reclamation: The Rise at Standing Rock
