FOOTSTEPS IN THE SAND A Documentary

Visionary warrior, ambitious youth, angry son, ruthless conqueror. Such words have been used to describe Alexander the Great. But who exactly was this proclaimed man? When he set out to conquer the world way back in the 4th Century BC, not even the erstwhile philosophers of Ancient Greece could have predicted that the 20 year old would bend the course of history to his will, and make a name for himself that was never to be forgotten.

This is one of the greatest stories of all time, and through the course of this program there will be every opportunity to follow in Alexander's footsteps and enjoy a closer look at the enigmatic man behind the legend. The battles are epic, the landscape dramatic and the exploits of Alexander, beyond compare. His life was short, but lived at a frenetic pace, and whether he should be recorded for posterity as a military genius or a tyrannical madman is a question that has tantalized generations of Alexander enthusiasts, from Ancient Greek scholars right up to present day movie audiences.

Alexander the Great was, is and always will be a mighty box-office attraction, so sit back, relax and discover the true story of this conquering hero and his extraordinary life in history's fast lane.

FOLLOW IN ALEXANDER'S FOOTSTEPS AND LEARN * How a strange relationship with his mother shaped his mind-set. * How studying with the legendary Aristotle helped forge Alexander's destiny. * How the Trojan War and the mighty Achilles were an inspiration to him. * What drove him to fight and win battle after endless battle?

Bruce Hodson.......2006-11-10

Watchable but not entirely satisfactory for me. Naration by writer very boringly presented. The few actors seemed unecessary to the point.

Great Documentary at a great price!.......2006-04-06

This is a very informative DOCUMENTARY...and you can't beat the price! I've watched all the other documentaries and I believe this one to be the best.

Don't be cheap.......2005-01-24

Take my advice; Don't be cheap like I was. Buy the high budget Alexander documentary and be entertained as well as informed on the life and times of one of history's most enigmatic rulers.

Informative and Interesting!.......2004-11-19

This documentary on Alexander the Great was informative, albeit seemingly done on a low budget: the narrator was interesting with quite a British accent. It was great to delve a little deeper into the history of Alexander and his conquests, in preparation for the upcoming film with Colin Farrell and Anjelina Jolie! If you'd like to find out a bit more about Alexander and his conquests, this is a great place to start...
