Conspiracies is a documentary series that looks at the conspiracies surrounding different historical events and figures.
Using archived footage, interviews and factual reports from the events the show looks at whether or not popular conspiracies have a solid basis for their suspicions or not.
The show is on SABC2 who are broadcasting three documentaries from the series. They are:
Conspiracies: Indira Gandhi - The Killing Of Mother India
Broadcast on: Thursday 17 May 2007
Archive footage, interviews with key players, and a reconstruction of her last moments are compiled to present a forensic account of Indira Gandhi’s final days.
This documentary presents a snapshot biography of 'The Empress of India' as she faced the greatest test since Independence. It is also a showcase of the men who destroyed her: militant Sikh leader, Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, and Gandhi's two trusted bodyguards who, pushed beyond the limits of loyalty, gunned her down.
This was a seismic event from which her country has never truly recovered.
Producers: Nick Read and Richard Klein.
Conspiracies: Kennedy Assassination - Beyond Conspiracy (in two parts)Broadcast on: Thursday 24 & 31 May 2007
November 22, 2003 marks the 40th anniversary of the assassination of American President John F Kennedy. It was the crime of the century, and many - including the majority of Americans - still regard it as unsolved.
A never-before-seen digital reconstruction based on maps, blueprints, over 500 photographs, the Zapruder film, crime-lab and autopsy reports turns viewers into eyewitnesses. The painstaking research and 70 interviews which contributed to the making of this documentary now puts conspiracy theories to rest.
Detailed explanations of who was behind the cover-ups, shows that there is no evidence that the Mafia, the CIA, nor Fidel Castro were involved in the murder, and convinces the viewer that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
Producers: Mark Obenhaus and Tom Yellin.
