Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。《扬帆，启航！》这是一部基于真实事件，真实人物改编而成的纪录片电影；本片是一部带有西方古典音乐管乐为艺术符号、发生在当下的人物青春励志片。讲述了一位特殊学校的校长，利用十年时间，与学校的盲人学生一起共同在音乐的陪伴下，相互成长，相互成就最终造就了一支专业盲人管乐团的故事。这是一部描绘成长与梦想的影片，是一部极具教育意义的影片；原本这是一群身体天生具有障碍的学生，但是在性格倔强的校长不断坚持下，意外的接触到了音乐；他们在音乐漫长的熏陶与陪伴中，消除了自身的障碍、跨越了彼此内心深处的隔阂、超越了生理缺陷，在原本黑暗的世界里，“听”到了光的声音，于是，奇迹也就在一个个平凡无奇的日子里，悄然发生。。
