Synopsis
In this six-part documentary respected author, journalist and lecturer Professor Niall Ferguson examines the dynamic role of money as he takes you on an epic tour of the financial world. A professor in History and Business Administration at Harvard University, as well as an author of numerous books and a commentator on contemporary politics and economics, Ferguson explains how finance rose to play such a terrifyingly dominant role in all our lives. This beautifully-shot documentary covers a broad spectrum of economic history from the 14th Century right up to the present day. But are you in on the secret? Do you really understand what causes a bank run, an inflationary meltdown or a stock market crash? Can you tell a sub-prime from a prime loan? Only with this historical perspective can one understand the essential truth about finance.

Satanic Sluts II - The Black MassesSatanic Sluts II - The Black Masses
Directed by Nigel Wingrove
Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.co.uk

Product Description

Nominated for Film of the Year 2008, UKAFTA (UK Adult Film and Television Awards), The Satanic Sluts, the darkest and most attitudinal all female collective on the planet are back, this time in strength, as they spill blood and expose flesh in the hallowed environment of Black Mass, a literal Hell on earth. Originally formed as a fusion of the satanic, vampyric, fetishistic and alternative culture generally Black Mass rapidly evolved into a showcase for the Satanic Sluts' 'Cabaret Extreme'! At Black Mass the Satanic Sluts were totally off the leash and for eleven nights over eleven months the denizens of the nether world that was Black Mass witnessed everything from nun rape to Nazi Go Go dancers. No subject was taboo or too extreme for the Satanic Sluts to tackle and for those lucky enough to be there Black Mass was a truly blasphemous, unique and utterly non PC experience. Now for the first time anywhere you can witness the likes of the Satanic Sluts members like Belladonna, Voluptua, Tiara Tart, Dischordia, Morrigan Hel, Poisoned Venus et al as they assault your senses, summon Satan and prepare to reclaim the night.
