The World After WWII | How 1945 Changed Everything

From Prince William’s extraordinary upbringing and the tragedy of losing Diana to Kate Middleton’s middle-class childhood and entry into royal life, this documentary explores how two very different worlds came together. It follows their university romance, royal wedding, growing family and increasing responsibilities as they prepare for their future roles at the heart of the monarchy.

In 1990s New Orleans, the line between police and cartel muscle vanished. Then the FBI wired up the streets. This episode tracks Operation Shattered Shield from a desperate call by dealer Terry “Scabu” Adams to a high-stakes sting that exposed NOPD officers Len Davis and Sammy Williams. See how an informant’s hidden mic, a bugged truck, and a hotel room laced with cameras dismantled a protection racket. Watch undercover agent “JJ” earn the trust of armed cops, maneuver a risky warehouse plan, and force the key word they never wanted to say. When a coded “30” order collides with the murder of Kim Groves, the case takes a darker turn. Why did a midday delivery nearly implode the operation? How did heatwave complaints hand the FBI its best listening post? And what made a jury reach a verdict in minutes? Step inside the investigation that flipped officers, captured irrefutable tapes, and forced a broken department to face itself. Watch to see how it all closes in.

In this true crime documentary, detectives reopen two disturbing sexual assault cold cases that remained unsolved for decades. A nurse recounts being brutally attacked by a stranger in broad daylight while another survivor returns to the scene of her terrifying ordeal. Investigators re-examine forgotten evidence and use advanced DNA testing to hunt for the men responsible. The investigation delivers a shocking breakthrough in one case—but leaves haunting questions unanswered in the other.
