Chancellor Helmut Kohl - visionary statesman or sinister threat to
European liberties? David Sells explores the motivation behind one of the most formidable of modern political leaders. He follows Kohl's journey from a terrified, 15-year-old Hitler Youth recruit to the cosy embodiment of postwar recovery, and shows how the drama of German reunification prompted his personal drive towards greater European union. Producer Chris Bowlby
