Season 1 Episode 4

Nigel Spivey examines the evolution of visual storytelling, drawing parallels between ancient narrative artwork and modern movies. His journey takes him to Iraq, where he discovers how the Mesopotamian civilisation created the first recorded epic, carved on clay tablets. He also examines the images on Trajan's column in Rome, which uses methods similar to today's film-making techniques to document the emperor's life, and learns about the storytelling traditions of the Australian Aborigines
