Famous & Murdered - True Stories

Famous & Murdered - True Stories

Studio Minuit

In this series of fascinating stories, you will meet John Lennon, Grigori Rasputin, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Sharon Tate... and many other powerful people. What they all have in common is that they were murdered. These men and women died because their paths crossed those of jealous, sick or vigilante people who decided that they should not live anymore. They were human beings, you could have met them all, or almost all (look for the intruder!). As powerful and famous as they were, their lives, like yours, were hanging by a thread. What were the motives of their killers? How and why did they achieve their goals? This is what we will tell you in this new production produced by "Studio Minuit". Written by Sandrine Brugot, narrated by Katie Haigh.

  • 41 - Often, man changes : The assassination of Thomas Beckett (1170)

  • 38 - The Man Who Dreamed of a Better World : The assassination of Martin Luther King (1968)

    On August 28th,1963, Martin Luther King pronounced this short phrase that would remain famous: "I had a dream". This black American pastor dreamed of a world of peace, where all men would be equal and brothers. Although the laws establishing segregation had been repealed, the United  States still practices segregation between blacks and whites on a daily basis. And violence against African Americans has never stopped. Many people struggle against the injustice of a two tiered country. Some choose to respond to violence with violence, others take a different, less radical path. For Rev. Martin Luther King, hate did not eliminate hate, only love would.

    You will recall that we left John the Fearless triumphant in 1407 when he had just had his cousin and rival Louis I of Orleans, brother of King Charles VI, assassinated. It was now 1419 and John had  come a long way. The unfortunate Charles VI, then known as the Mad King, had been ruling for thirty-nine years. His fits of madness lead cousin John to want to take over the throne. But Charles VI now had an heir, the dauphin Charles. And although some suspect that he was in fact the son of Louis I of Orleans, Queen Isabeau's lover before he was murdered, he was still the official heir...
