A Documentary About Boudica, Queen Of The Iceni Tribe .

I'm going to be adding more interesting documentaries to my blog. I love anything to do with history and I also love a good story. The story of Boudica is a good one, think Braveheart only slightly more feminine 😉. Basically in 60AD she has a few issues with the Roman's in ancient Britain . This results in a slightly violent dispute which causes a few issues. I won't say too much more, I don't want to spoil the documentary 😊

Promotional Postcard for Interflug, national airline for East Germany between 1963 and 1990. This postcard shows stationary and moving aircraft at Berlin-Schönefeld Airport. The image was taken by a photographer named Kiesling.

Images such as these from East Germany, and indeed any state funded enterprise, blur the lines between corporate marketing and propaganda
