A Television Journey into the lives of Six Remarkable Personalities of our Time. For more than two decades, David Aikman, former senior correspondent for Time Magazine, lived and worked amid the famous and powerful, reporting from world capitals as the history of the century unfolded before his eyes. During the course of those turbulent years, he encountered people in positions of power and influence, celebrities and commoners, and personalities of every persuasion and lifestyle. Among his travels, David was struck by a select few men and women who seemed to embody qualities of character and inner strength of purpose that had propelled their lives into the world spotlight. Their incredible influence upon our world was born not out of their position or office, but out of themselves, out of inner qualities that had guided their own lives and literally shaped the destiny of our twentieth century. Each embodies a quality that defines true heroism. Together they can truly be called GREAT SOULS.
