This well-made German ZDF documentary details the life of Alexander the Great, the Greek king who conquered Persia for Greece while he was in his twenties.

This episode details the early life of Alexander the Great, where he grew up being trained as a warrior, tutored by Aristotle, and expecting to one day be the king of his province.  Alexander’s kingdom of Macedonia was initially thought of as being somewhat of a “backwater” area before Alexander took control of most of Greece and embarked on his ambitious campaign of conquering Persia.
