The documentary series "Krepšinio namai" is dedicated to the occasion of the centenary of Lithuanian basketball. The first basketball match in Lithuania was played in 1922, between the national team of the temporary capital and the Lithuanian Physical Education Union. This match is considered the beginning of basketball in our country. It would probably be difficult to find a person in the country who does not admire the achievements of our basketball players, and it will never be enough to be happy about what made Lithuania famous all over the world. There is no doubt that basketball has had a huge impact on Lithuania itself, and the documentary series will also reveal the cultural, social and political significance of sporting events.

Biography is a documentary television series. It was originally a half-hour filmed series produced for CBS by David Wolper from 1961 to 1964 and hosted by Mike Wallace. The A&E Network later re-ran it and has produced new episodes since 1987. The older version featured historical figures such as Helen Keller and Mark Twain, or long-dead entertainment figures such as Will Rogers or John Barrymore. The A&E series has placed the emphasis on such people as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Plácido Domingo, Freddie Mercury, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Eric Clapton, Pope John Paul II, Gene Tierney, Selena, Diego Rivera, Mao Zedong and Queen Elizabeth II, and fictional characters like The Phantom, Superman, Hamlet, Betty Boop, and Santa Claus. The program ended up profiling enough figures that in 1999, A&E spun it off into an entire network, The Biography Channel.
