HISTORY / OTHER COUNTRIES / GLOBALIZATION / CAPITALISM THE FASTEST MAN ON ONE LEG: The Paralympic Winter Games This program traces the growth of the Paralympic Games from a dream of English neuro-surgeon Sir Ludwig Guttman - who in 1948 organized a sports competition to help the rehabilitation of injured World War II veterans in Stoke Mandeville, England - to an elite sport event of today with over 900 athletes representing 35 countries. The Paralympic Winter Games is a major event on the Olympic calendar. The Games emphasize the participants' athletic achievements rather than their disability. Just like the Olympic Games the Paralympics have their own flair, heroes and human interest stories. "The Fastest Man on One Leg" takes you to the games from Rome 1960 to Vancouver 2010 and features the Paralympic Winter Games champions of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Distinctively featured are Canadians, Americans and European athletes with disabilities. #12912/0315 45 minutes 2009 $149.95 DEMOCRACY: The Basics The three DVDs in this excellent new series are interactive and each program includes questions and quizzes: RELIGION AND DEMOCRACY.

In March 2001, the ruling Taliban destroyed the tallest stone statues in the world, the 'Buddhas of Bamiyan'. One of the refugees who now live among the ruins is an eight-year-old boy called Mir. This astonishingly intimate film explores the lives of Mir and his family. Through summer, winter and spring, against the magnificent backdrop of Bamiyan and its ruined statues, we follow Mir's adventures as he gets into the kind of fun and mischief of any 8-year-old boy would. The adults who are part of Mir's young life reveal what it's been like here over the past two decades, a period in which hundreds of thousands of children like Mir have been killed. Phil Grabsky's film is a unique portrait of everyday life in modern Afghanistan. #12194/1893 96 minutes 2002 $279.95 BRAZIL: An Inconvenient History "An outstanding film, winner of the Houston Film Festival Gold Award, directed by Phil Grabsky." At first glance Brazil appears to be an alluring playground of exciting carnivals, sultry samba, divine football and a vibrantly diverse people. But behind this dazzling facade lies a disturbing story of history's largest-ever slave population. Astonishingly Brazil, a Portuguese colony, received ten times more African slaves than the numbers transported to North America. This program looks at those estimated 4 million people with whose blood, sweat and tears Brazil was built. Without them none of Brazil's present-day success and appeal would exist. Using contemporary testimonies, this film takes a hard look at Brazil's dark history through the eyes of those slaves. They lived in squalid conditions on remote plantations or in teeming cities harbouring fatal diseases. Most Africans survived only seven years in this 'New World'. Some, however, did survive to create a new culture - a fusion of African and European. This new ethnicity permeates and explains the modern Brazilian way of life. #12197/1893 50 minutes 2000 $279.95 70
MESSENGERS OF TRUTH "Messengers of Truth" features socially committed African and European Hip-Hop artists who have joined forces to empower urban youth around the world. This program is being used in workshops, seminars, conferences, and classrooms to generate discussions among young people encouraging them take a proactive stand on decision-making processes that affect their lives, and to raise public awareness on matters ranging from world peace to women’s rights and urban slum conditions. Features Lam from Sudan, a former child soldier whose Hip-Hop hit song "Give up the Gun" was the inspiration for an Africawide campaign to encourage child soldiers to turn in their weapons and peacefully return to their communities. Rolf Stahlhofen, one of the foremost R&B singers in Germany involved with many social causes to combat poverty, social exclusion and violence. Daniella Lino, a singer from southern Sudan who raps about critical social, economic and environmental issues. Gidi Gidi, a vibrant Hip-Hop artist from Kenya. His hit song "Unbowgable" (No Fear) was so popular during the Kenyan elections of 2008, that it became the theme song for the opposition. #12911/0315 7 minutes 2009 $89.95 CALL@JUSTICE: We Want to be Free On the 60th anniversary of the Council of Europe - the oldest European political organization upholding human rights, democracy and the rule of law in 47 countries - we go to Eastern Europe - that half of Europe which has for decades been seen as grey, secretive and unwelcoming - to explore how its people, particularly the new generation, see rights and freedoms two decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Features groundbreaking cases from the Council of Europe's Court of Human Rights in three post-Soviet countries - conflicts of justice, freedom and human rights - the victims and the powers that be: RELIGION AND NATIONALISM IN RUSSIA - In a decision overturning the refusal by Russian authorities to register the Church of Scientology of Moscow, the European Court of Human Rights determined that this Church is a religious community entitled to the rights afforded such communities under the European Convention on Human Rights. GAY PRIDE PARADES AND FREEDOM IN POLAND - Gay rights activists take the Polish government to court and for the first time ever the European Court of Human Rights rules that banning gay pride parades goes against freedom of assembly and association. SECRET DETENTIONS AND STATE SECURITY IN GEORGIA - On the case of Tengiz Assanidze vs. the Republic of Georgia the European Court of Human Rights held unanimously that there had been a violation of the right to liberty and security. In many countries of the former Soviet Union the use of the judicial system to settle political scores is still a major source of concern. #12696/0315 45 minutes 2009 $189.95 CROSSROADS: Inside the European Union Europe is undergoing a dramatic metamorphosis.

FRONTLINE reveals how multi-national companies create slush funds, set up front companies, and make secret payments, all to get billions in business.
