Mayo'. In recent years, their protest has widened to include many contemporary 

issues. Their president, 73-year-old Hebe de Bonafini was recently in Australia.

Narrator, Jessy Joe Walsh with the participation of Morley Safer ... [et al.]. 

A documentary on American television and war reporting, examining its nature, 

relationship with the state, and how it has become the Pentagon's weapon of war 

aimed at the public. Traces it back to the 1960s, when television was still in 

its infancy, and the Vietnam War was happening. By the time of the war in Iraq, 

the American television, with more war experience and equipped with more 

advanced high tech could flood the television screen with many more images. 

Questions the purpose of the flow of fragmented images, which are distant and 

devoid of feelings and meaningless to Americans in their homes.

Considers the present development in which both the war and the image of war are 

now controlled by the military and its killing machines. Looks at the future 

high tech battlefield, which has no place for the war correspondent. There, the 

image of war will be created and manipulated by the military for its own 

purposes; and reported by the newly invented satellite-controlled war reporter. 

The US. war correspondent feels threatened, and is concerned that with the 

Pentagon in complete control, American television will never be able to raise 

the moral and political questions which confront the people about wars. The 

contributors, both practising and former journalists, discuss issues including 

the influence of censorship and propaganda by the military and government; and 

the visual imagery of war. Includes selected archival and newsreel footage of 

the Vietnam War and Iraq wars to illustrate the various aspects discussed.

Hungary. Both Rivers are now dead and estimates are that it will take five or 

six years to bring them back to life. The film brings to life the human impact 

of this disaster on a river somewhere, on the other side of the world.

Reporter, pt. 1, Shane McLeod; pt. 2, Trevor Bormann. 

Part one presents selected media footage of the activities of the Bougainville 

Rebel Army in its struggle for independence from Papua New Guinea. The dramatic 

reappearance of the BRA fugitive leader, Francis Ona, threatens to derail the 

coming election for a new Bougainville government, the result of years of 

careful and difficult negotiations. Australia, Papua New Guinea and the United 

Nations play a key role in the preparations for the coming elections. The rebels 

want foreigners out, including the Australian Federal Police, whose powers have 

been declared unconstitutional by the PNG Supreme Court. Profiles Francis Ona 

who has been in hiding for sixteen years, in the mountains; and has reappeared 

as self-proclaimed king of the newly proclaimed Royal Kingdom of Meerkamui. 

Interviews with BRA leader, Francis Ona, mainstream Bougainville leaders and PNG 

government representatives provide source information for the story. 

Part two keeps viewers up-to-date on what is happening off-shore of Dubia, which 

is putting it on the map. The planners are pitching the future of Dubai as a 

'Singapore with sand - the new business capital of the Middle East'. Both policy 

makers and developers are creating the world's largest man-made island, in the 

shape of the world, costing the developers some $10 billion. A development of 

breath-taking magnitude, it will extend Dubai's coastline by 120 Kilometres. The 

creation of this world is happening 24 hours, with an army of thousands of 

guests workers, mostly from the third world and with very few rights. Includes 

interviews with key figures of the development projects and aerial tours of 

Dubai and surroundings.

The country of Nepal in Southern Asia faces guerrilla warfare from its Maoism 

supporters who want to overthrow the government and install a communist 

republic. Four thousand people have died in the last 6 years and the rebels' 

campaign of terror continues with murder, kidnap and torture. Investigators say 

that villagers are forced to join the rebels or face death. The Mao supporters 

want to discard the old and start anew - start from the year zero. Haiti, 

situated in the Caribbean, is a poor nation plagued by economic collapse and

surrounded by chaos. Gangs and voodoo are the main features of life there. The 

authorities cannot enter Gonaive - Haiti's second largest city, as it has become 

a 'no go' area. Amiot Metayer, the leader of Haiti's largest gang 'The Cannibal 

Army,' was arrested but his supporters got him out of jail with the aid of a 

bulldozer. The local police will do nothing unless they receive orders from the 

authorities. For many Haitians, membership of the powerful gangs is the only way 

to gain safety and security.

poor management and corruption in the government. Indonesia's dirty war - 

reporter Jonathan Miller visits the province of Aceh in Indonesia. People have 

been fighting for independence here for the past 26 years. Miller meets six 

young rebels who had been beaten whilst in police custody, speaks to Lesley 

McCulloch, a British academic who has been detained by Indonesian authorities

Aceh has large natural gas reserves and other resources, but the ordinary people 

derive little of this wealth. Killing to belong - reporter Sandra Jordan goes to 

the city of San Salvador - the capital city of El Salvador in Central America. 

Here she meets the victims of gang violence. San Salvador has some 50,000 people 

who are members of gangs. Their territories are marked by poverty and drug 

trafficking. El Salvador is part of the supply route that moves drugs from 

Columbia to America. In the rural areas half of the population has moved away

bargain, and from the showman sellers, learns some of the tricks of the trade.

Editors, Kozo Okumura, David Chai. 

Presented by Danny Schechter. 

Features investigations into the complicity of the media in the Iraq War, having 

become the weapons of mass persuasion of the Bush administration. Danny 

Schechter's dissection of news from all possible sources suggests that the media 

have become partners in the war against Iraq. They are under government 

direction to film and record the conflict as it suits, being used as propaganda 

tools to mould American and world public opinion, in its favour. Presented also 

are cases of media muzzling of reporters, and intimidation by the government and 

its foot-soldiers from Fox News, creating a climate of fear and self-censorship 

on news broadcasting. The result is uncritical and subjective news reporting. 

Some research reports indicate that many stories are created or distorted; and, 

false stories make the link between Saddam and al-Qaeda, leading to widespread 

public misperceptions about Saddam and al-Qaeda, and his WMD. Whereas, little 

attention is paid to U.S. weapons which are causing the mass destruction of 

Iraqi civilians. Most Americans are unaware of the biased coverage of the 

conflict. Such findings raise concerns amongst some journalists about pervasive 

media irresponsibility and journalistic ethics. There are calls to fight back 

against deceptive news reporting, massive media concentration and jingoism 

posing as journalism.

'Witchcraze' is a film dramatisation of real events which had happened in 16th 

century Britain. All the characters portrayed existed, and are based on detailed 

contemporary accounts. In Scotland, between 1590 and 1597, over 1,000 people 

were denounced, tortured and burnt or hanged as witches. Witch hunt then was the 

persecution of mostly women and the poor by the Church and religious fanatics 

for their own political advantage. The accused were victims of mass hysteria, 

stirred up by religious upheaval and fuelled by famine and ignorance. Both state, 

including King James VI himself, and Church manipulated the search for witches 

for their own political gains.

This is the story of a boy whose penis was burnt off, in a routine circumcision 

procedure, which went wrong. The electrical equipment, used by the doctor, 

malfunctioned and Bruce's entire penis was burnt off. As a result, he was raised 

as a girl for the first 14 years of his life. This is also the story of the 

psychologist, Dr. John Money, who treated him. Dr. Money, a renowned sexologist, 

has a radical theory that babies were born gender neutral and that it was nature, 

not nurture, which dictated their gender identity. He used the child to research 

his theory that any boy could be raised as a girl. Unknown to the Reimers, Dr. 

Money was using their misfortune to pursue his own scientific research into 

gender identity. But, the experiment went terribly wrong; and the lives of twin 

boys, Brian and Bruce Reimer ended tragically. This is a cautionary tale of what 

can happen when science denies humanity in a bid to prove a theory. Includes 

reconstruction of selected scenes of the saga; and interviews with the parents 

for eye-witness accounts and comments.

Warning. 

Voice over, Rosa Ruiz, Guy Perrot. 

A documentary on Opus Dei, the controversial but influential Catholic 

organisation, examining its internal workings. Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer, 

who founded Opus Dei in 1928, was canonised by Pope John Paul II, in 2002; and 

is now a saint. At the time of his canonisation, there was no mention of his 

support for the Franco regime, as well as, various South American dictatorships. 

Opus Dei claims its mission to be the sanctification of the world, but it is 

perceived as wielding great political power. It hides behind an opaque system of 

anonymous societies and foundations. A very powerful group, with a sizeable 

membership, it is present in over 80 countries, 21 of which are European Union 

countries. This programme also looks at the way Opus Dei wields influence, using 

Chile as a case study. In Chile, membership of the society is divided into 

numeraries, assistant numeraries and supernumeraries, who are selected from 

expensive and exclusive OD run schools in Chile. Includes selected archival 

footage of related historical events in Chile in 1974; and also interviews with 

experts and the Chilean politicians and public for comments.

Pt. 1. Flames of faith -- Pt. 2. Intellect imprisoned -- Pt. 3. Guardians of the 

church. 

A three-part series of the working of the Roman Inquisition, established in 1542 

to counter the influence of the Reformation, and still operating today under the 

name of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Each part relates the 

story from the perspective of both the victims and those who judged them. The 

first part follows the rise of Giulio Antonio Santori to the feared position of 

Grand Inquisitor and the Inquisition's prosecution of the renowned philosopher 

Giordano Bruno, who was burned at the stake. Part 2 centres on the story of the 

great reformer and pope, Benedict XIV, who tried to carry the spirit of the 

Enlightenment over into the Inquisition and was defeated in his aim by the 

fanatic inquisitor Ganganelli, who later himself became pope, one of the most 

disastrous in history. Part 3 looks at the dramatic transition in the 1960s from

the Inquisition of old to a new, reformed institution, the Congregation for the 

Doctrine of the Faith. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, prefect of the Congregation, 

supports the Church's controversial positions in regard to communism and AIDS.

spiritual success, while others suspect a political agenda and are concerned 

about Hillsong's financial arrangements. For the programme, the Houstons have 

allowed the media into their church and private life, so that people can judge 

for themselves. Brian and Bobbie, their teenage children, and senior church 

officials tell their personal stories, according to their experience of life and 

work at Hillsong Church.

Islamic extremism. The five countries he covers are Turkey, Pakistan, Morocco,

opinion formers are seeking new interpretations of Islam, offering a more 

tolerant approach to other faiths and cultures, and seeking to disentangle Islam 

from political ideology. Sardar examines women's role in the vanguard of change; 

and shows how ordinary Muslims are caught between the reformers and the 

fundamentalists. He also examines whether changes are taking millions of Muslims 

into a future where they can co-exist peaceably with non-Islamic countries; and

Narration and English translation, Pete Bereza. 

Presents a study on the approaches of two men in trying to deal with religious 

extremists, in Yemen today. They are Hamoud al Hitar, one of the country's 

leading judges and Chairman of the Yemeni Organisation for Human Rights; and 

Rashad Mohammed Said, a former commander of Yemeni Mujahedeen in Kandahar and a 

former prisoner who was redeemed by Judge Hitar. Islam has had a profound 

influence on Yemen and its culture. Everything in Yemen revolves around the 

Koran and the legal system is based on it. No judgement may contradict the 

Koran. Traditional guardians and protectors of the laws are the Ulama, the 

council of legal and religious scholars. The most popular among them is Judge 

Hitar, one of those who want to impart their interpretation of Islam in Yemeni 

prisons. There, they conduct dialogues with religious extremists, trying to 

convince them of the peaceful and tolerant nature of Islam. Shows the effect of 

terrorist acts committed in Yemen on the country's economy and reputation, like 

the bombing of US destroyer USS Cole in 2000 and the French super tanker Limburg, 

two years later. The Yemenis have worked fervently to be seen fighting terrorism, 

with initial successes. Judge Hitar's approach to dealing with jailed Islamists 

prompted the German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder to pay him a visit, while on a 

rare official visit to Yemen.

Produced & directed (1-2) by Tim Lambert ; editor (1-2) James Gold, (3) Simon 

Greenwood. 

Host and consultant, Jared Diamond ; narrated (1-3) by Peter Coyote. 

This documentary is based on the Pulitzer Prize winning book of the same title 

by Jared Diamond. He has spent over 30 years, travelling the globe in search of 

answers to the question of why the world is so unequal. He has journeyed across 

five continents, from the jungles of P.N.G. to the snow-capped peaks of Peru. 

Professor Diamond has delved deep into the past and explored the very roots of 

power in the modern world, i.e., how guns, germs and steel have shaped the 

history of the world. His quest is to understand why one people, Europeans have 

conquered so much of the world. In his view, the roots of European triumphs 

stretched back thousands of years and rest on the power of geography. His quest 

is also to understand the great forces of human history, the lives of individual 

human beings who lie at the heart of this world. Finally, the questions which 

still remain are, why the world is divided between rich and poor; and how this 

inequality could perhaps be changed. To recreate the essence of the book, this 

film uses epic and stylish dramatic reconstructions, the latest in digital 

computer graphics, together with stunning and entertaining footage of the 

natural world. 

Episode one examines why people in different places have adapted so differently 

over time; what growing wheat and chickpeas had to do with power and dominance; 

how agriculture led to innovations and technology; and why they led Europeans to 

conquer the world. Episode two looks at how a small band of Conquistadors 

annihilated an Inca army of some 80,000 warriors. It explores the questions of 

whether the Spanish had steel and germs; and, if Europe promoted innovation and 

the spread of ideas, what made different parts of the continent develop so 

differently. Episode three deals with the questions of why the benefits of 

agriculture had not spread evenly around the world, stimulating innovation in 

every corner. It looks at why some countries are so rich, while others are so 

terrribly poor, even when surrounded by new technologies. Another question is 

whether geography can still have influence on the success or failure of people 

and nations, at a time when ideas can spread instantly over the Internet, or by 

mobile phone.

Pt. 1 -- pt. 2. 

Research, Jenny Berglund ; film editor (1) Russell Crockett, (2) Sean McKenzie. 

Presented by Robert Baer. 

Robert Baer, a former undercover agent for the U.S. C.I.A., presents his 

investigation into the cult of the suicide bomber. Traces it from its origins in 

Iran, nearly 30 years ago, linking Iran with the first of such suicide bombings 

in Beirut. Includes selected media footage of the Beirut incident, targetted at 

westerners. Baer follows the trail of the suicide bomber cult as it spreads into 

the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Using footage of actual suicide bombings and 

featuring interviews with families of suicide bombers, the relatives of victims 

and Israeli intelligence agents, Baer pieces together the story of the first 

Palestinian master bomber, who transformed suicide bombing from a weapon of war 

into a weapon of terror. He encounters some of the hundreds of captured suicide 

bombers and those who masterminded their attacks. In Tel Aviv, he interviews a 

survivor of the 2003 attack by the first British suicide bombers. 

Baer trails the cult as it leaves Israel and becomes a global phenomenon, ending 

up in the streets of London. In under thirty years, the suicide bomber cult has 

spread from the battle-field of Iran to the Tube stations of London. It has 

evolved from the targetted weapon of war to an indiscriminate weapon of terror. 

A constant feature of the popular cult is the hailing of its bombers as martyrs, 

an attempt to give some meaning to their bloody acts. In the latest mutation, 

suicide bombing has lost any attachment to a cause. The target is not an 

oppressor or an occupying army. There is no apparent meaning to what they have 

done. Death is their only aim. The most disturbing development is that suicide 

bombing has turned into a weapon of chaos.

SUICIDE BOMBERS [VIDEORECORDING] : A PSYCHOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION / PRODUCER & 

DIRECTOR, ALICKY SUSSMAN ; PRODUCER, LIBBY TURNER. 




'A BBC/Discovery Channel co-production.' 


Warning. 

Researcher, Catherine Wyler. 

Narrated by Barbara Flynn. 

This documentary examines a psychological investigation into the mind of the 

suicide bomber, by some scientists. They attempt to build a picture of someone's 

motivation, and state of mind before they die. The investigation uses research 

from around the world to explore the psychology of a fanatical mind. With a 

dramatic increase in suicide attacks, over the past 25 years, the campaign to 

eliminate this new threat intensifies. Such scientific study of the psychology 

of suicide bombers is challenging preconceptions about who these suicide bombers 

are. 

Results of early research, conducted by Ariel Merari from Tel Aviv University, 

showed that suicide bombers were not mad, neither were they psychopaths. Suicide 

bombers do not have to be evil or mad, they just need to be in the right 

context. The challenge is to understand what motivates the four men, responsible 

for the London bombing; and to stop it happening again. By piecing together 

information about the London bombers, and combining this with the understanding 

of suicide attacks from around the world, these scientists are beginning to 

understand why and how the events of July 7 happened. Includes selected media 

footage of the London bombing of 7th July, 2005, its aftermath, and 

investigations which followed.

Pakistan / producer, Graham Cooper. 


This three-part series features Peter Taylor's investigation into the new Al- 

Qaeda and the threat it poses the world. It is a challenge to the previous 

series, The power of nightmares, which presents the view that the threat from Al 

-Qaeda is a nightmare, dreamt up by politicians to hold the electorates in their 

thrall. Peter Taylor's present reports for the programme suggest a contrary 

view. One year in the making, the series was filmed in America, Europe, Africa 

and Asia. Includes interviews with, amongst others, Michael Scheuer, former 

head, CIA Bin Laden Unit, for comments and his expertise on the subject. 

Includes also reconstructions, as well as, selected newsreel and archival 

footage of events relating to the stories in the series. 

Part one examines how the threat from Al-Qaeda is facilitated by the internet. 

Al-Qaeda, once an organisation with a fixed structure, has become a loose 

network of groups, linked by the internet and dedicated to holy war. Through the 

internet, Al-Qaeda has become a global brand, using websites and email as its 

most powerful resource, enabling it to recruit, train, fundraise and mobilise. 

Includes interviews with Mohammed Al-Massari who runs a website from his home in 

London. Amongst the material from Iraq on his website, is video footage of three 

British soldiers being killed by a suicide bomber, the beheading of an American 

hostage and a manual with information on weaponry. Looks at the war being waged 

against cyberterrorism by British and American security agencies, including also 

an interview with an American magistrate, Shannen Rossmiller. By passing 

herself off as an Islamic radical on the internet, Rossmiller is responsible for 

the life sentencing of an American soldier prepared to pass information on to Al 

-Qaeda. 

Part two investigates the March 2004 Madrid train bombings, which killed 191 

people. One of the most devastating terrorist attacks ever carried out in Europe, 

it was the work of the new Al-Qaeda, locally recruited and acting independently 

of Osama bin Laden. Looks, also, at how the new Al-Qaeda recruits criminals, 

such as drug dealers, into its cells. These men are chosen because they know how 

to organise criminal activity and avoid the police. Many of them are 'takfiris', 

whose interpretation of Islam is so extreme that they consider any non-believer 

as infidels. They are Muslims who embrace a Western lifestyle, blending in 

easily, thus escaping detection by intelligence agencies. Two of the three key 

members of the Madrid cell - a drug dealer, an estate agent and a 'telephone 

man' - were takfiris. Features interviews with, for the first time, all the key 

figures hunting both the Madrid bombers, and those behind the Casablanca 

bombings. These two events were directly linked. 

Part three examines how Pakistani authorities, caught between American pressure 

and Islamic opposition, are involved in the struggle against the new Al-Qaeda. 

Pakistan has been at the centre of both the activities of Al-Qaeda and the 

struggle against it. Thousands of soldiers have been deployed in the remote 

mountain borders with Afghanistan, while the country's security services are 

trawling for intelligence in the cities. Pakistan has captured more Al-Qaeda 

suspects, including some of its most senior leaders, than any other country. The 

head of the country's Counter-Terrorism Centre, set up immediately after 

September 11, speaks for the first time about the interrogations of more than 

500 suspects, including the man he describes as the third most important Al- 

Qaeda figure. The Centre holds the world's largest Al-Qaeda database. Includes 

interviews with President Musharraf, who defends his country's record against 

allegations that the intelligence agencies helped establish the Taliban and have

een reluctant to apprehend Bin Laden. In this episode, Peter Taylor also 

searches for connections in the U.K., particularly in the light of the recent 

London Underground bombings. Includes also selected media footage of the 

aftermath of the 2005 London terrorist bombings.

This three-part documentary explores the twin politics of terror and fear, and 

the nature and origin of terrorism. It deals with how and why the fantasy was 

created. At the heart of the story are two groups: the American neo- 

conservatives and the radical Islamists. Both were idealists who were born out 

of the failure of the liberal dream to build a better world. These two groups 

have changed the world but not in the way either intended. Together they created 

today's nightmare vision of an organised terror network - a fantasy which, 

politicians then found, restored their power and authority in a disillusioned 

age. 

Part one looks at the origins of the neo-conservatives and the radical Islamists 

in the 1950s. The rise of the politics of fear began in 1949 with two men, whose 

radical ideas would inspire the attack of 9/11 and influence the neo- 

conservative movement, now dominating Washington. Both these men believed that 

modern liberal freedoms were eroding the bonds that held society together. The 

two movements they inspired set out, in their different ways, to rescue their 

societies from this decay. But in an age of growing disillusion with politics, 

the neo-conservatives turned to fear in order to pursue their vision. 

Part two assesses whether the threat from a hidden and organised terrorist 

network is an illusion. It examines how the radical Islamists and neo- 

conservatives, two groups with seemingly opposing ideologies, came together to 

defeat a common enemy, the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. The final part explains 

how the illusion was created and who benefits from it. In the wake of the shock 

and panic created by the devastating attack on the World Trade Centre on 11 

September, 2001, the neo-conservatives reconstructed the radical Islamists in 

the image of their last evil enemy: the Soviet Union.

2. China revs up / written by Chris Schmidt & Joel Olicker ; produced and 

directed by Chris Schmidt. 

Part 1, edited by Sarah Holt; part 2, edited by David Carnochan. 

Narrated by Oliver Platt. 

A two-part documentary discussing the imbalance in present global demographic 

trends, human ecology, economic development and environmental impacts. Includes 

selected archival footage, and comments from international experts on human 

geography, climatology and the environment. 

Part 1 examines the demographies of India, Japan and Sub-Saharan Africa; and 

compares them with others. Illustrates the world careening in two very different 

directions, with 'youthful' developing nations reeling from rapid growth, while 

many 'old' industrial ones grapple with declining numbers. Challenges the world 

to mobilise human skills, incomes and wealth to help shift the imbalance onto a 

path of shared prosperity, in a world of shared environmental sustainability. 

Part 2 showcases China as the fastest growing economy in world history, with a 

large middle class reaching out for the good life, with the motor-car on the 

list of 'must-haves'. There is concern that as China becomes increasingly 

affluent, it will over-take the U.S. to become the world's worst polluter, 

resulting in an environmental nightmare.

Editor, Karen O'Connor. 

Narrator, Ian Curtis. 

This documentary examines the implications of China's 'one child' policy, which 

was introduced as a measure to stabilise China's burgeoning population, twenty- 

five years ago. It has now resulted in over 500,000 abortions, and in many more 

girls being killed once they have been born. Examines the underlying issues, 

from the increase of professional women in China who have rejected their 

traditional role, to the overwhelming lack of women in the provinces. Looks also 

at the associated reasons for the three-fold jump in the crime rate of the 

country, in the last 20 years. The police are presently struggling with loutish 

behaviour, gangs and the disappearance (or abduction) of young women.

Editor, Karen O'Connor.

This documentary is about how children from around the world celebrate their 

coming of age. Shows the political, social and religious aspects which divide 

them, and the similarities which unite them. Features six very different young 

people who talk about the events which change their lives - from inside the 

Arctic Circle to the mountains of Uganda, in equatorial Africa; on a cruise 

liner in the Carribbean; deep in the Russian forests, outside Moscow; and in 

Kelantan, Malaysia's only sharia state. In China, Chen, a typical teenager, is 

being driven by her parents to study harder; and during the summer must undergo 

military training. Andrew is a 16-year-old boy from Russia. He spends much of 

his time hanging out in the streets with his friends; and is being initiated 

into an extreme right-wing group that preaches hatred of "non whites". While 

Monica, from the Dominican Republic, is celebrating her fifteenth birthday on a 

Caribbean cruise. Apak, a 12-year-old boy from the Baffin Island in Canada, sets 

out with his father for the first time, to test his hunting skills. Meanwhile, 

he also faces an array of temptations from the modern world. Kamoti, a 16-year- 

old boy from Uganda, travels to an ancient holy site to be circumcised. Eleven- 

year-old Nur lives in Kelantan, Malaysia. Nur is a strict Muslim and works very 

hard at her religious studies. But, she also has a mind of her own and wants to 

be a banker when she grows up. These six children, with their different cultural 

and religious backgrounds, provide an insight into adolescent experience on a 

global scale.

A documentary examining the way classic teenage rebellion combined with

culture, in London, New York and Los Angeles, not only had an immediate impact 

on the status-quo, but would continue to impact all future generations of youth 

culture. It redefined popular music and fashion, threatened the establishment, 

and legitimised an independent, do-it-yourself attitude. Chronicles also punk's 

unique identity of independence and how this continues to define youth culture 

today. It inspired an entire generation of filmmakers, poets, photographers, 

fashion designers and graphic artists. Includes selected archival footage of

"A Windfall Films production for Channel Four Television and the Discovery 

Channel". 

Produced and directed by Henry Chancellor. 

Narrator: Robert Lindsay. 

This two-part science documentary raises questions and explores the issues that 

come from developments in science. Program one presents men and women as two 

separate species with radically different evolutionary agendas. We reveal the 

vast range of physiological differences between the sexes, in brain, brawn and 

sexual desire. The film then takes the hormone-fuelled rocket journey to puberty 

to show that many of the differences between the sexes are pre-programmed. 

Throughout the programme behavioural experiments illustrate how the gap between 

the sexes widens from birth to puberty. Program two starts with a bang - we 

explore how men and women approach sex... emotionally, bio-mechanically and 

practically. We ask why the sexes smell different, why women can{u0315}t hold 

their drink and why men can{u0315}t ask for directions when they are lost. Does 

the almighty testosterone really make men the stronger sex? We peek into the 

brain of a middle-aged woman to discover what triggers menopause. Finally, we go 

out on a date with a pack of silver-haired elderly ladies in Florida to discover 

who really wins the battle of the sexes.

During the past ten years there has been a considerable amount of research into 

what makes the sexes different. Clinically measurable differences have now been 

established in the way men and women think, behave, love, learn, reason and 

work. This three-part series explores how the differences between male and 

female brains result in talents being divided up between the sexes; and how 

brain sex differences affect all our personal relationships.

last single woman is about to marry. Through detailed flashbacks, the three 

women share the critical times in their lives, and their satisfaction (and

DIVORCE IRANIAN STYLE [VIDEORECORDING] : A FILM / BY KIM LONGINOTTO AND ZIBA MIR 

-HOSSEINI. 




'Divorce Iranian style' is a segment of the ABC television programme, Inside 

story. 

Copyright notice: Commonwealth of Australia. Copyright Regulations. 1969.

Warning. 

Editing, Barrie Vince. 

Narration: Joanna Rosenthall. 

'Divorce Iranian style' is a film about Iranian family law, which is the Islamic 

law of the Shia school. Filmed in one of the Sharia courts, the documentary 

includes selected footage of three different divorce cases. Procedures in the 

Sharia courts are very different from those of the Family Court in Australia. In 

the selected sessions shown, a kindly judge presided over court proceedings, 

assisted by a female secretary. The litigants appeared in person, accompanied by 

relatives and sometimes children, but unrepresented by lawyers. Procedures 

seemed very informal. The litigants presented their cases before the judge, and 

even argued vehemently with spouses before the court. There was no formal 

calling of evidence from witnesses. The court was usually very reluctant to 

grant a divorce, recommending reconciliation instead, as seen here. Includes 

footage of a family arbitration, in which uncles on both sides came with the 

parties to try to settle a dispute about entitlements. In the cases presented, 

issues dealt with includes, the wife's entitlement to her marriage gift (mahr) 

when seeking a divorce from her husband. Evidently, family law problems, such as, 

divorce, custody and access of children, and property settlement are very 

similar in Iran and Australia. But, the court procedures, and some of the 

outcomes would be very different from what would be expected in Australia.

Andrew Olle. 

Andrew Olle hosts a studio discussion on what is happening to feminism in 

Australia in the 1990's. The debate marks the 10th anniversary of the Sex 

Discrimination Act which legislated in areas of equal opportunity, childcare and 

sexual harrassment. However, social, economic and legal forms of inequality 

still have to be addressed. Issues of rape and domestic violence point to 

permanent barriers which still exist between the sexes.

HULA GIRLS [VIDEORECORDING] : IMAGINING PARADISE / WRITER/DIRECTOR, TREVOR 

GRAHAM ; PRODUCER, ANDREW OGILVIE. 




Narrator, Kerry Armstrong. 

This documentary is a visual exploration of the sexual mythology that has for 

centuries defined our notions of the Pacific Island woman. The hula girl is one 

of the most potent and sexually alluring images in popular culture today and has 

been for centuries. Award-winning documentary maker Trevor Graham asks why this 

popular rendering has maintained such a grip on the Western imagination as he 

looks at 18th century illustrations, Gauguin's famous island paintings as well 

as footage from both celebrated and less well-known Hollywood films. This 

documentary takes as its starting point the records of the first Western 

encounters with the beautiful Polynesian women of the Pacific. French explorer 

Bougainville relates in his journal his meeting with the Polynesian women who 

shed their clothes in welcome and when he returns to Paris he publishes an 

account that is widely-read and causes a sensation. So the Western image of 

Polynesian women and the island paradise is born into the popular imagination. 

Captain Bligh's inflammatory account of the mutiny on the Bounty also lays the 

blame for the mutiny at the feet, (or more precisely the hips) of Polynesian 

women and the myth of paradise and the seductive hula girls bedevilling men is 

perpetuated.

This three-part documentary is about how the myth of race took hold and retained 

its power. It tells how what we assume to be normal, commonsense, even 

scientific, is actually shaped by human history, social institutions, and 

cultural beliefs. 

Episode one explores how recent scientific discoveries have toppled the concept 

of biological race. Includes footage of students who sequence and compare their 

own DNA, looking for a "race marker." It also looks at the history of racism in 

the U.S., and the advent of stereotype. Episode two questions the belief that 

race has always been with us. It traces the race concept to the European 

conquest of the Americas. Episode three focuses on how the social and political 

institutions shape and create race.

This is a forum based on the report, of the same title, which was commissioned 

by SBS in 2005, to explore the attitudes and practices of younger Australians, 

from culturally diverse backgrounds. The report portrays personal experiences, 

community ties and media engagement through the eyes of focus groups, aged 

between 16 to 40-years, from representative cross-sections of the community, in 

urban and rural Australia. The forum serves as a platform to discuss the 

findings presented in the report. The background to the report was a study 

conducted in October, 2005, shortly before the Cronulla violence, which sparked 

the debate about the meaning of 'multiculturalism', and, alleged failures within 

the process. The authors of the research report present the summary of their 

findings and views on the subject; followed by discussions with studio audience 

participation.

RIOT AND REVENGE [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCER, MORAG RAMSAY. 





Warning. 

Camera, Murray Gill ; editor, Jessica Miller ; researchers, Jo Puccini, Sandra 

Harvey. 

Reporter, Liz Jackson. 

This report presents the inside story of Cronulla and the aftermath, as told by 

those who were there. To date, the steps taken include, prosecution of the 

offenders, toughening the laws, and giving the N.S.W. police extra powers. But, 

senior police assert that these measures will not address the underlying issues 

which bred the ugly violence seen. There are many social reasons beyond the 

N.S.W. police reinforcement issues - deep social issues and a new phenomenon of 

racial violence in Australia, which poured out on to the beach on that day. 

Another view is that, it is useless playing things down, because there are real 

issues which should be addressed, otherwise the situation will worsen. This 

programme looks for answers, not from social commentators, but from the 

participants, i.e., the young Anglos who joined the seething mob at Cronulla on 

11 December, 2005, the Middle Eastern men who took part in revenge attacks, and 

the police who were stuck in the middle. Includes selected media footage of the 

riot scenes, and interviews with the police and youths from both sides of the 

divide.

Participants, Josie Atkinson ... [et al.]. 

This programme examines why the eligible Aboriginal single man is scarce, to the 

point of being endangered. Looks also at how the scarcity is making it difficult 

for Aboriginal women to find a suitable Aboriginal partner. The main problem is 

the low population rate of indigenous Australians; and eligible women seem to 

outnumber eligible men. Another difficulty is that a likely candidate could be 

related; and, of those who are not relations, many are either gay or already 

married. Then there are those with major relational baggage and others with 

children already. So lament the Aboriginal women who participate in this film.

"The secret and surprising story of homosexuality in the British armed forces : 

During World War II, more than a quarter of a million of the 6 million men 

drafted into the armed services were gay, a fact conveniently overlooked as the 

need for recruits was so great. In the present day, when gays are banned in the 

British military, little has changed in terms of prejudice, discrimination and 

the pressure on gay men and women to live double lives." -- SBS program guide,

MARGARET MEAD AND SAMOA [VIDEORECORDING]. 

Producer, director, Frank Heimans. 

Margaret Throsby. 

Margaret Mead was one of the best-known women in American history. The book that 

made her famous was Coming of Age in Samoa which she wrote at the age of 23. In 

it she announced her discovery of a Polynesian culture free of the stresses of 

adolescence: a place of sexual promiscuity, free love and harmony. In 1940, 

Derek Freeman, another 23 year old anthropology student, arrived in Samoa. He 

expected to find the island paradise whose description had so captivated him. 

But instead, he encountered a society obsessed by rank, and where aggression 

rape and conflict was commonplace. After collecting evidence for thirty years, 

he published his refutation of Mead's book, an academic bombshell. The result 

has been one of the greatest controversies in the history of anthropology.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: editor, Guy Bowden ; Canadian Broadcasting 

Corporation: editor, Marlo Miazga ; researcher, Maggie Gilmore. 

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: narrator, Ticky Fullerton. 

A documentary on how in the American heartland of consumerism, advertisers are 

fighting for the most important market of all - children. Kids under-12 are now 

at the centre of the maelstrom. There is a dramatic shift in family dynamics, 

with power devolving from parent to child. Big business wants children's 

attention, their money and their powers of persuasion. Anti-marketers fight to 

protect them. Parents are mostly at a loss for what to do. Provides the 

historical background to the hype of child consumerism, as seen today. Traces it 

back to the beginning of the 20th century, when a new romantic idea of childhood 

emerged. By the late 1960s and early 1970s, a more inclusive family emerged; and 

parents were exploring a different way of parenting. Kids were now becoming 

influential. Business caught on, seizing the opportunity to target them in their 

advertising. By the 1990s, there was an explosion of kids consumerism. Marketers 

have discovered the baby. Most major corporations now adopt the philosophy of, 

'hook them young, and you will have them for life' - in the cradle to grave 

brand loyalty. Includes selected archival footage, and interviews with experts 

for comments.

A documentary examining the age-old myth of creating life out of inanimate

pornography and erotica. The film also takes the viewer into the strange and

Two documentary filmmakers chronicle their time in Sonagchi, Calcutta, and the 

relationships they developed with children of prostitutes, who work the city's 

notorious red light district. Tells about the amazing transformation of a 

handful of these children, whose lives were forever changed by photography and 

the woman who brought it to them. While documenting the experiences of 

prostitutes in Calcutta's red-light district, photojournalist Zana Briski 

befriended many of their children and decided to provide them with a chance to 

record images from their own lives. Supplied with cameras by Briski, the 

children present a portrait of their harsh world that is both unique and 

insightful. The result of this is a remarkable and moving film that features the 

seven children as both subject and collaborator, as they discover their artistic 

ability. The sale and publication of the children's photographs, in New York and 

Calcutta, help to raise funds to put some of the children into high schools and 

boarding schools, providing the opportunity for the girls whose fate, without 

formal education, would most likely be prostitution.

A documentary about two first-generation migrant parents' struggle to accept

with his traditional, Macedonian family, after 15 years' estrangement. His 

father, Alexo, who is suffering from terminal lung cancer, has decided to 

forgive Ted, but not accept his lifestyle. Alexo is torn between his love for 

his son and his old fashioned principles; and refuses to meet his son's long- 

term partner, Anthony. Meanwhile, Ted works at rebuilding his relationship with 

his father; and both he and Anthony are forgiving and determined to move 

forward. Ted feels that as he lives in a country where he is free to express his 

sexuality, he cannot pretend to be something else. If he had been born and grown 

up in Macedonia, he would now be married with a family, according to Macedonian 

cultural expectations, but against his natural instincts.

This three-part documentary presents cases of marriage break-ups; conflict 

leading to relationship break down; and rebuilding life after divorce. Includes 

re-enactments of selected scenes; and selected footage of individuals' going 

through the court process, with their anonymity protected. 

In episode 1, 'Breaking up' is typified by disagreements, suspicions, guilt, 

doubt, shock, loneliness. It is usually difficult, especially if children are 

involved. Explores the reasons why people marry, their needs and expectations, 

and what goes wrong with the dream. Presents break-up stories of five men and 

women, and the consequences on their family lives.

People sometimes resort to the legal system to reach a compromise. Takes viewers 

inside mediation offices and the law courts, where angry claims and counter- 

claims create some heart-rending situations. Elderly pensioners argue bitterly 

over money. One mother seeks to publish a photo of her baby who has been missing

Opened less than four yeas ago, the Woomera Detention Centre houses more than 

1400 detainees even though it was built to accommodate only 400. It became 

notorious for riots, protests and breakouts by desperate detainees. There were 

also claims that mental illness and self-harm were rife. Reporter Debbie

her interviews with former employees of the Centre. This report graphically

Recorded off-air from SBS-TV program Cutting edge, on March 4th, 2003. 

Director, Mona Friis Bertheussen ; producer, Anders Saether. 

The Tampa drama was one of the major news stories in 2001. The Norwegian ship MS 

tampa saved 438 Afghan refugees from a sinking vessel off the coast of 

Australia. The drama caused a diplomatic conflict between Norway and Australia 

and put the international spotlight on the chaotic legal situation for refugess 

at sea. The hero of the story is Captain Arne Rinnan, whose actions at sea 

present a rare example of humanitarian behavior. The victims are the 438 

refugees, who share their reasons for fleeing Afghanistan, and the fear they 

felt when they realized their ship was sinking. Why would no government, 

Australian, Norwegian or otherwise, accept these refugees? The MS Tampa is the 

story not only of the refugees and their hero, Captain Rinnan, but of the 

broader story of international politics and chaotic laws which strips legal 

rights from refugees at sea.

reported reasons - fear of Saddam Hussein{u0315}s weapons of mass destruction or 

desire to insure and protect America{u0315}s access to oil - are only masking 

the real reason for the war. Through interviews with well-placed sources in and

Editing, Chantal le Baron ; researcher, Edwige Lafor{u00EA}t. 

Narrator, Fraser Macnaught. 

Documents a 40-year relationship between Saddam Hussein and the U.S., through 

accounts given by those who were witness to and participants in those years of 

violence. It is about a man and a superpower who used each other, in a marriage 

of convenience between strange bed-fellows. To the U.S., Saddam Hussein was a 

relatively reliable Arab tyrant, with whom they could deal. The U.S. used 

Saddam's mistakes and benefitted from them. From his first steps towards power 

and his final fall in the Iraq War of 2003, Saddam Hussein saw nine U.S. 

presidents come and go. The U.S. sought to be the unrivalled guardian of the 

Middle East, while Saddam saw himself as the master of the Arabs. Therefore, 

Saddam and the U.S. were a necessary evil for each other, in a tragic 

misalliance. The U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, and Saddam's subsequent fall 

marked the end of a pernicious liaison of 40 years. Saddam Hussein who wanted to 

rule over an empire is now locked up, never to see freedom again. While for the 

U.S., they are now prisoners of an adventure for which they see no real end. 

Includes selected archival footage of Saddam's beginnings, filmed to immortalise 

his exploits, at 20 years of age, in 1959. Includes also images from the film,

THE LIMITS OF GENEROSITY [VIDEORECORDING]. 



Presenter, Jenny Brockie ; reporter, Lisa Upton. 

Australia and East Timor are squaring off for their first serious disagreement, 

government-to- government. Over the next 30 years Australia stands to earn 

billions of dollars in royalties from oil and gas reserves in the Timor Sea. 

East Timor is getting some of the royalties, but believes it should be getting 

more. Tonight, we look at a relationship where the warmth of friendship and 

benevolence is being replaced by a tussle for cold, hard cash.

Editor, Mark Falahey, Jason Diepeveau. 

Presenter/host, Jenny Brockie. 

'Neighbours' is a special edition of Insight from Metro TV, in Jakarta. Its 

purpose is giving Australians an insight into Indonesian opinions of Australia. 

Topics raised include Australia's foreign policies, Muslim extremism and the 

trials of young Australians on drug charges in Bali. A poll had shown nearly a 

third of Australians view Indonesia as a threat, a country where 90% of the 

population is Muslim. This programme has been planned to coincide with the 

anniversary of the terrorist attack in Bali in October 2002. Tragically, another 

massacre in Bali has just occurred, over the weekend. But, what the studio 

guests have to say is still very relevant. 

The forum guests include Indonesian community leaders, politicians, diplomats 

and journalists, many of whom have visited Australia. Amongst them are Yenny 

Wahid, the daughter of the former Indonesian president - she once worked as a 

journalist for the 'Sydney Morning Herald'; Desi Anwar, the senior newsreader 

for Metro TV where this program was recorded; Wimar Witoelar, a former 

presidential advisor and a well-known commentator; and Angelina Sondakh, a 

former Miss Indonesia and a Member of Parliament.

[VANUATU] [VIDEORECORDING] : [SPIES OF THE PACIFIC]. 



Title from transcript. 

Presenter, Jana Wendt ; reporter, Mark Davis. 

A rare insight into the politics of Australia's Pacific neighbour Vanuatu, and 

disturbing allegations about Australia's role in that country. In September 2002, 

Vanuatu's army, the VMF, sparked a constitutional crisis when it tried to arrest 

the senior ranks of the police force for mutiny. It was a dangerous standoff 

since both sides were heavily armed. The army's action was in turn a response to 

the arrest by police, of government officials, some weeks before. In the shadows 

of this turmoil Australian Federal Police advisers in the country, now stand 

accused of spying and undue meddling in the internal political process. 

Australia is the superpower in this region, and many Pacific 

nations resent what they see as Australia's efforts to control their political 

agenda. Mark Davis gained extraordinary access to witness Vanuatu's political 

process from the inside, during a week of crisis.

Produced and directed by Tia Lessin ; narrator, Susan Sarandon. 

Lured by false promises and driven by desperation, thousands of Chinese and 

Filipina women pay high fees to work in garment factories on the pacific island

clothing they sew, bearing the "Made in the USA" label, is shipped duty and 

quota-free to the U.S for sale by The GAP, J. Crew, Polo and other retailers.

of the global sweatshop-where 14 hour shifts, payless paydays and lock-downs are 

routine. BEHIND THE LABELS takes the story from the factory floor to the streets, 

where protesters worldwide wage an ongoing battle against globalization. Behind

Mark Davis finds out the origins of the Australian iconic image, the swagman. He 

joins the modern day swagmen of Germany who still "go on the waltz" across 

Europe with nothing but their swag, continuing a 600 year old German tradition. 

The journey (waltz) is begins with no money and a pledge not to return home for 

a certain length of time, serving out an apprenticeship in specific crafts such

as carpentry. Associations or guilds were formed as a kind of trade union for 

travelling workers. The fame of the wandergesellen was at its peak in Europe 

during the 1890s depression in Australia where workers hit the roads in search 

of jobs.

for this, and the evolutionary responses of plants to fires. Fires are now 

necessary for regeneration of most native plants. Without regular fires, forests 

thicken and age and diminish in quality. Fire management techniques, including

"Produced with assistance of SBS Independent"--Closing frames. 

South America's biggest oilfields have been discovered in the headwaters of the 

Amazon in Ecuador, with a devastating impact on the lives of the local 

indigenous people and the environment. The Worani were "invisible people" until 

oil was discovered on their land, since when more than half their population has 

been wiped out. The Tageri people are the last "invisible tribe" and they do not 

want to happen to them what has happened to the Worani. This is the story of 

Australian activist, Doug Ferguson's, tireless efforts as a "barefoot diplomat" 

during the ten years he has lived in a rainforest with the Amazon Indians.

many of Chico's friends and colleagues are in power, but they are unable to 

restrain the process of development and deforestation. A recent report in the

Editor, Jessica Miller. 


'City limits' is a stark reminder of Australia's water crisis. Tough decisions 

have to be made, other options are unavailable. It is about the type of legacy 

to leave the future generations. If it does not rain and nothing is done, there 

is every prospect of the southern cities running dry, by September 2006. The 

projected population blowouts to 30 million, in the next 50 years, will place 

more pressure on water supply. According to water experts and critics, Sydney is 

leading the race to run out of water first. Sydney Water has a crisis approach, 

with short term fixes. Critics are speaking out until someone takes notice. 

Elsewhere in Australia, there are schemes implemented to save water and develop 

water resources. A desalination project is well underway in W.A. There is 

recycling of sewage water, in Adelaide and Melbourne to take pressure off tap 

water; and capturing and cleaning storm water by an Adelaide local council. One 

view is that doubling the price of drinking water might stop waste and encourage 

recycling.

Narrator, Nina Wadla. 

For generations, families in the Indian village of Jalsindhi have lived off 

their land. Now, thanks to the controversial Narmada Dam, they face destitution. 

When the reservoir starts filling, their homes will be submerged. Over 250,000 

people will be displaced, but the villagers are determined to fight to protect 

their way of life. This program follows these people in their desperate struggle 

to save their homes. Filmed over a five-year period, it reveals the human cost 

of modernization. Hundreds of villages have already been submerged to make way 

for the dam. The government promised that all those displaced would receive land 

in compensation, but people who have already been rehoused tell a different 

story.

Narrator, Peter O'Brien ; editor, James Manche. 

In the early 1970s Lake Pedder, an alpine lake isolated in the heart of the 

wilderness of south-west Tasmania, was flooded to make way for a massive hydro- 

electric scheme. The campaign to save the lake became the first national 

environmental battle in Australia's history. In the fight to save Lake Pedder 

the world's first green party was born. By the time the Franklin River was under 

threat the environmental lobby in Tasmania was highly skilled and organised as a 

result of the Lake Pedder experience and subsequently was able to campaign 

successfully for the Franklin River to be saved.

FASCISM AND FOOTBALL [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCED AND DIRECTED BY S{U00E9}AN 

HUGHES. 




Editor, Alex Archer. 

Narrator, Veronica Hyks. 

This documentary examines the dangerous relationships between fascism and

football. Mussolini, Hitler and Franco, respectively, exploited the popularity 

of the football and its supporters, by using it as a propaganda tool to shape 

public opinion, and gain the nation's support for their fascist regimes. Behind 

the image of a game, football, is a history of coercion, corruption and 

manipulation by these powerful fascist leaders, to help them consolidate their 

control over their nations. But, football became also the first symbol to 

express resistance to politics, as happened in Nazi Germany. It draws on 

archival footage and current interviews with historians, journalists and former 

football players.

This film investigates, firstly, into how drugs companies resort to expediency 

to get their drugs approved quickly, side-stepping the Nuremberg codified rules 

on human experimentations in medicine. Secondly, into how they use their 

monopoly on supply to get the prices they want, earning billions. Footage of two 

cases of unethical drugs testing on humans; and two cases of excessive pricing. 

Case one involves Pfizer Inc.'s testing of a new meningitis drug on children in 

1996, in Kano, Nigeria, far away from scrutiny. Case two involves Dr. Nancy 

Olivieri and Apotex Inc. in their international trials with thalassemia major 

patients, beginning in Toronto. Apotex curtails the study, determined to market 

the new drug, L1, quickly; and fires trial chairperson, Dr. Olivieri, gagging 

and intimidating her. In Korea, the overpricing of the leukemia drug, Glivec, by 

Novartis places it beyond the reach of patients. While in Central America, the 

excessive pricing of anti-retroviral medicines, by Pfizer, is forcing people to 

illegally smuggle vastly cheaper generic drugs to try to save lives. Indian 

drugs companies, like Cipla, make generic versions of drugs, selling them at a 

fraction of the price charged by pharmaceutical giants. But, once the new W.T.O 

agreement comes into effect, in 2006, India must provide full patent protection, 

thereby threatening a generic drugs industry which supplies much of the world's 

cheap drugs. With real competition gone, the powerful pharmaceutical industries 

will be able to charge anything. The world could end up with a few big 'pharmas', 

with the undesirable monolithic overuse of power to push pills, and life or 

death. Interviews with international experts who analyse and appraise the cases 

presented.

Narrator, Hugh Quarshie. 

Since the late 1990s, the Botswana government has been relocating

Bushmen to the resettlement camp of New Xade, but they are reluctant to go. In 

an attempt to force the remaining Bushmen to leave, the 

government turned off the water early in 2002. According to the lobby group 

Survival International, the government wants to develop the area for mining. An 

Anglo-American mining corporation holds the mining rights to major deposits of 

gold and diamonds. James Smith says that in his three-month stay he found no 

evidence to support Survival's claim that mining is behind the relocation move. 

But there is no doubt that the relocation is going on. The Bushmen fear for the 

survival of their culture, one of the oldest in Africa.

INSIDE THE CIRCLE [VIDEORECORDING] / ASSOCIATE PRODUCER, MICHAEL DOYLE ; 

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, BRUCE BELSHAM. 





Warning. 

Editor, Jessica Miller ; researchers, Anne Connolly, Linda Carroll, Sandra 

Harvey. 


Documents the proceedings of an Aboriginal 'circle court', in New South Wales. 

This is a fully fledged court with a magistrate, a defence lawyer, a police 

prosecutor, the accused and his victim. The sentence will be decided by four 

elders from his own community. This circle sentencing is an innovative process 

aimed at preventing crime and reducing the scandalous over-representation of 

indigenous people in the courts and in jails. In NSW, indigenous people 

represent just two per cent of the general population but 20 per cent of adult 

male prison inmates, and even higher percentages of female and juvenile inmates, 

are Aboriginal. In a normal court, a defendant who pleads guilty need not say a 

word. He or she might not comprehend what is going on. The arguments and the 

pleadings are the business of mostly white lawyers and white magistrates. Not so 

with circle sentencing. 

Includes media footage of the proceedings, during which the elders first shamed 

and accused Robert Ardler, then heard him try to explain himself, listened to 

his victim, and finally weighed up his sentence. Circle sentencing has been 

running for two years in Dubbo, N.S.W., where re-offending rates for circle 

"graduates" are way below the average. Other NSW centres are introducing circle 

sentencing, too. Variations exist in some other states, though none which 

devolves so much responsibility to Aboriginal elders. This could be the circuit- 

breaker, providing a more effective deterrent to Aboriginal offenders than 

prison, and eventually cuts the rates of indigenous imprisonment.

Warning. 

Editor, Bob Schroeder ; researchers, Pam Clasper, Megan Williams. 

Reporter, Terrence McKenna. 

Documents the story of how 'Saddam Hussein pulled it off', during the First Gulf 

War in 1991, derailing the U.N. Oil-for-Food Program. He was able to steal 

billions while under the watchful eye of the U.N. The programme which was 

supposed to demonstrate its effectiveness became its greatest embarrassment. The 

case is now referred to as the largest bribery and corruption scandal in 

history. From 1997 through early 2003, the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program 

allowed Iraq to export oil in exchange for humanitarian supplies. Looks into the 

extent to which this programme was corrupted by Iraq's attempts to deliberately 

set the price of its oil below market prices in an effort to solicit bribes, 

both in the form of direct cash bribes and in the form of political favours, 

from the buyers of the underpriced oil. Investigates the extent to which the 

fifteen members of the U.N. council, who controlled the programme, could be 

implicated in the scandal. Spotlight on Kofi Annan who was then intimately 

involved with the programme, and was instrumental in the negotiations with 

Saddam, to bring about the plan. Includes interviews with Boutros Boutros-Ghali, 

then U.N. Secretary-General, who supervised the whole enterprise; with comments 

and his story of the programme. Includes selected archival and newsreel footage 

of the 1991 Gulf War and U.N. sessions dealing with the case.

THE PRESIDENT VERSUS DAVID HICKS [VIDEORECORDING] / DIRECTED BY CURTIS LEVY AND

Narrator, Curtis Levy. 

In January 2002 David Hicks was picked up in Afghanistan by the Northern 

Alliance and handed over to the US military. He was taken to the American Naval 

Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for interrogation and has been held there in a 

small cage ever since. President Bush has labelled him an "unlawful combatant". 

This means that he is allowed none of the rights of ordinary prisoners-of-war. 

No charges have been laid against him and only recently has he been given access 

to a lawyer. This program follows the journey made by Terry Hicks, David's 

father, as he traces his son's footsteps in an attempt to understand what has

Researcher, Lucy Evans. 


This documentay is a sequel to Jean-Xavier de Lestrade's eight-part series, The 

Staircase. Reports on what has happened to the film's protagonist, author 

Michael Peterson, since he was found guilty of murder. In an interview from 

prison, Peterson speaks on camera for the first time since his trial. Defending 

attorney, David Rudolf and prosecutor, Jim Hardin share their thoughts on the 

trial, as well as, on the director Jean-Xavier de Lestrade. Includes selected 

camera footage of the jurors' press conference, revealing how the jurors reached 

their verdict. Includes also interviews with Lestrade, with comments on the case, 

which to him resembled drama rather than documentary, with sensational media 

coverage impacting on the judicial process, especially the jurors' ability to 

decide objectively. The whole saga poses serious questions about the U.S. legal 

system. To Lestrade, the case showed up the corruption, stupidity and narrow- 

mindedness of the District Attorney and his team, who prosecuted Peterson 

because of his bisexuality, not because they had strong evidence that he killed 

his wife.

This film tells the story of how a small team of people fought, for over a 

decade, to quash the murder conviction of Andrew Mallard. Finally, in February 

2006, he was set free. Includes re-enactment of police video interview, 

focussing on the recorded 20 minute segment, which W.A. police used to convict 

Mallard, on grounds of murder confession. He was accordingly tried, with the 

jury finding him guilty of murder, and was sentenced to thirty years 

imprisonment. To the family of the murdered woman and residents of this W.A. 

city, it seemed that justice had been done. But, for Andrew Mallard's family and 

supporters, it marked the beginning of a decade-long struggle to clear his name. 

The case landed up in the Australian High Court in Canberra, sending shock waves 

through Western Australia's justice system. Includes selected media coverage of 

the murder case in 1994, and footage of the retrial in Canberra, 6th September 

2005. Includes also interviews with Andrew Mallard's family, supporters,

Every day in Australian courts a person charged with one crime will plead guilty 

to a less serious offence. It's called 'plea bargaining' and the reward for 

pleading guilty is a shorter sentence. To the legal profession it's a fair 

system that prevents courts from being clogged with unnecessary trials, but this

This documentary examines the verdict of the O.J. Simpson trial, pronounced on 

3rd October 1995. On that day, in the U.S., millions stopped what they were 

doing to witness the O.J. Simpson verdict on television. The case began as a 

double homicide near Santa Monica, California and became a media mega-story, 

known as the 'trial of the century'. It transfixed the nation and dominated the 

public imagination. Includes extensive interviews with the defence, prosecution 

and journalists to present their comments and views. Looks at how every aspect 

of the trial was recorded, discussed and analysed on television. The media 

frenzy spread from the National Enquirer to the New York Times; from cable 

networks, such as CNN to the ABC's Nightline. The documentary looks at how the 

case has had a lasting impact on American media and polarised public opinion 

polls along racial lines. It memorialises the heartache, confusion and tension 

released by the O.J. verdict and its impact. Includes also selected media 

coverage of the case, including the murder scene, O.J. Simpson's arrest, the 

court-room scenes, and the American public reactions.

Off-air recording of the SBS-TV program broadcast 15/7/04. Copied under Part 5A



Enter the normally closed world of the jury room to discover how juries really 

work. In Secrets of the jury room, two juries decide the fate of the accused in 

a murder case. The case is fictional, but highly realistic. On trial is a young 

gay Lebanese man who is accused of killing his terminally ill lover. A retired 

Supreme Court judge presides over real barristers, expert witnesses and court 

personnel. However, unlike real-life courts, we are able to observe the jurors 

reaching their decisions. Two juries, each of twelve people of various ages and 

backgrounds, take part in this unique experiment. As we watch them grapple with 

both the evidence and the moral issues, we see how personalities and prejudices 

can affect the process of the law. The result is a thought-provoking insight 

into the inner working of the jury system.

Directors, Nicolaas Hofmeyr, Gabriel Mondlane (Miner's tale), Brian Tilley (It's 

my life), Jane Thandi Lipman (Patience and Pinkie). 

A miner's tale - Joaquim is a migrant laborer with a junior wife in urban South 

Africa and a senior wife and family in rural Mozambique. He is torn between his 

responsibilities for both. He is also torn between his understanding of his HIV 

infection when visiting his home village after being absent for four years and 

what traditional society expects of him. Joaquim must make a choice since the 

elders are adamant that it is his traditional duty to father more children with 

his wife, but Joachim does not want to infect her. It's my life - Zackie Achmat 

is an AIDS activist who refuses to take anti-retrovirals until they are 

available in public hospitals and clinics. He leads the court battle against the 

multi-national drug companies and takes on the South African government for it's 

confusing policies around HIV/AIDS. As a leader in the campaign for affordable 

treatment, Zackie's provocative position is not one all his friends and 

colleagues support. Patience and Pinkie - In South Africa, more than 25 per cent 

of pregnant women are HIV-positive. The program follows two young pregnant women 

from when they are first told they are pregnant, till their babies are born. At 

present the Government is denying public access to HIV preventative drugs. Anti

-retroviral drugs like Nevirapine are only available through pilot progjects and 

drug trials to 10% of mothers, to prevent transmission of HIV.

Heavy traffic - shot in Soweto,this film shows the lives of two very different 

funeral parlor operators and the people who work for them. We meet Caps Pooney, 

who has been in the business for 50 years, and Lulu Somthumsi-Mabusela, the boss 

of one of many smaller operations which have proliferated in the wake of the 

AIDS pandemic. Imiti Ikula - Memory is one of the 75,000 street kids in Lusaka, 

most of them orphans due to the AIDS epidemic. She is streetwise and ready to 

fight, and yet she has her softer, more vulnerable side. Follows her as she 

finds a way to watch the solar eclipse, gets her hair braided, cooks, and sings 

and talks with her friends. Fightinh spirit - Zimbabwean middle-weight boxing 

champion, Gilbert Josamu, discovered he was HIV positive at the height of his 

career. Living in a society where HIV/AIDS is taboo, Josamu forged his medical 

certificate and continued to fight. A few months before he died, he confessed to 

having lived with AIDS for 14 years. This confession was followed by public 

outrage. He then formed a support group and became a spokesman for the fight 

against HIV/AIDS.

Orlando Mesquita (The ball), Ouida Smit, Madoda Ncayiyana (Sky in her eyes), 

Heelen Bhagat (Big balls), Cecil Moller (House of love). 

Wa 'n wina - filmmaker Dumisani Phakathi returns to his old neighbourhood in 

Phiri Township to film and talk to his friends about attitudes towards 

relationships and sex both traditionally and now in the shadow of AIDS. Body and 

soul - looks at the attitudes of the three main religions (Christianity, Islam 

and African traditionalist) in South Africa through people on the ground who 

have to interpret and practice religion in terms of the country's realities. The 

ball - tells the the story of Mozambican children who use condoms to make soccer

alls. In a dramatization, a man confronts them and accuses them of stealing his 

condoms. This story illustrates that many people are not using condoms for safer 

sex, despite their availability. The sky in her eyes - story of a young girl in 

KwaZulu-Natal struggling to come to terms with the death of her mother from 

AIDS. A young boy befriends her and allows her to attach a drawing of her mother 

to his kite. Big balls - Two men are at work, one is black and the other white. 

They are building something together but there is tension. Their conversation is 

raw, peppered with innuendo and tales of supposed conquests. As they talk they 

spar with words that mean so little, but say so much. Funny yet devastatingly 

cruel. It becomes clear that those conquests will ultimately be their demise. 

House of love - explores the lives of sex-workers in the small Namibian harbor 

of Walvis Bay. The women are dependent for the business on the brief visits of 

foreign shipping trawlers. They give insights into the choices they have made 

and why they have made them. Their conflicts center around notions of love, sex, 

sin, and redemption, while the threat of HIV/AIDS exists only in the background.

THE DYING GAME [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCER, DAVID HARRISON. 


Profiles the humanitarian catastrophe facing South Africa, which has the world's 

fastest growing HIV epidemic. To young women infected, then abandonned by their 

boyfriends, the problem centres on male immorality and infidelity. To AIDS 

awareness campaigners it is linked to government inaction, and campaigns that 

skirt the issue of safe sex. But Keane points out that the poverty, poor health 

systems, and mobile labour force (for example, of the miners) all contributed to 

spread the disease.

Twenty years ago, following de-institutionalization around Australia, thousands 

of people were released from mental asylums into the community, with the promise 

of care. But only the first part of that plan was ever implemented. The 

psychiatric institutions were closed and in many cases sold, but the promised 

community services needed to replace them never eventuated. Only the crisis 

cases have any chance of receiving quick attention. People without support and 

treatment now end up on the streets, or in prison. This edition of Insight 

presents discussions with psychiatrists, nurses, police, the mentally ill, their 

friends and families, on what can and and should be done. Includes a current 

story about how one woman's illness led her into jail, relayed live to the

A DEATHLY SILENCE [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCER, SANDRA HARVEY. 





Warning. 

Editor, Michael Nettleship. 

Reporter, Quentin McDermott. 

Actor, Alex Collie. 

This is a case study of teenage suicide, that of 17 year-old Campbell Bolton, 

described as a talented young man with great potentials. By examining the case, 

the programme breaks the taboo of silence which usually surrounds the act of 

suicide; and hopes to gain an insight into a social problem, presently taking a 

heavy toll on Australian lives. The report does not provide answers to the cause 

of Campbell's suicide, but it identifies some personal issues which preoccupied 

Campbell's mind. It seems also likely that Campbell had an abstract, 

intellectual attraction to suicide. Draws on accounts from Campbell's family 

members and school friends, and a reconstruction of a sequence of meticulously 

planned actions supposedly undertaken by Campbell, on the eve of his death 

leading up to the discovery of his body in the hotel carpark.

THE ICE AGE [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCER, STUART GOODMAN. 





Warning. 

Editor, Michael Nettleship ; researcher, Peter Cronau. 

Reporter & camera, Matthew Carney. 

An investigation into the extent of the methamphetamine problem in Australia, 

highlighting the need to find the means to cope with the beginning of the 'Ice 

Age'. Until now, it has been a hidden epidemic. Little is known about its long- 

term effects, or how to treat its addiction. The alarmingly sharp increase in 

the use of 'Ice", or crystal methamphetamine, is drawing attention to the 

problem. Methamphetamine is also known as 'meth' or 'chalk', on which about 73, 

000 Australians are dependant. The drug is cheap, highly addictive and ultra- 

powerful. Therefore, 'Ice' is now more popular than heroin, with many former 

heroin addicts turning to it. The drug is playing havoc with the minds and the 

bodies of thousands of addicted Australians. As well, it is also big on the 

party circuit, and is used across the social spectrum. Ice patients filling the 

hospital emergency wards are psychotic, dangerous, and the most out of control, 

violent human beings whom attending doctors have ever seen. Health services and 

governments in Australia are unprepared for the chaos, which 'Ice' has just 

begun to unleash. 

In this programme, hard-core Ice addicts take viewers into their world, on a 

journey into the dark heart of the 'Ice age' which has hit Australia. Includes 

footage of a hard-core addict, his habits and his community, an itinerant group 

who prefer anonymity and who do not show how they source their drugs. They call 

themselves 'skaters', i.e. one who is on 'high' just going round in circles.

man married to someone from the stolen generation, and from a different cultural 

background. For Zita, it has been a long, hard road home, and it has changed her

healing ceremony at the Yeperenye Festival, Alice Springs. The setting is, for 

the most part, Zita's ancestral country, Aranda land, Central Australia. 

Includes selected archival footage of the landscape of institutional care for

Written by Avie Luthra, Steven Condie. 

Narrator, Indira Varma. 

This is a reconstruction of the Union Carbide methyl isocyanate disaster, 

revealing its horrific and protracted consequences. Describes in detail how a 

deadly cocktail of chemical gas, including the lethally toxic methyl isocyanate 

(MIC), escaped from the Union Carbide chemical plant in Bhopal, blanketing the 

city and killing more than 7,000 and injuring another 200,000. When Union 

Carbide, one of America's most powerful corporations, opened its chemical plant 

in Bhopal, there was hope and celebration. But, this documentary exposes the 

financial pressures and cost-cutting decisions that sacrificed the safe 

operation of the plant. It reveals the horrific nature of MIC and the failure of 

the plant's owners to warn Bhopal's citizens of the time bomb in their midst. 

And, it tells the story of the world's worst industrial disaster, through the 

eyes of those who lived through it. Features interviews with people affected to 

trace the events of that dreadful early morning of 3rd December 1984. Includes

This documentary examines how medical science, in consort with the 

pharmaceutical industry, promotes its new miracle cures for a condition called 

'social anxiety disorder'. Sophisticated selling and aggressive advertising have 

blurred the boundaries between real medical conditions and ordinary life 

experiences, over-stating their benefits and playing down their side-effects. 

Footage of the growing global controversy over drugs, such as Paxil, Prozac and 

Zoloft. Features Dr. David Healy investigating to show their harmful effects, 

and to expose the fraudalent claims of pharmaceutical companies. Features also 

some cases of Paxil victims, including children and their parents; and the 

Washington Food & Drug Administration Public Hearing on anti-depressants and 

suicidal behaviour in children. The controversy culminated in the Paxil lawsuit,

documentary about the Redfern police. It reveals the depth of racism and sexism, 

which penetrates the police force even under constant and open camera 

surveillance. Shows also how their stereotyping and racial profiling creates a 

vicious cycle. In 1991, an ABC Film crew spent six weeks following the police in 

Redfern, New South Wales, a predominantly working class area with a large 

Aboriginal and migrant population. The police here were general duty officers, 

mainly on mobile patrols. The film crew uncovered police attitudes, and showed

'Produced in association with SBSTV - Australia and others.' 

'(c) ARTE France - Les Films d'Ici - 2004.' 

Investigative journalist, Dave Robb; narrator, Geoffrey Batemen. 

A documentary examining the relationship between Hollywood and the Pentagon, 

during the development of the Hollywood motion picture industry, which coincided 

with the entry of the US onto the world stage, politically and militarily. The 

US armed forces foresaw the benefits of supporting the production of war and 

combat films when the US cinema was still in its infancy. For more than fifty 

years producers and directors of war and action movies have been getting a great 

deal from America's armed forces by receiving access to billions of dollars 

worth of sophisticated military hardware and expertise for little or no cost. In 

return, filmmakers must agree to censorship from the Pentagon. As a result, the 

final product which moviegoers see at the theatre reflects less about what the 

director intends and more what the powers-that-be in the military want to 

project about America's armed forces. Includes selected archival footage, 

interviews with journalists and their expert analyses/comments on the subject.

Following Sept. 11, the nation's top leaders gathered to decide the U.S.

of terrorist attacks against the United States by Islamic fundamentalists, 

beginning with the American Embassy workers taken hostage in Iran during Jimmy 

Carter's presidency. Looks at other incidents--the bombing of the U.S. Marine 

barracks in Beirut, the killing of American soldiers in a Berlin nightclub, the 

downing of Pan Am 103, and the first attack on the World Trade Center. Discusses 

the American government's attempts to deal with these attacks, particularly 

focusing on the Reagan administration. Uncovers a long-standing division within

targeting America and Americans for decades.

Close footage of the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in her wake. It was 

at 6.10 am on Monday 29 August, when Hurricane Katrina surged up the Inter- 

coastal Waterway toward the vulnerable eastern sections of New Orleans. By 7am, 

a fifteen foot wave smashed into the Industrial Canal. Examines what made 

Katrina so deadly, and analyses how this event resulted in destruction on an 

unprecedented scale for the region, despite technically advanced flood and storm 

defences and extensive disaster relief planning, 

This documentary includes eyewitness accounts of what actually happened, 

together with high-tech computer simulations of the calamity. Questions whether 

storms like Katrina are increasing in frequency. It also shows how the long-term 

ecology of New Orleans and the shrinking wetlands surrounding the city steadily 

increased its vulnerability. Explains why the protective levee system ultimately

failed, despite improvements in the city's flood and storm defences. The 

programme also looks to the future and asks if anything can be done to restore 

the city to a habitable and safer city.

This documentary, the Tsunami special is presented to mark the first anniversary 

of the tsunami, which devastated Asia, on Boxing Day, 2004. Looks at how the 

region is coping a year later. The special focus is on Sri Lanka and Indonesia, 

the two countries which receive the bulk of Australian aid. Chris Hammer reports 

from Aceh on Australia's role in the reconstruction effort, particularly 

rehousing whole populations. Includes stories from Tsunami survivors, who are 

now involved in rebuilding dwellings, and in the complicated process of re- 

establishing their land title. Looks at how the tsunami affected individuals, 

and includes their views on the relief and reconstruction efforts. In Sri Lanka, 

another country battered by the tsunami, a familiar pattern is emerging. 

Communities, who once lived close to the ocean and managed to survive the 

disaster, are now competing with powerful commercial interests to return to 

their previous way of life. Gives a firsthand look at how these pressures are

eing handled as the complex task of reconstruction gets underway. In Thailand, 

reconstruction is also well underway. There, many still missing are unaccounted 

for, though the known death toll is evenly split between foreign tourists and 

locals. Above all, an estimated 50,000 Thai children are affected by the 

disaster.

Explores and documents the methods used by the US as a way around its own strict 

environmental legislation governing the dumping of toxic and hazardous waste. 

For example, materials banned in the U.S. have been sold to third world 

countries at a large profit. This program examines the enduring problems of 

hazardous and toxic waste disposal together with the moral issues surrounding 

the practice of first world countries using developing nations as international 

sewers for their unwanted waste.

An American documentary exploring the theory that synthetic chemicals in our 

environment could effect the human endocrine system and thus, threaten our 

fertility, intelligence and survival. One scientist has researched alligators 

which are experiencing decreased birth rates, problems with their eggs and 

smaller penis sizes for the males. Another scientist has discovered birth 

defects and behavioural problems with birds, concluding that endocrine 

disruptors were to blame, ie chemicals that disrupt the growth hormones. This 

program looks at the potential risks of chemicals in the environment for humans.

MARCEL THEROUX ; PRODUCED BY NICK HORNBY. 




'October Films.' 


Warning. 

Music, Samuel Sim ; researcher, James Pierson ; editor, Alan MacKay. 

Footage of Marcel Theroux's mission to find out about climate change as a lay- 

person; to identify the problems; and to seek solutions. He travels to places 

where it is happening and meets those most affected by it, as well as, gathers 

the thoughts of experts, along the way. Marcel's first stop is Alaska, the 

fastest warming place on earth, where there are warning signs of impending 

dangers. His journey ends in Bengal, India, where the reality of climate change 

is being played out along the drowning coastlines. The feedbacks from the 

experts are not reassuring. They tell of natural catastrophies, such as those 

faced by Europe - the floods of 2002, heatwave of 2003, extraordinary hurricanes 

of 2004, and the winter storms of the late 1990s. 

Marcel's search for solutions directs him to C.A.T., Centre of Alternative 

Technology, England; and to Chernobyl, site of the worst nuclear accident in 

history. At C.A.T., he learns that to bring global warming under control, every 

individual must produce less than 2 1/2 tonnes of carbon per year - an 

impracticable target in a carbon-intensive consumer world. As for alternative 

technology to generate renewable energy, there is no time for all the 'nice 

ideas' to work. In times of urgency, safe nuclear power, despite its dangers as 

seen in Chernobyl, seems to be the only solution. And, the debate continues. The 

Greens' suggestion of changing the ways of the developed nations, seems 

unworkable. Developing countries, such as India and China, are rapidly switching 

over to the very same carbon-intensive consumerism, which is causing their own 

destruction. Carbon-intensive things in the home, such as cars and electric/ 

electronic gadgets, are now the weapons of mass destruction of the planet. The 

simple choice is to switch them off, or install nuclear power stations, but it 

is a politically hard decision.

GLOBAL DIMMING [VIDEORECORDING] / DIRECTOR, DUNCAN COPP ; WRITTEN & PRODUCED BY 

DAVID SINGTON. 




Online editor, Mike Curd; film editor, Horacio Queiro; editor, Matthew Barrett. 

Narration, Jonathan Holmes. 

This documentary features investigations into the new climatic phenomenon of 

global dimming which, researchers claim, is causing alarming and dramatic 

climate change. Research work, leading to the discovery of global dimming, is 

traced back 2 years ago to Israel, where Dr. Gerald Stanhill produced results 

showing a 22% drop in the sunlight over Israel. In germany, Dr. Beate Liepert 

produced similar results, showing a marked reduction in sunlight over the 

Bavarian Alps. Both were greeted with scepticism by colleagues and the 

scientific community. A search of the pertinent literature and meteorological

ecords tells the same story, showing that it is a global phenomenon. Subsequent 

studies show how pollution and greenhouse gases which cause global warming is 

also causing global dimming. Both could alter the patterns of the world's 

rainfall and climate change, affecting the balance of the planet. The damage 

done could be irreversible, unless urgent action is taken to tackle the root 

cause of both global warming and global dimming.

THE GREENHOUSE MAFIA [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCER, JANINE COHEN. 





Warning. 

Editor, Jessica Miller ; researcher, Jo Puccini. 

Reporter, Janine Cohen. 

An investigation into the politics of climate change and how it is impacting on 

science, and what it could cost Australia. Reports on the disturbing allegations 

that a powerful group of industry lobbyists, viz. from the fossil fuel industry, 

have hijacked the Australian greenhouse policy. Their influence extends all the 

way into Federal Cabinet; and one industry lobbyist even maintains that he has 

access to Cabinet papers, enabling him to fix the outomes. They are the self- 

professed 'Greenhouse mafia'. Examines also separate claims by eminent 

Australian scientists that the public is being denied full information about 

government strategies to combat global warming. Looks also at claims that CSIRO 

scientists are being gagged from public debate on the subject, when it reflects 

badly on govenment policy. The latest weather extreme forecast for Australia is 

alarming. The year, 2005 was the hottest on record; and carbon emissions are 

forecast to bring more heat waves, storms, droughts, bushfires and diseases. 

This report is presented to help Australians understand what they are not being 

told.

This documentary looks at how hostage-taking is used as media propaganda by 

modern terrorists and how it has brought a powerful and deplorable version of 

terrorism into living rooms around the world. Captors have reduced human life to 

a mere commodity, using it as a potent political weapon. Investigates the 

historical precedent and modern implications of hostage-taking, tracing its 

recent history back to the ruins of Beirut and the Shia terrorists who seized 

Terry Waite. Now, Sunni militants in Iraq conduct brutal beheadings on camera to 

expose their ruthless drive for revenge. The political and emotional dilemmas 

unfold with remarkable access to kidnapped Italian journalist Guiliana Sgrena's 

family since the day she was seized to her release. Includes film reconstruction,

PIRATES OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA [VIDEORECORDING] / A FILM BY FREDERIC BRUNNQUELL. 



In 1998 the Singapore-based oil tanker Petro Ranger was boarded by pirates in 

the Malacca Strait. She was hijacked and taken to China, where the pirates 

attempted to transfer the cargo of oil to black marketeers. The Chinese coast 

guard interrupted the operation. They confiscated the oil, returned the ship 

empty to its owners, and accepted a large bribe from the pirates, which saw them 

released after five months. The only one kept in prison was the head of gang, a 

Singaporean called Mr Wong, who was arrested and imprisoned in Indonesia. 

Through secretly filmed prison interviews, it becomes clear that he recruited 

men from the large pool of unemployed sailors in slum areas. Towards the end of 

the program Wong hints that he could say more but will not.

Narrator, Evguenig Jigalova. 

Narrated by a young Russian economics student whose own family lost money in the 

MMM venture, the program investigates the biggest con of the 80s - the MMM 

affair. The Mavrodi brothers set up the MMM company in the times of 

privatisation, when every Russian was issued a state voucher representing their 

share in public property. The MMM offered to invest those vouchers for their 

clients and promised attractive interest rates. It all went too well, and after 

a lavish and successful television advertising campaign MMM found itself swamped 

by wannabe investors. When the government intervened, launching a tax 

investigation against MMM, the whole enterprise collapsed. Small investors have 

not seen a rouble.

PRODUCER, MIKE CAREY. 





Warning. 

Researcher, Melanie Morrison; editors, Nick O'Brien, Wayne Love. 

Host, George Negus; reporter, David O'Shea. 

A report on investigations into the death of Indonesia's leading human rights 

activist, Munir Thalib Said, by arsenic poisoning while a passenger on board 

Garuda Flight 974 to Holland. Munir's wife and fellow human rights activists 

initiate their own investigations. Finding themselves up against criminals, they 

hand the case to the Parliamentary Commission on Human Rights, hoping they could 

enforce the law and uphold justice, and solve Munir's murder. In turn, the 

Commission have to ask the new president for support, in the face of powerful 

opposition. They have evidence that Munir's death is the result of a conspiracy, 

involving Garuda and Indonesia's feared intelligence and security institutions. 

Munir's wife is now in Geneva lobbying the U.N., and will next lobby the 

European Union, in Brussels. Arsenic poisoning to silence high profile public 

figures seems commonplace, and is ongoing. The president, SBY, appears 

personally committed to seeing that those behind Garuda are brought to account. 

He has come to power vowing to clean up his country's human rights reputation. 

Includes selected archival footage of Munir's background and his rise to 

prominence, from lawyer to human rights campaigner, leading a tiredless crusade 

against state-sponsored thuggery and militarism.

The story behind the images, which have scandalised the United States and

Ghraib prison in Baghdad. Four Corners follows the chain of command up from the

overlapping involvement of prison guards, military police, military intelligence,

This studio forum, with the Insight Focus Group, discusses schoolyard bullying. 

It is on the rise and is assuming a new frightening form, with technology's 

giving bullies a new way to taunt and abuse their target. On cyber-space there 

are websites for bullies to engage in cyber-bullying. Together with mobile 

phones and SMS messages, it is easy for someone to bully because a bully can 

remain anonymous. Gives examples of the types of messages posted on the website. 

Includes the dramatisation of a typical instance of schoolyard bullying as 

witnessed by a member of the Focus Group. In it a friend was physically 

assaulted by one of the alleged bullies, while another filmed the assault on his 

mobile phone. He then showed the footage around the playground and tried to send 

the images to his friends' phones. Presents stories of actual cases of bullying; 

opinions, concerns, as well as, strategies to deal with the problem. Includes 

also media reports on cases of bullying in Melbourne's schoolyards, relayed live 

to the studio by reporters at the scene.

Researcher, Alice Bhandhukravi ; online editor, Dominic McMahon ; film editor, 

Catherine Arend. 

ABC Introduction, Geraldine Doogue ; B.B.C. narrator, Melissa Berry. 

This is the story of one school, its headmaster and a group of Muslim girls who 

find themselves at the centre of a political storm. Raymond Scieux, the 

headmaster at Eugene Delacroix School, in northern Paris, is spoiling for a 

fight, when he announces at assembly that he does not want to recognise any 

pupil's religious persuasion in his school. He has the controversial French law 

on his side, i.e., religious symbols have been banned from schools. Muslim 

headscarves are the target. The majority of teachers are in favour of Scieux's 

edict, because they believe they have to help girls withstand religious 

pressure. Then, ten veiled girls at Delacriox decide to defy the headmaster. 

Their search for a compromise takes a dramatic turn, when Iraqi terrorists 

kidnap two French journalists and demand a repeal of the ban. Since this 

documentary takes to air, they have been released and returned to France 

unharmed. Back at the school, the school girls and teachers grapple with the 

rules which threaten to inflame the tensions they were designed to calm. To date, 

almost fifty veiled schoolgirls have been expelled across from France, since the 

law was introduced. The government has now extended the ban on religious symbols 

to cover hospital staff. Includes interviews, and media spotlight on the school.

THE DEGREE FACTORIES [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCER, SARAH CURNOW. 





Warning. 

Editor, Jessica Miller ; researcher, Jo Puccini ; executive producer, Bruce 

Belsham. 


Report on the plight of the Australian higher education system, the result of 

the decline in overall government support. This, Dr. B. Nelson, repeatedly 

denies, quoting figures which contradict directly with his department's of 

actual government funding drop of 22% between 1996 and 2000. Fending off 

questions about the issue, he claims that he is unaware of what is going on. He 

has come up with rhetoric, promises of more reforms. Meanwhile, universities, 

forced to fend for themselves, have turned students into clients, and degrees 

into commodities. Almost all Australian universities, now highly dependent on 

full-fee paying international students, undertake risks to lure them, 

sacrificing quality and rigorous academic scrutiny. No one is speaking out about 

the problems under the present climate. There are allegations of degree 

factories; scandals of plagarism; soft marking; and even degrees awarded 

undeserved. Ten of the 38 universities are making losses in 2003; while the 

elite Group of 8, including Melbourne and Sydney, will do well in the business 

world. Just ANU and the University of Melbourne, are ranked as the world's top 

100 universities. 

Academics view that under-resourced institutions are not giving students a good 

education. Messages about cut-backs and the struggle for higher education in 

Australia have hit the national news headlines in Singapore and Hong Kong. Many 

here believe that Australia can no longer aspire to be a clever country. Its 

traditional, cultural standing of quality and equal opportunity are being 

destroyed by the rush to sell the clever country. Its reputation for world-class 

teaching is at stake. Universities with better infrastructure and clearer 

visions will surplant Australian universities; and that eventuality will be 

catastrophic. Many Asian governments are catching up with the infrastructure. 

Universities in China and Japan are busy positioning and re-defining themselves. 

Within fifteen years, they will be ready to compete. 

Includes interviews with the federal education minister, vice-chancellors, 

academics and international students of the universities featured, to present 

concerns and comments on the higher education issue. Includes also selected 

footage of nation-wide protests against the recent government legislation to tie 

-in higher education funding with contract employment conditions.

STRIKING FOR STATE AID [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCED AND DIRECTED BY GRAHAM

SHIRLEY. 



Also known under the title, The Battle for state aid. 


In the NSW country town of Goulburn, in the cold winter of 1962, parents, pushed 

to provide better toilet facilities at a local Catholic school, said they simply 

couldn't afford it. At the end of their tether, they temporarily moved their 

children to the local State schools to make the point (rather successfully) that 

the overcrowded state system needed independent schools to survive. The events 

in Goulburn are used here to symbolise a longer and deeper struggle - the 

struggle between Catholic and Protestant which has been central to Australia's 

social and political history. The program touches on the local - schoolkids 

throwing stones and chanting rhymes - and the national - a mix of political 

expediency and genuine concern saw the issue of State Aid to non-government 

schools finally resolved at the highest levels of Australian politics. But in 

the 1990s have we really moved on from our sectarian past, or just shifted our 

focus?

This eight-part story tells how a minor Germanic dialect evolved into the 

English language which is now the language of millions around the world. Two 

thousand years ago, English started as a tribal, guttural dialect, spoken by a 

few thousand people, seemingly isolated in a small island. A thousand years ago, 

it established its first base camp, from where it developed, adapting and 

changing amidst radical political and social upheavals, through history. 

Travelling across Britain, Melvyn Bragg traces the roots of the English language 

to Ango-Saxon times, through Danish invaders, medieval French and Renaissance 

Latin, four of the main contributors to modern English. 

By the Elizabethan age, English completely dominated the British Isles, poised 

for its travels further afield. The 18th and 19th centuries see attempts at 

reforming and standardising the tongue, and the soaring verse of Romanticism and 

verbal prudishness of the Victorian era. Linguistic milestones are highlighted 

by original editions of critical texts. 

English left Britain through British interests abroad, where it was changed and 

recharged, giving birth to new 'Englishes'. In the 17th century, it journeyed to 

the New World via the pilgrim fathers, and evolved into American English. It 

travelled to multilingual India where it became a unifying tongue. In the West 

Indies new English dialects were formed; and in Australia the variation in used 

is now returning to influence the mother country. Melvyn Bragg brings it full 

circle to the British Isles to survey English as it is spoken today, measuring 

the influence of American slang and vocabulary from other languages. The outcome 

is an immeasurably enriched English language.

Directors, Robert Bee (epidoses 1 & 2) David Thomas (episode 3 & 5) Nigel Wattis 

(episodes 4, 6 & 8). 

This eight-part story tells how a minor Germanic dialect evolved into the 

English language which is now the language of millions around the world. Two 

thousand years ago, English started as a tribal, guttural dialect, spoken by a 

few thousand people, seemingly isolated in a small island. A thousand years ago, 

it established its first base camp, from where it developed, adapting and 

changing amidst radical political and social upheavals, through history. 

Travelling across Britain, Melvyn Bragg traces the roots of the English language 

to Ango-Saxon times, through Danish invaders, medieval French and Renaissance 

Latin, four of the main contributors to modern English. 

By the Elizabethan age, English completely dominated the British Isles, poised 

for its travels further afield. The 18th and 19th centuries see attempts at 

reforming and standardising the tongue, and the soaring verse of Romanticism and 

verbal prudishness of the Victorian era. Linguistic milestones are highlighted 

by original editions of critical texts. 

English left Britain through British interests abroad, where it was changed and 

recharged, giving birth to new 'Englishes'. In the 17th century, it journeyed to 

the New World via the pilgrim fathers, and evolved into American English. It 

travelled to multilingual India where it became a unifying tongue. In the West 

Indies new English dialects were formed; and in Australia the variation in used 

is now returning to influence the mother country. Melvyn Bragg brings it full 

circle to the British Isles to survey English as it is spoken today, measuring 

the influence of American slang and vocabulary from other languages. The outcome 

is an immeasurably enriched English language.

Part one unveils an individual's genetic destiny, based on current research into 

genes for a person's behaviour or mental make-up. A swipe of DNA can reveal if 

an individual is programmed for depression or aggression. This new knowledge 

will change our understanding of ourselves, fundamentally. But, it challenges 

our readiness for the genes of human behaviour; and, encourages debate over 

whether human behaviour is determined by genes or environment. There is also the 

legal issue of genetic discrimination. Features Dr. Ritchie Poulton and his 

research into this field of behaviour genes, which has been replicated, 

successfully. His research results prove conclusively that genes and environment 

work together. Includes also interviews with other experts in the field of 

genetics. 

Part two features a trip to the secret location of a living fossil, the Wollemi 

pine, the existence of which raises the question of the best approach to adopt 

to help the endangered trees to survive. These rare and vulnerable trees should 

have been extinct, eons ago, but there is one small secret last stand. As they 

struggle to survive in the wild, there is an unusual plan to save the species by 

planting them in backyards around the world. Includes interviews with experts 

who share their knowledge about these trees. Includes, also a tour of a secret 

Queensland state government forestry nursery, which houses some 50,000 Wollemi 

plants, grown with cuttings from the wild, seven years ago. The hope is that if 

the Wollemi pine died out in the wild, it would live on in the garden as an 

ornamental plant.

This four-part documentary is a study of the sex lives of the native wildlife of 

Australia. It combines close camera footage of a selection of wildlife, 

accompanied by entertaining anecdotes from scientists, with expert knowledge on 

animal sex. Shows that the battle of the sexes is just as much an issue in the 

animal world as it is for men and women. 'Sex In the bush' will challenge the 

viewer's assumptions of what is natural, normal and even possible. Features 

some of Australia's most respected scientists who share their knowledge. 

Episode one, Rules of Engagement, is a guide to finding the perfect mate. It 

offers advice equally applicable in the city and in the bush. Choosing a mate is 

one of the most important decisions a female will make in her life, as the 

success of her babies depends on her mate's having excellent genes and plentiful 

resources. The challenges here are finding the right mate and convincing them to 

cooperate. The added difficulty is that males and females are seeking very 

different things. Sperm are tiny and cheap, while eggs are enormous and very 

expensive. The problem with this huge difference is that males are always 

prepared to give theirs up, whereas females are much more reticent. The result 

is a battle of the sexes, a world of showy males and fussy females. 

Episode two, Sperm Quest, reveals intimate details of what occurs during sexual 

intercourse. Males would exercise the most desperate strategies to achieve 

their goal, as in the case of male marsupial mice, which literally copulate 

themselves to death, while some males have huge testicles, and others have huge 

individual sperm. The bed-bug would use the most dastardly ploy, which 

circumvents the female's reproductive tract altogether by simply injecting sperm 

anywhere in her body with a sabre-like penis. Some penguins have resorted to

'prostitution', while the Wandering Albatross reveals that 'monogamy' is not 

all it's cracked-up to be. Questions the existence of animal orgasms, 'rape' in 

the animal kingdom, and whether female promiscuity is natural. 

Episode three, Internal Affairs, reveals the extraordinary array of strategies 

creatures use to give life to their offspring. From conception through to birth, 

the programme reveals how numbers, timing and the environment can make all the 

difference between life and death for many species. The kangaroo has an amazing 

suvival kit, enabling it to switch its reproductive system on and off to survive 

the elements. There is a tiny animal that does not require a male at all to 

reproduce. Some, like the queen bees and bulldog ants, use the strategy of 

control of timing to produce 'babies on demand'. While the Bynoe's gecko do not 

need males at all to reproduce. They are all females, all virgins and they all 

give birth. In nature, they have 'birth control' too. Seahorse males fertilise 

and incubate eggs in their stomach - even going into labour to give birth - 

proving that some fathers are mothers too. And, what they do is natural. By 

comparison, human reproduction looks boring. 

Episode four, Bringing up baby, looks at how the parents give their offsprings 

the very best chance of carrying on the family line, to the extent of risking 

babies', as well as, parents' lives. Shows how some parent animals sacrifice 

their lives to ensure her genes are passed on. While it is often the mother 

which puts her life on hold for her young, other mothers palm all the care off 

onto the father, such as with the Father Emu which is lumbered with caring for 

the chicks, even though they might not be his own. The young learn the skills 

needed to survive from either parent, but some like the Dolphins take this to 

the extreme, passing on highly advanced skills from generation to generation. 

Once the young reaches breeding age, they have to be shown the first steps to 

getting a mate, a very complex process. And, the story begins all over.

Narrated by Brad Pitt. 

A six-part documentary on the health threats which face the world today. 

Retraces the past 150 years' breakthroughs made in public health, which increase 

the average western life expectancy by 35 years. Shows conditions in over twenty 

countries, examining why curable diseases still persist; the efforts to treat 

them; and the dangers of new "superbugs." Enquiry into how the benefits of 

public health have yet to reach many of the poorest nations in the developing 

world. In the past two decades, infectious diseases which had nearly been 

eradicated, such as tuberculosis, have resurged with a vengeance; while deadly 

new diseases, such as AIDS, SARS and West Nile Virus have emerged. Microbial 

resistance to many modern drugs is rising, threatening people everywhere. Today, 

the latest epidemic is only a plane ride away. 

Part One, Disease warriors, chronicles the groundbreaking work of early 

researchers, such as, the English physician Edward Jenner, and the French 

scientist Louis Pasteur. Part two, Rise of the superbugs, tells the story of the 

discovery of the very first antibiotic, penicillin, and the subsequent 

development of more "wonder drugs", which transformed modern medicine. Looks at 

also the growing threat posed by new strains of germs, such as tuberculosis and 

staph, which are resistant to the best antibiotics. Questions the effectiveness 

of the present strongest medicines, and the ability to develop new drugs in time 

to replace them. 

Part three, Delivering the goods examines how at the beginning of the 21st 

century, science can prevent, treat or cure most of the deadliest diseases known 

to mankind. Yet, millions die needlessly every year because the benefits of 

modern medicine and public health fail to reach them. Documents the innovative 

health programs and health champions who, against all odds, are delivering the 

goods to millions and inspiring a new vision for the future of global health. 

Part four, Deadly messengers is the history of the plague and its devastating 

consequences for Medieval Europe. It is also about the serious threat posed by 

vector-borne diseases, with the mosquito, identified as the most dangerous 

vector, which contines to threaten public health, today. Includes stories of 

heroic scientists and health workers who battled against the mosquito; and 

examines current efforts to control vector-borne diseases. 

Part five, Back to basics, investigates the link between health and the 

essential requirements which many people take for granted. It also examines how 

an overabundance of nutrition - in the form of over-consumption - is causing an 

epidemic of obesity, spreading across the globe. Part six, Prescription for 

survival, examines the most serious threats facing mankind today, such as avian 

flu; and the urgent need to strengthen global public health systems.

DOES THE MMR JAB CAUSE AUTISM? [VIDEORECORDING] / WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY 

NATHAN 

WILLIAMS. 





Warning. 

BBC online editor, Mike Curd ; editor, Matthew Barrett ; ABC editor, Guy Bowden 

; ABC associate producer, Michael Doyle. 

Reporter, BBC Horizon ; BBC narrator, Dilly Barlow ; ABC introductory narration, 

Ticky Fullerton. 

This documentary tracks the MMR-autism debate, from the first alarming headlines 

in the 1990s through early large-scale epidemiological studies to the very 

latest clinical research. There is a disturbing claim that the triple MMR jab 

can cause autism. In Australia, MMR vaccination rates have remained high despite 

the controversy. Now there is a warning from Britain, spooking some parents into 

not vaccinating their children. The result is the return of the old scourges 

like measles. British bowel disease specialist, Dr Andrew Wakefield, has sparked 

off a media storm by first linking MMR to autism. The medical establishment, in 

Australia and in Britain, say that Wakefield is scaremongering. But, the claims 

and counter-claims have led to confusion for many parents. The evidence from 

scientific studies may answer the question as to whether the MMR jab can cause 

autism. Includes selected footage of research work being done on MMR-autism; and 

cases of autistic children and their parents, with their comments and stories. 

Includes also interviews with specialists for their expert comments and views.

Liz Jackson interviews "Case/Patient A" (known as "Anne" ), who was one of the 

four patients infected with the AIDS virus after having minor surgical 

procedures performed in 1989 at the private consultation rooms of Sydney surgeon, 

Dr. T.P. Davis. It was only through Anne's persistance for an investigation into 

the matter, that the Health Dept. made the discovery of the patient to patient 

transmission & the link to Dr. Davis. The main problems Anne faced was that many 

of the experts presumed that poor infection control couldn't happen here, the 

minor nature of the procedure and the lack of precedence for patient to patient 

transmission, although there has been documentation of this with the case of 

Romanian children medically infected with AIDS through poor infection control.

As the death toll continues to rise in one of the worst global virus scares of 

the last 25 years, this documentary from Channel 4 asks where SARS came from, 

what{u0315}s coming next and if the global panic is justified. At the time this 

program was made, more than 100 people had died, there are thousands of victims 

in quarantine worldwide and hospitals have been closed. The documentary speaks 

to the World Health Organisation scientists striving to isolate the virus and 

find a cure. It also examines how this new virus is 

believed to have been transmitted from birds to their peasant farmer owners in 

Guangdong Province then spread like wildfire, being taken to Hong Kong, the 

program alleges, by an unwitting professor of virology before spreading to 

destinations such as Hanoi, Toronto and the UK.

For the last two months, the world has been paralysed by the spread of SARS. 

Some have told us that its more deadly than AIDS; others that the virus poses no

on the front line in the battle against SARS in Hong Kong and Canada. How did 

the virus evade early control measures? How likely are the world's scientists to 

discover a vaccine? And now that the vaccine has taken hold, what can we do to 

stop its spread?

This is the journey of a man suffering from Parkinson's disease. Ross Collins 

tells of his past twelve years' experiences of living with Parkinson's. Before, 

he had a steady job with Victoria Police, with promising future prospects; and 

was happily married with two young children. The disease struck him at an early 

age, changing his life and setting him on a different course. His outlook on 

life has changed, and his decision-making influenced; as well, his relationships 

with his family affected. He feels normal only when he is shaking, rattling and 

rolling along on his Harley. His wish for a cure leads him to pin his hopes on 

faith healing by the 'miracle man', in Brazil. The first two visits did not seem 

to have done anything to improve his physical condition. Ross is returning to 

Brazil for the third time, hoping against hope that his condition could be 

improved by a miracle healing. This documentary gives an intimate look into the 

life of a Parkinson's disease sufferer and that of his family. Includes also a 

medical definition and prognosis of the disease by neurologists.

A former mental health patient of Rush Presbyterian St Luke's Hospital in 

Chicago, who originally sought counselling for depression, was diagnosed by the 

highly respected psychiatrists as having multiple personality disorder (MPD) 

that, she was led to believe, resulted from ritualistic satanic abuse. Doctor 

Bennett Braun, one of the most influential specialists in the fields of 

multiple presonality disorder and repressed memory therapy, and his colleague, 

Dr Roberta Sacks run a clinic in Chicago where patients are encouraged to 

recover memories of childhood that, as this program reveals, are of dubious 

veracity at best. A second woman who underwent treatment with Dr Braun also 

criticizes his methods, which included the provision of 'therapy' for her two 

children and the convincing of her husband that she had been programmed from a 

young age to murder him and their sons.

The story of Dr. John Cade and his role in the discovery of the first effective 

treatment for psychiatric illness, which was incurable, right until the 1940s. 

Dr. Cade linked mental illness with physical problems which could be healed. 

Suspecting that there was a substance causing the symptoms, he set out to find a 

cure. This led to his research and discovery of lithium as a pharmacological 

treatment for bipolar disorder. Dr. Mogens Schou continued Dr. Cade's work in a 

set of clinical studies, resulting in unequivocal findings on lithium. This film 

is based on family recollections and the writings of Dr. John Cade. Information 

is sourced also from selected archival footage and interviews with experts in 

the fields of psychiatry, psychology and pharmacology.

THE VALLEY OF LIFE OR DEATH [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCED & DIRECTED BY ADRIAN 

PENNINK. 



Narrator, Aden Gillett. 

Documentary which looks at how science has caught up with a belief widely held 

in parts of Africa, that circumcision protects men from contracting HIV. 

Research has found that the foreskin is made up of cells designed to absorb 

infection as a function of the immune system - so foreskins make men more 

vulnerable to HIV. Intense debate now rages about defying cultural traditions 

and to recommend circumcision of all African males.

This program spotlights an Australian company which is aggressively enforcing a 

suite of patents that affect 95 percent of every living creature's DNA, ie. the 

non-coding or junk DNA.This development has deeply worried some scientists who 

fear that the public good is falling victim to private profit. In this program, 

reporter Jonathan Holmes talks to the man who heads the Australian biotechnology 

company and who travels the world clinching new licensing deals for his 

shareholders. As the biotech revolution powers ahead, Holmes investigates 

whether a system meant to encourage investment and to reward invention may 

instead deny help to those who suffer genetically inherited diseases.

Australian scientists in Sydney made medical history by creating a life-saving 

brother for a child with an incurable genetic disease. Features the case of a 

Tasmanian couple who, with their help, have this life-saving baby, at their 

third try. The pioneering IVF treatment, which is legal only in N.S.W., hit the 

news headlines, sparking an ethical storm. Examines the moral and ethical issues 

that genetic manipulation raises, including the potential uses and misuses of 

genetic technology. Raises also the spectre of an extreme form of eugenics, as 

seen in the World War II Nazi push to create a master race through human 

genetics. Some view eugenics as another form of PGD. Presents the diverse views 

of eminent ethicists and the Catholic Church, world wide.
