Hells Angels
The strand opens with a documentary on the seemingly unstoppable rise of some of the world's most dangerous men. The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club's membership is rapidly growing in number, with new sub-factions springing up across the world, everywhere from Brazil to Liechtenstein. The rock-loving bikers have for many years been associated with violence, but many police officers now believe that the Angels have also become a sophisticated international crime organisation, with links to the wholesale trafficking of drugs. In Canada and Scandinavia, the expansion of the gang has led to violent turf wars involving shootings, bombings and hundreds of deaths.
Ethiopia: A Journey
In 1984, with Ethiopia in the grip of famine, Michael Buerk filed two shocking reports highlighting the plight of the sick and the dying. The harrowing images prompted aid efforts from around the world, yet 20 years on the situation remains desperate, with twice as many people now on the brink of starvation. Buerk returns to Africa to meet those whose lives were irrevocably affected by the tragedy first time around - including an aid worker who found herself in the impossible situation of deciding who should live and who should die - and asks whether the developed world has helped to create a nation wholly dependent on charity.
Football and Freedom
As South Africa celebrates a decade of democracy, this film follows the fortunes of two of the country's promising young footballers. Both possess their share of talent but Seth is white, and from a wealthy background, while Thuso is black and sleeps on his granny's kitchen floor. What has a free South Africa come to mean for the two young sportsmen? Director: Dominic Ozanne Editor: Karen O'Connor
American Virgins
Why are more and more of America's teenagers saying no to sex? The Bush administration is allocating large amounts of dollars to abstinence programmes, many of which are faith-based. One such organisation is the Silver Ring Thing, which claims that 65 million Americans have sexually transmitted diseases, and that its campaign of abstinence pledges for teenagers is a response to this medical crisis. This film follows a group of kids as they help spread the word. Director Richard Alwyn ; Editor Karen O'Connor
Access to Evil
Crisis talks over North Korea's nuclear weapons have already begun but, away from the show-city of Pyongyang, there's evidence that the communist power is testing its chemical weapons on women, children, families of dissidents, and political prisoners. Gaining unprecedented access, reporter Olenka Frenkiel uncovers fresh proof of this barbarous conduct from those who, until now, have been silenced. Producer Ewa Ewart ; Editor Karen O'Connor
Iran, a Murder Mystery
In June 2003 photographer Zahra Kazemi returned to her native Iran, after 30 years in exile, to photograph student protests. Three weeks later she was dead. Jim Muir looks into the circumstances surrounding her death, revealing an extraordinary battle for the heart of Iran waged by hard-liners as the country prepared to go to the polls. Director Diana Hill ; Producer Angeli Mehta
One Day of War
Every minute, two people are killed in conflicts around the world, but little is known about those fighting and dying. Here, starting a new run of the This World strand, film-makers follow 16 different people on a single day in war zones, from the jungles of Laos to the Black Sea, revealing the human stories behind the conflicts, including battles over disputed homelands, power and deeply held convictions.
LAPD - Protect and Serve?
October 2002: can Los Angeles - the murder capital of America - be made a safer place? New LA police chief William J Bratton is brought in to reduce the chilling statistics of 658 people killed in 2002 and restore faith in the force following the beating of Rodney King , OJ Simpson 's trial and the Rampart corruption case. Cameras spend a year with the officers at the forefront of the homicide problem, following struggles between City Hall, rank-and-file cops and the gang members plaguing the streets. Producer Richard Bee ; Editor Karen O'Connor
