City
life
This series of 22 programs examines globalization's effects on cities and their inhabitants. Globalization coupled with a lack of action by world leaders is causing an ever-widening gap in wealth, separating the rich from the impoverished. Poverty is increasing in cities dramatically. People from rural areas all over the world are moving to cities at an alarming rate because rural economies can no longer sustain them. The lure of opportunity and employment draw them to the cities, further exacerbating a global problem
12. A Fistful of Rice – Nine out of every ten children
in Nepal suffer from some form of malnutrition, which ironically goes unnoticed.
This program examines the complex causes and effects of protein energy malnutrition
through the stories of people in Nepal who live with it on a daily basis.
It also looks at ways of changing attitudes toward food and gender.
13. Patently Obvious – Protection of intellectual
property is the foundation of the 21st century new knowledge economy. In the
Indian state of Gujarat, Professor Anil Gupta travels from village to village
seeking out grassroots inventors and helping them document their work and
protect it with patents. Gupta's work not only helps these traditional knowledge
keepers earn more money, but also allows them to earn respect and interest
from the next generation.
14. The Other Side – Examines the devastating impact of Mexican-United
States migration. The families and communities left behind are disabled, and
their languages and cultures are being destroyed. This program looks at villagers
who strive to ensure that their children will no longer have to migrate to
have a better life.
18. Stop the Traffick – Thirty
years of war have left Cambodia ravaged and poverty-stricken, making it particularly
vulnerable to the child labor industry. Children as young as 10 years old
are trafficked into cities from rural areas to become sex workers or trafficked
out to Thailand to work as beggars, domestic laborers, or laborers on construction
sites. This program examines the trade and new efforts by the International
Labor Organization and local groups to rescue the children and stop the traffic.
19. My Hanoi – This program tells the story
of Tran Thuy Linh, whose
family has lived in the flower village area of Hanoi for generations but must
now move. Thuy describes the extended family she
grew up with and looks at their lives against the changing city.
20. Lines
in the Dust – In a small village in northern
Ghana, a group of men and women discuss their daily chores with the help of
a chart they've drawn in the dust. This village is part of a program called
Reflect, which aims to reach the 900 million illiterate adults across the
world. Reflect uses participants' own knowledge and experience as starting
points for learning. Lines in the dust looks at this program in Ghana and
India, and how it not only teaches people to read, write, and work with numbers,
the participants are also changing ideas about men's and women's separate
workloads, standing up for their rights, earning more money for their families,
and becoming self-assured.
22. Holy Smoke: Cambodians Fight
Tobacco --Developing countries
like Cambodia bear the brunt of aggressive marketing techniques by huge multinational
tobacco companies. There are no health warnings on tobacco products in Cambodia
and no bans on sales to minors. However, since the fall of the Khmer Rouge
regime, previously suppressed religion has asserted itself as an instrument
of change. Buddhist monks are now spearheading the campaign to persuade Cambodians
to give up tobacco.

night's journey into day
For over forty years, South Africa was governed by the most
notorious form of racial domination since Nazi Germany. When it finally collapsed,
those who had enforced apartheid's rule wanted amnesty for their crimes. Their
victims wanted justice. As a compromise, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission
(TRC) was formed. As it investigated the crimes of apartheid, the Commission

history. By revealing the past instead of burying it, the TRC hoped to pave
the way to a peaceful future.
