Survivors found their way to Clark Air Force Base, an abandoned U.S. facility just miles away, which quickly provided shelter and comfort. But the refugees soon began to feel unexplainable symptoms. Children were being born with horrific deformities, and the people became sicker and sicker. They eventually realised that certain areas around their new home had served as the toxic dump for American troops stationed at the airbase, rendering their water completely polluted.

For many women, sex slavery is the only viable means of escape from the destitution of their homeland. Living as girlfriends and mistresses or dancers for wealthy club owners, Eastern European, Thai, and South East Asian women work in order to send what little money they get to relatives and loved ones back home, one Thai woman explains while hiding her face behind her hair. They have come to South Africa via the powerful Asian mafia, which provides them with the false documentation that enables them to enter the country, and which renders them the property and pawns of this complex underground web.

On board a motor boat, BRA rebels skirt along the shore, bringing in medicine for the wounded. Travelling inland to avoid the PNG blockade, dreadlocked rebels fire bullets up river. Rumours of civilian massacres at the hands of the PNG army have revived hostilities. A woman who lost one son and two grandchildren shows us the flesh wound, deep on the back of her leg. Her surviving son recalls, "they didn't warn anyone - they just shot them dead." People now look to the BRA for protection and many are leaving the government controlled care centres to live in bush shelters with the rebels. With increasing supplies of weaponry, they were able to capture 5 PNG soldiers during a government assault. Our film concludes by following the deadlocked negotiati...

In 1998, more than a million troops stood poised along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. India and Pakistan were on the brink of a war which could quickly escalate into a nuclear conflict. This piece looks in detail at the extent to which the extremist Hindu fundamentalist movement, the R.S.S., has driven India’s nuclear arms race.

AusAid battle it out with the Government. They offer loans of only $80 - an amount they believe will encourage constructive investment in the future. Perhaps a tractor or some fertiliser to increase production. The regional government is in a hurry though and are dishing-out loans of $400 with lower interest and longer pay back time. Not surprisingly these loans are a big hit, it's a chance to buy a few luxuries too. Yet no-one's celebrating so far in Banyalong. With still no cash economy to speak of and in a region renowned for it's poor soil and harsh frosts, the capital injection is not reaping sustainable rewards quite yet. Many h...

With more ancient Greek settlements than Greece and more Roman ruins than Italy, Turkey is an archaeologist’s treasure trove.... and a plunderer’s paradise.
A multi million dollar black market in antiquities threatens to rob Turkey of its heritage. The Lycian, Roman and Byzantine Empires have all left their mark on Turkey’s red soil. Cobbled ruins and sandy excavations offer up statues, coins and ornate tombs from ages past. Such relics are seized upon by professional smugglers, shipped out the country and offloaded in Germany.

Synopsis: Inside a helicopter flying over Kruger park, South Africa, a man aims his gun at an elephant. As the great grey beast scurries away, he is hit and falls to the ground in a heap of leathery flesh. But the elephant has not been killed, only felled by an anaesthetising dart. Before long he is snoring in his sleep. In parts of Africa, where elephant overpopulation is a problem, game parks are running relocation Programmes. In the past, they solved the problem by culling the animals. Now, the policy is to drug the elephants, take blood samples, haul them onto a trailer and truck them off to another park. File footage of culled elephants lying in pools of foaming blood emphasises how relocation is considerably more humane. In their new home, the Marakeli Na...

Courtesy of a US-led re-arming, the Bosnia federation has more than 100 tanks and is allowed another 150 under the Dayton Accord. Wary of direct military entanglement, the US has privatised the defence of Bosnia through Military Professional Resources Inc. The American policy, via MPRI, is to build in Bosnia a strong, NATO-standard army: so strong that the Serbs dare not attack. Exercises, or war games, take place along the border - "We never play in Republika Srpska." Meanwhile NATO is confiscating weapons from the Serbs, who are unwilling to hand them over whilst the Bosnian Muslims are being rearmed. For almost fifty years, the equally-matched armies were pivotal in keeping the peace between NATO and Communist bloc forces in Northern Europe. But w...

We follow Sunday Southworth, former crack addict and sex worker, now an AIDS outreach worker, giving condoms and first aid to her old friends. While conservatives rejoice at the imposed limit of two years to find a job, many living in poverty say that Middle America has rejected them.

Some people in the USA are intent on subverting long-held gender norms and stereotypes. Some of Diane Tor's clients are lesbians, others have children and families. They all want to be men. A former strip-tease artist, today Diane is costume manager. She teaches them how to conceal their femininity, how to bind their breasts, and how to add a healthy measure of masculinity: a penis, in the form of tubular bandage. Some choose to dress as gangsters, others look more like Laurel and Hardy. Why do they get their kick out of aping men around the streets of NYC?

For centuries the deserts of northern Mali have sustained the Tuareg; herdsmen known as the 'blue people' of the Sahara. But, in the 1990s the combination of droughts and civil war forced most to abandon their herds and flee to refugee camps in Mauritania. Now Moussa Ag Mohammed is returning to his land; but the loss of his herds, and the remorseless advance of the desert, means his ancient lifestyle is doomed. Mohammet Ali, whose lineage can be traced back twelve hundred years, digs with pitiful tools to maintain an ever sinking well against the dusty backdrop of the desert plains. He refused to fight or flee during the war, sticking by his philosophy "If it is hot where you are, it's even hotter somewhere else". Orphaned Faty and her brother tend their...

Yet the situation is slowly changing; more women than ever are serving in SDF, a fact exploited by recruiters; more soldiers, despite the limitations put on Japanese soldiers, are serving abroad with the UN; and the SDF's reputation is at an all time high following their assistance in the Kobe Earthquake fallout. ABC Australia profiles the force, asking how much Japanese attitudes towards the idea of military have really changed.
