Haridwar is one of the seven most important sites in the world for devout Hindus. Here the River Ganges enters the plains of India.

President Mugabe wanted to take back 1/3 of all Zimbabwe’s productive farmland from white farmers and give it to the country’s peasants. In 1998, a mere 4,500 wealthy whites owned a staggering 50% of Zimbabwe, and Mugabe says they had until August that year to give that land back.
As Europe sat down with African leaders in Cairo in March 1998, Zimbabwe's colonial hangover will be taking centre stage. Land was an issue throughout Zimbabwe’s rocky transition to independence. But when it came, Mugabe was generous to the whites - allowing them to stay on. Indeed it was his anti-racism policies that won him favour. Now many feel he is trying to divert criticism...

At first light every morning Buddhist monks receive the offerings of food from their faithful followers. It's a daily reminder that Buddhism is about foregoing attachment to material possessions. But in the consumer age more and more Thais now want instant Nirvana, and a reassurance that greed is good. And today a new Buddhist cult led by the Abbot of Wat Dhammakaya, is giving it to them. It claims a million followers, assets of $1.4 billion and has just built a new temple embellished with a million bronze Buddha statues.

In the Council-run workshop, mountains of surrendered rusty rifles are sawn up and transformed into sculptures: “a chair for politicians” constructed of welded rifles, and a figure of triggers. In return for their weapons people are given spades, bikes and sewing machines gathered from overseas. So far the project has taken 75,000 guns out of circulation. Each trade is encouraging more people to disarm themselves. “The community knows that if you give the gun to the organisation there’s something useful you are getting.” Francisco is one such man.

In 2019, New York state governor Andrew Cuomo ended religious exemption to vaccination after a widespread measles outbreak. ‘The more I read about these vaccinations, the more I know it is not right in the eyes of God’, says one Amish man, whose children were banned from taking the school bus after refusing vaccination. ‘We are being told that the state feels they have a right in our churches and schools. It scares us’, says another.

These were not atrocities, the argument runs, but excesses—what hard men do to restore order and economic success in a harsh environment.

Synopsis: 50 years after the war, Japan's military still carries its ruthless reputation that spelled disaster in WWII, and many are still sceptical towards their existence. 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.

The people who live here on the Yellow Earth Plateau face a desolate wasteland. Little rain has fallen for years and each family has to make do with one and a half buckets of water a day. They keep their wells locked. Overpopulation and a parched climate has forged deep cracks in the only arable land available. Life revolves around the Yellow River which takes its name from the 500 million tons of yellow dust blown into it every year. It cuts a green, iridescent arc across the barren plains. The encroaching desert, however, has prompted the Chinese government to re-settle nearly one million people. Ironically they move from old desert homes to new desert homes.

Property is handed down from mother to daughter. In their language there is not even a word for 'father' and conventional marriage is unheard of. In the past the Chinese government tried to stamp out the Mosuo way of life but their culture is now flourishing again. The simple reason is tourism. The Mosuo live beside a beautiful lake, already a popular destination for Chinese tourists. But whether the culture survives remains to be seen - new-found prosperity and contact with outsiders has brought with it a clamour for a change for the Mosuo.

- Pygmies and Gorillas at War (2007) - Iconic species are not the only remnants of Ugandan heritage threatened with extinction. The forests hold one of the last populations of mountain gorillas, but are also the home of 6000 pygmies. New foreign-funded legislation is evicting the pygmies from the forest in favour of gorilla conservation, but the people of this unique culture are reluctant to lose their heritage.
Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures#
In Uganda, six thousand pygmies are being paid to leave behind their homes in the rainforest. This is because the area has been designated a national park, to protect one of the last remaining populations of mountain gorillas that live within its borders. However, there are concerns that this prioritisation (driven by the tourist industry) may drive the pygmy culture to extinction instead.

Srinigar, the Kashmiri capital, had just experienced one of the bloodiest weeks in almost four years of war. Evidence suggested that India's forces were out of control, killing indiscriminately.

"They molested women after entering our houses. The soldiers, Indian army soldiers." Many other accounts corroborate this eyewitness's testament. As India's army has become more violent, so resistance in the form of militant support has grown. The Hizbul Mujahideen, or Holy Warriors of the Party of God, is one such group. They trained in the Pakistani side of Kashmir, possessing strong fundamentalist beliefs that Kashmir belongs to Pakistan. "We can say this is war. We treat this as Jihad. Holy war."
