For 60 years, in the midst of the hostile South Burman jungle, the Karen people have fought a desperate war for survival.

Since the Burmese capital was moved south from Rangoon, the military junta has targeted them for eradication. This is the powerful & haunting story of a secret genocide.

Galileo

Galileo is Europe�s ambitious satellite navigation project, designed to rival the American GPS, and invigorate European transport and communications infrastructure. It started as an exciting, forward-looking scheme but before long descended into farce - the product of clever American diplomatic manoeuvring and destructive inter-European wrangling. From conspiracy theories to question marks over the future of the EU as a viable body, Galileo is a yarn worthy of its controversial namesake.

Seven Days to Remember

Forty years ago, on 20th August 1968, Soviet tanks rolled into Prague to crush the rebellious Prague Spring. This evocative documentary captures the historic events of those heady days with an overpowering immediacy. The Soviet advance met with fierce, idealistic resistance. We join the hundreds of students as they man barricades constructed from overturned lorries to try to halt the advance. Sparsely armed, they fight fiercely, driven by a belief in their new and better socialism. But the deadening, inevitable weight of Soviet might soon stamps its boot across this hopeful Czech vision. Over 100 people died in the reprisals which followed, and tens of thousands fled their homes for the West.
This is the definitive story of the heady days before Soviet �normalisation� took hold. Filmmaker Jan Nemec assembled the film from his own material and other footage smuggled out of Prague. What began as an account of the liberation of a people, became a documentary of oppression; as the tanks moved in, the cameras simply continued rolling.

Bolivian Voices

This film examines the mass base at the heart of Evo Morales� Bolivia. The desperation of years of exploitative labour erupted in the turbulent 1990s, which culminated in the overturning the right-wing South American status quo and the election of Evo Morales, Bolivia�s first indigenous President. But for many, the euphoria of Morales� election was only a starting point; he still has much to prove.
