BOSNIA'S WAR BABIES

BBC World Service

Radovan Karadzic is on trial in the Hague, indicted for war crimes during the Bosnian conflict of the ‘90s. These crimes included the army’s systematic rape of 20,000 women and children, which continues to have repercussions in the form of stigma, poverty, sickness, shame, and - for those women who bore children AND kept them - the added burden of teenagers asking difficult questions about their identity.

OPUS DEI & THE DA VINCI CODE

1x60'
Channel 4
Dec 2005

The Da Vinci Code, portrays Opus Dei unfavourably as a murderous underground society involved in a tantalising conspiracy but until the publication of Dan Brown's international best seller little was known of the organisation at the heart of the gripping plot line.
Inside Opus Dei explores the facts behind the fiction. Is this really a secret and sinister reactionary cult or a progressive arm of the Catholic Church?
Exclusive Access CTVC has gained full and exclusive access to the inner world and workings of Opus Dei. For the first time on television, the reality behind the rumour and gossip fed by massive public interest and fascination worldwide is exposed. Crucially for the first time, Opus Dei has the opportunity to respond to critics and present its own side of the story.
Inside Opus Dei is a rigorous, illuminating and controversial journey into the heart of an organisation in the fierce spotlight of public interest and scrutiny.
Sustained and Increased International Interest The arrival of the much vaunted feature film of The Da Vinci Code starring Tom Hanks and a major new book on Opus Dei by John Allen in September 2005 would indicate that media and public interest shows little sign of diminishing.
