HOW
PUTIN CAME TO POWER
In the Autumn of 1999, Putin was an unknown civil servant in charge
of Russia's FSB, the country's ill-loved intelligence agency. How
did it happen that he became Boris Yeltsin's heir as Russian president?
This is the story of the deal that put Vladimir Putin into the Kremlin.
The tiny group of officials and super-rich businessmen around Boris
Yeltsin and his children, known as "The Family" gave a
leg up to Putin in the understanding that he would protect them
from ambitious prosecutors who wanted to nail them for their corrupt
practices. The generals and spy chiefs who'd been humiliated in
Chechnya were aching for a war of revenge. Putin would let them
fight their war. It's a story that has little to do with democracy,
and a lot to do with the real exercise of raw power in modern Russia.

Brain
Drain
The departure of highly-skilled specialists for the rich industrial
nations of the northern hemisphere places a major burden on developing
countries world-wide. According to United Nations estimates, in
Africa the cost of training someone to degree level is about sixty
thousand euros. Another survey indicates that every year some 23,000
university graduates leave the African continent, frustrated by
unstable political circumstances, ethnic discrimination, or unsatisfactory
work and research conditions. New strategies will, it is hoped,
counteract the trend.

Profession
Refugee
Forget the stereotype of the refugee: The poor peasant with his
clothes in a bundle, leading his family down the road. This program
shows that an upheaval such as in Yugoslavia, Somalia, or Tibet
supplants people at all levels. We hear from the fashion designer,
the painter, the doctor, the sociologist, among others. In other
words, people just like you and me. Over archival footage of several
regional crises, our subjects share their intimate reflections on
being refugees, most of them having assimilated into Dutch culture
and society. We even hear from one of the most famous refugees in
the world: The Dalai Lama. Every after years in a new country, their
status as "refugee" so permeates their daily life that
it becomes almost a profession.

Water
Wars:
A child dies every eight
seconds from drinking polluted water. In recent years, disputes
over water have claimed an increasing number of lives. The fight
for water will be one of the major conflicts of the 21st century.
Examples from Uganda and India show the consequences of too little
water or water that is not clean, and first steps towards a resolution
of the crisis. The political dimension of water scarcity is evident
in the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians: even Israeli
human rights activists are beginning to complain that Palestinians
in the region are being discriminated against in the matter of water
provision.

Jerusalem
Syndrome
For Muslims, Jews and
Christians, Jerusalem is the Holy City - a central place to the
world's three leading faiths; and a magnet for foreign pilgrims?
But for some believers, visiting Jerusalem brings them a little
too close to God. Each year, dozens of visitors are diagnosed with
the psychotic disorder known as "Jerusalem Syndrome".
They believe they are the Messiah, other characters from the Bible,
or that God is speaking directly to them. All relatively harmless,
if somewhat disturbing. But authorities believe that potentially,
there's a more sinister aspect to Jerusalem Syndrome- the potentially
for exploitation by radical groups.

Invisible
World
The Invisible World picks up where our eyes leave off, exploring
details too small or fast for humans to grasp. Much of the film
focuses on microscopic events that, magnified thousands of times,
eerily replicate occurrences in the larger world. Dust mites lumber
through dry terrain like dinosaurs, and tiny fungi cling to a strand
of hair like toadstools on a tree trunk. The filmmakers also employ
an impressive array of techniques to portray the intangible aspects
(such as heat and energy) of the human-sized environment.
