Episode 1 • Aug 25, 2010
Colours
Food-fascinated journalist Stefan Gates starts his examination of the elusive E-numbers with the 100-series, containing coloring food-additives. They illustrate that regulating with standardized EU-norms reduces risks, which are more complicated then say natural versus artificial. experiments show how extraordinary the psychological impact of color is, well beyond our awareness.
Episode 2 • Sep 01, 2010
Preservatives
Stefan concentrates on the 38 preservatives among the E-numbers, one or more of which used in most foods given the extreme modern demands of 'freshness'. First an experiment with pork, well half pigs, shows the impressive effect of table salt. Then he elaborates on how and why others chemical salts are used, although some are very toxic unless carefully dosed, and the need for them, recalling the historical nightmare scurvy.

Baletnyy sindrom

Baletnyy sindrom

Documentary drama about the backstage of Russian ballet. It is no secret for the creative community that ballet dancers more often than others face harassment and blackmail from teachers and theater managers. Despite this, all active dancers claim that theaters and ballet schools are "monasteries with their own charter," which the artist is obliged to accept, and for years they have tolerated the clause about sexual obedience to masters and mentors included in this charter. For what reason are ballet dancers silent about the dark side of the profession and what is their silence really hiding?
