S2.E20 ∙ Mao Against Everyone - China at War and Civil War - January 18, 1941

In the 1960s just before being adopted from a Korean orphanage by an American family, my identity was switched with another girl named Cha Jung Hee. I was told to keep the switch a secret, then sent to America. In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee is a personal essay that chronicles my journey to find my double, while exploring the ethical and social dimensions of international transracial adoption. The film is a poignant reflection on memory, identity and what it means to walk in someone else's shoes.

EMMY AWARD winning filmmaker Michael King's new film WHEN WAR COMES HOME follows the lives of 3 veterans and their families as they make their way to a 'new normal,' after war. Struggling with PTSD, the film follows them in their day-to-day lives, capturing many of the challenges that all veterans who have been through war face. Three Iraq/Afghanistan War Veterans return home to discover their Post-Traumatic Stress affects not only their own lives, but the lives of their wives, children and friends. Witnessing these powerful stories and many others, retired Four Star U.S. Army General Peter Chiarelli leads the search for better treatment for these invisible wounds of war.

Forget about nuclear missiles, the decisive weapon of the twentieth century is the car bomb. After Iraq we now know you can defeat a Superpower, start a civil war or just blow up your own Government with a trunk load of home-made explosives and a battered old car. From the Middle East, Oklahoma, Ireland and the streets of the City of London the car bomb has shaped human conflict. Even today the car bomb remains the number one terrorist threat across the world. In this film, ex-CIA agent Robert Baer uncovers the history of this extraordinary weapon. With footage of car bomb attacks and interviews with car bombers, Baer reveals how the century of the car turned into the century of the car bomb. And how a dream of freedom turned nightmare.

An evocation of the God of war introduces the film. A framework ties together and abstracts seven portraits of Liberian warriors from their context. Their voices present war as an ineluctable human expression of destructive forces that are, at the same time, universal and individual, real and archetypical.

Trench Town, Jamaica, is the most famous ghetto in the World. Immortalised by Bob Marley it is now one of the most dangerous places on the planet. This film examines how the people survive in such extreme circumstances. It is a moving testimony to the silent majority of people who live there.

We travel back in time to Tokyo's past, captured in monochrome films, but when we meet everyday people living in that age, we begin to see them in color.
