The documentary describes the
activity of CNA volunteers, an
association operating in Benin
and other countries of the same
area, in support of childhood
through amusement. Among the
local emergencies, the focus is on
“Infant Trade”, “Schooling” and
“Infanticide”. Natalie, CNA
responsible, tells us the story
together with other protagonists
of the fight, each one with his
own experiences: missionaries,
NGO operators, doctors, formerMinisters and candidates to Benin
Senate. The documentary has the
positive and propositional tone
of Benin children’s eyes.
Pinuccio's life dream is to
become a gravedigger in the
Cemetery of Bitonto, his native
town. Finally he gets to work in
the nearby town cemetery,
Mariotto, for a limited period of
time. During the summer there
are no funerals, no deaths, no
burials, so while the people living
in Mariotto are extremely happy
about him, the local funeral
industry on the contrary is
against Pinuccio, even the flower
vendor outside the cemetery.
Pinuccio waits on the gate of
"his" cemetery for his first burial.
The temporary worker Pinuccio
Lovero and all the people that
participate actively to his life,
offer the opportunity of a journey
in the deep South of Italy, just a
step away from its natural
extintion.
December 6th, 2007, at dawn. A
fire breaks out at the line 5 of the
ThyssenKrupp Acciai Speciali
Terni plant in Turin. It's hell on
earth: seven steelworkers out of
eight will burn to death. One
worker is killed during the blaze,
while six other will die
subsequently in hospital from
serious burns. Paradoxically, the
massive media coverage of the
disaster gave the victims a
privileged position in the tragic
frame of the work related
deaths...
Rai reporter Lilli Gruber covers
the second Iraq war live, from the
period of waiting for the
American attack to the fall of
Saddam Hussein's regime, with
previously unseen footage of
civilian deaths, looting and the
enthusiastic crowds that greeted
the American when they entered
Baghdad, but also the
interrogation of young American
soldiers in front of cameras of Al
Jazeera, the bomb attacks at the
Baghdad market, the deaths of
two reporters caused by
American forces firing on the
Hotel Palestine and the
destruction of the Museum of
Archaeology in the Iraqi capital.

The mayor of Rome, the Hebraic
Community of Rome, in
collaboration with the
Associazione Nazionale ex
Deportati (ANED) organized also
in 2006 a journey/study to the
death camp Auschwitz/Birkenau
for about 250 students from the
Roman schools.
The purpose of this trip is to
inform the students about the
largest and most brutal of all
death camps where the Nazi tried
to conclude the extermination of
mainly the European Hebrews.
The documentary AUSCHWITZ
2006 is the record of this journey
through the past and the present.
Throughout Italy the privatization
of water supplies is raising utility
bills and causing protests to
break out. Citizens committees
have been formed, and in some
cases they are protesting by
paying less than the rates
charged. The special report takes
a look at the privatization and
distribution if the water we drink,
as well as the ways in which this
resource is wasted, plus the
guarantees of its quality and
purity.
In 2007, for the first time in the
history of humanity, the number
of the earth's urban inhabitants
exceeded its rural population.
Megalopolis presents six
documentaries that focus an
equal number of sprawling cities
- Los Angeles, San Paolo, Cairo,
Shenzhen, Karachi and Tokyo examining both the visible and
the invisible cities while taking an
in-depth look, against the
backdrop of day-to-day life, at
the conflicts and passions of a
futuristic scenario which has
already come to pass.
More than half a million
Romanians, Italy’s largest
community of foreign
immigrants, serve as the
babysitters, guardians of the
elderly, temporary farm workers
and construction labourers who
keep the Italian economy going.
But an increasing number also
engage in violent crime. The
murder of Gianna Reggiani set off
a public uproar that had been
building up for some time. TG2
Dossier examines the different
aspects of what has become a
full-fledged Romanian Syndrome
in Italy.

Poor and backward, suffering
from all the devastating
consequences of the Ceausescu
Regime, was Romania ready to
enter the European Union? TG 2
Dossier visits the country’s
prisons, the outskirts of its cities
and the villages where so many
gipsies hail from, looking for the
reasons why the wave of
Romanian immigration to Italy
has brought with it so much
crime and violence, along with
hardworking people who want
nothing more than to live among
us in peace.
Sudan has long been an
impoverished giant asleep along
the banks of the upper Nile. But
the discovery of immense oil
reserves beneath the desert has
brought China to its aid, with a
series of projects designed to
jump-start development,
including an enormous dam that
will flood dozens of villages and
archaeological sites. TG2 Dossier
examines the dilemma of
modern-day Africa, caught
between the need for growth
and the risk of losing its cultural
traditions and damaging the
environment.
The Italy easy money, women
and luxury cars, the paradise that
encourages so many immigrants
to go to desperate lengths to
arrive here, is put in perspective
by those same immigrants, who,
having spent their time in the
country, tell of what Italy and the
Italians are really like. Their
tragicomic tales paint Italians as
people that can be kind and
understanding or aggressive and
irrational, with the one constant
being the fact that, when they
consider their foreign guests,
they feel unquestionably
superior.
Turkish writer Nedim Gursel
presents Istanbul, a modern,
virtually western metropolis
whose future holds the promise
of strong economic and
demographic growth. A hub of
migration, Istanbul serves as both
a metaphorical and physical
bridge between Europe and Asia,
linking a variety of different
cultures and ways of life. The
documentary ponders what will
happen when predominantly
muslim Turkey enters the catholic
European Union and how the
country’s ties with the Middle
East will change.

The new slavery of this Century
can be named immigration of
those Sans Papier. A voyage in
the banlieus.
Writer Predrag Matvejevic takes
us on a secular pilgrimage
through his brutally divided land.
He offers his childhood
recollections of the old Mostar
bridge, destroyed and then
reconstructed, visits Sarajevo, the
city hardest hit in the last war,
and reaches Zagreb, the Croatian
city he was forced to leave after
receiving ugly threats. In the “Age
of Afterwards”, everything has
already happened, and the new
world that should come forth
from the ruins is still nothing
more than a ìformer placeî.
Moroccan writer Tahar Ben
Jelloun, a former immigrant
himself, guides us along the
routes and sentiments followed
by the thousands of North
Africans who leave their cities
and villages every year and head
for Europe. Starting from their
hometowns, he describes their
living conditions, dreams and
expectations, together with the
distinctive features of their
identities, their religion and
culture, providing an in-depth
portrait of the world they will
leave either temporarily or
forever.
Disguised as a science-fiction novel
whose realism borders on the
fantastical, this documentary tells
the story of a fight against illness,
ageing and death, carried out
without any regard for the
attendant danger or current morals.
The construction of a superior
civilization by any possible means
makes the dream of immortality
appear to be an increasingly real
and reachable goal.

A series of 5 documentaries
examines the Indian
subcontinent, which, together
with China, is shifting the world's
geo-economic centre of gravity
towards the Far East. Home to 1
billion, 100 million inhabitants,
300 million of them below the
poverty line, India's GNP grows at
a rate of 6%, second only to
China, thanks in large part to its
surprising number of university
graduates in scientific disciplines.
But Indian technology exists
alongside a system of deeprooted cast discrimination that
sparks violence and social
conflict.
Seven-time world champion
motorcycle racer Valentino Rossi
admits that he is unable to stay
still, though his dream for later
on in life is to “Stay home and cut
the grass”. Friends and admirers
take turns describing him,
including two writers and a
famous comic-strip author who
uses Valentino as one of his
heroes. Valentino’s father says he
might wind up racing on four
wheels, with Ferrari on the Grand
Prix circuit, but only if he feels he
can keep winning the way he
now does on two.
"Once upon the time, people
were scared only to utter that

Nowadays, we teach our own

The woman speaking is Rita
Borsellino. She's addressing an
audience of children at the Rivoli
elementary school, near Turin.
The sister of the judge killed 12
years ago, on July 19th 1992,
during the bloody terroristic
attack of Via D'Amelio in Palermo,
answers the children's direct
questions and leads her young
audience back into the memories
of those days. “Mafia, more than

carried out by Roberto Olla for

The City of death, as now the

An inquiry about the historical
and social conditions that have
progressively changed the aspect
of the United Arab Emirates and
Dubai in particular. In many
occasions, on his arrival from
Afghanistan or Iraq, war
correspondent of RAI Duilio
Giammaria has often landed in
Dubai and seized the opportunity
to make comparisons between
the arab moslim society of these
countries, ravaged by violence
and underdevelopment, and the
expanding economy and social
welfare that has distinguished
the Gulf countries in the last few
years.
For most of us, Malaysia is a
fantastical land of pirates, tiger
hunts and precious pearls, but,
apart from its unspoiled beaches
and untamed forests, what is the
country really like? A world leader
in the export of semiconductors
and electronic components: that
is one way to describe today's
Malaysia, thanks to the dramatic
changes brought about in the
space of a single generation by
leader Mahatir Mohammad, who
has transformed a primarily
agricultural nation into an
economic power able to compete
with the other "Asian Tigers".
The red dragon is threatening the
Italian textile sector. China is an
immense market with some
peculiarities that make it a
difficult competitor. What some
see as a business opportunity,
others perceive as a threat. What
is certain is that the volume of
Chinese production has the
power to destabilize the markets
that it enters. Who is loosing and
who is winning in the global
economy? From a small factory in
Northern Italy to the incredible
performances of the Zhejiang
factory, all the success and
defeats, the new rich and the
new poor, commercial challenge
and the everyday life of the
workers and businessmen in both
countries.
Aidana is four years old. She was
born with two heads, and not for
a wicked hoax of destiny, but
because she was born in the
most radioactive spot of the
planet: Semipalatinsk, in
Kazakhstan. For fifty years, until
1991, this area was the main
atomic site of the Soviet Union
and one of the gloomiest
chapters in the whole history of
the Cold War. All nuclear and
thermonuclear bombs launched
in this little Asian region were by
2.800 times more powerful than
those of Hiroshima.
Epidemiological data are
nevertheless undeniable: 70.000
people died and more than
300.000 are sick as a
consequence of radiations.

Piero Terracina owes much to
nurse Lida Grenswald. One of the
last survivors of Auschwitz, he
was 17 when he was freed and
left in a hospital with no hope.
The 16 of October 1943 all began
in Rome, and this is the story.
This Special follows several other
TV reports shot in Iraq by TG 1
special envoys. "War journals from Erbil to Baghdad" is the
story of the war on the Northern
Iraqi front, with lots of witnesses
and dramatic pictures shot
following the moves of the
Peshmerga, the Curd guerrillas,
while they try to get near to the
big oil towns of Mosul and Kirkuk.
This journal covers two months of
battles between the Curds and
the lraqis, before the AmerÌcan
Ìnvolvement; in the meantime, a
long series of scaring events and
tragic mistakes take place. In fact,
the TG1 crew was involved in a
battle right on the first fine and,
on April 6, an American plane
opened fire on a convoy loaded
with Peshmerga and journalists.
Blue Highways is a four
documentary film series based on
the same title novel by the
American Indian writer William
Least Heat-Moon. Blue Highways
is a road trip through the
American province along its back
roads, which were marked with
the colour blue on the old
highway maps from the 50's. To
say it with Heat-Moon's words,
this is a "space where man can
get lost". Today, driving along the
old back roads it's possible to
reach America's true heart. Blue
Highways is the expression of a
profound relationship between
man and landscape, resembling a
eulogy of slowness in the frantic
era of globalization.
The Wealthiest and most
advanced country in the world is
primal and wild at heart.
Thanks to unbelievable genetic
engineering achievements, now
men have the chance to put their
hands on life. New discoveries
open us an inconceivable future,
while scientific research is in the
hands of some major private
companies, which aim at
obtaining marketable products in
a short period. Rosanna is a
catholic woman from Southern
Italy. Her first son died of a rare
hereditary disease. Genetics is
now part of eveyday life. "Hands
on Life" leads us once more to
the human factor: man, culture
and values.

"No risk! No champagne!" tells the
stories of young women who leave
or dream of leaving the Ukraine in
search of a better future in the West.
Some look for a husband, some are
ready to try absolutely anything,
because, as an old Russian proverb
says, "Who takes no risks, drinks no
champagne". But the dream of the
West turns into a nightmare. "No
risk! No champagne!" follows some
women on their travels and others
on their return home marked by
their terrible experiences. Their
touching stories reveal something
significant about the West, where
civil rights were born on the value of
the individual as a unique person
but where now Trade is the idol.
All charges against Onel de

Vincenzo Nardiello is one of the

looking to fight their way out of

It is a fantastic voyage in outer
space, full of adventures and
thrills, with Piero Angela
presenting the programme and
talking from the studio with his
own more adventurous and

presenter's “alter ego” is a sort of
