In 1885 the British army invaded Burma and deposed its King. He died in exile, ending a thousand years of monarchy. The royal family vanished, and the country was plunged into war and the longest military dictatorship of modern times. But after a century of silence they are back, and they’re on a journey to bring the family - past and present - back together. Filmed through three years of seismic change in Burma, this is the story of a family and a country emerging from the darkness.

Every year, millions of Americans are incarcerated before even being convicted of a crime - all because they can't afford to post bail. How did we get here? “Trapped: Cash Bail in America” shines a light on our deeply flawed criminal justice system and the activists working to reform it. This new documentary explores the growing movement to end the inherent economic and racial inequalities of cash bail while highlighting victims impacted by an unjust system, the tireless campaigners fighting for criminal justice reform, and a bail industry lobbying to maintain the status quo.

Emmy-award winning documentary SPLIT ESTATE investigates the oil and natural gas drilling boom in the Rocky Mountain West and the Northeast (an area representing thirty-two states in all). Imagine discovering that you don't own the mineral rights under your land and that an energy company plans to drill for natural gas two hundred feet from your front door. Imagine you have little or no recourse to protect your home or land from such development. SPLIT ESTATE maps a tragedy in the making as citizens in the path of a new drilling boom struggle against the erosion of their civil liberties, their communities and their health.

Follow the dramatic and emotional stories of a group of pregnant inmates at the Indiana Women's Prison, in the US, which runs a unique scheme allowing some prisoners to keep their children on the ‘baby wing’. With a 400 per cent increase in the number of incarcerated women in the US in the last 30 years, thousands of babies are born in American prisons every year, meaning competition for places on Indiana’s baby wing is fierce. Many prison mothers have their babies taken away from them 24 hours after giving birth, but a few lucky ones are permitted to keep their babies in the Indiana facility’s unique prison nursery. Featuring births, babies and often intensely emotional scenes, this series uses powerful personal stories to pose questions about how the American criminal justice system deals with women and children and how the bond between mother and child survives the harsh realities of life behind bars.

Guantánamo Bay, and then what? After 13 years, a 38-year-old Palestinian named Muhammad is released from the notorious detention camp, where he was starved, tortured and humiliated. He gets the chance to start a new life in Uruguay, where he’ll get a home and welfare money. He has two years, then he’ll be on his own. We follow Muhammad, a calm and very devout man, as he goes about his daily life, starting with his arrival in his new homeland and continuing until the end of the two years. He studies Spanish, learns to drive, prays, takes courses, calls his mother, and together with his Uruguayan wife looks for clothes for the baby they’re expecting. He’s resigned as he grapples with the local bureaucracy, but his eyes speak volumes. At well-timed moments, we hear him talking in voice-over about his traumatic experiences in Guantánamo. Most of all, we see him looking for work, but who will take him on? Freedom Is a Big Word shows how goodwill can descend into a sense of impotence in this confrontation with reality.
