Fat Houses - Nigeria
July 2002We investigate a very different perception of beauty in Nigeria, host to the Miss World pageant in November 2002. Girls in the region of Calabar have to be fattened up, so as to find good husbands. Although the practice is both frowned on and illegal, there is no shortage of takers.

Rwanda Revisited
April 1996A historic report on how Tutsis are rebuilding their lives after the genocide.In Kigali Tutsis are building a new business community. Once they were aristocrats, then they were exiles, now they are entrepreneurs. Aimable Rumongi, an exile from Nairobi, has arrived in Rwanda for the first time. He shows off his gleaming new sports shop. In a refugee camp on the northern border, amongst endless rows of dirty, blue tents, Jonas Twagirayesu also plans to return home. He and his family fold up their canvas shelter and anxiously climb into the UN trucks. In a dark suit, Major-General Paul Kagame, vice president of Rwanda, maintains that the Hutu refugees are safe to return. He denies an allegation made by the former Minister of the Interior that revenge killings continue to take Place. Back in his home village, Jonas finds that that the roof on his house has sunk to the floor. His fields are overgrown and tangled with weeds. While Aimable and his friends talk of commercial co-operation between the Tutsis and the Hutus, Jonas has more immediate problems. He hopes next month that his banana plants will be free from the weeds.

Ghosts of Rwanda
A history of the Rwandan genocide in which the Hutu Racial extremists the Interahamwe systematically slaughtered the Tutsi people and non-racist Hutu's. Told through documentary evidence and interviews with every major figure involved.A gruesome, grotesque and deeply powerful documentary which tells of the horrors of the events and of the reaction to mass murder by each major Western government. To turn away, to not care or to pull support from them. On a personal note I have taken the time to do this as no documentary has meant more to me than this and as Darfur rages on its message has never been more important.For information on Darfur may I recommend and urge you to read
