US announce deal to lift debt limit To see more go to www.youtube.com Follow us on Facebook (goo.gl or Twitter (www.twitter.com With the US raising their debt ceiling, are we in a global bail-out bubble that will eventually burst? This doc offers a fresh insight into the greatest economic crisis of our age: the one still awaiting us. The financial storm that has rocked the world began brewing in the US when congress pushed the idea of home ownership for all, propping up those who couldn't make the down payments. When it all went wrong the government promised the biggest financial stimulus packages in history and gargantuan bailouts. But what crazed logic is that: propping up debt with more debt? "They're giving alcohol to a drunk: it just sets him up for a bigger hangover." July 2010

The Amazon Of Asia - Laos


October 2010 The Mekong River is already being put to serious economic use by the Chinese, and now the Lao people are determined to do the same. But can it really pull the nation out of poverty, and at what cost? Until recently the 'Amazon of Asia', was one of the world's last untouched rivers, but plans for a series of 55 dams in Laos look set to change that. With the majority of the population of Laos living below the poverty line, the government claims that hydropower is the quickest way to raise living standards, anticipating revenue of $80 million a year. Yet as scores of villages are uprooted to make way for the development, traditional subsistence communities are struggling. "We used to rely on nature for our living. Now if we don't buy, we can't eat", complains villager Cham Pha. The new dams also pose a threat to the ecosystem, endangering several species. Weighing up potential development and damage, the Lao people face a tough dilemma: "I'm worried about the environment but I want our village to have electricity".

Despair - Ireland


December 2010 One in ten families in Ireland are no longer able to pay off their mortgages. Even with an EU bailout on the cards, the Irish people are still feeling the brunt of the property boom that went bust. As the Prime Minister addressed Ireland stating that their banks were empty, protestors gathered calling for a change in Government, "They're very angry that the eyes of the international world are focused on our country at the moment for all the wrong reasons". With indications that the EU bailout will not help families, and coming at a cost of $7billion interest a year, one man says, "Now, we're a nation of beggars".

Diamonds are Forever - Africa


For many African countries the discovery of diamonds has turned into a curse, with 'blood' or 'conflict diamonds' fuelling exploitation, subversion and division. But in Botswana, it's a different story. The diamond has transformed Botswana from one of the poorest countries in the world, to one of the most prosperous and stable countries in Africa. An inspiring initiative has seen Botswana's vast diamond reserves, worth about three billion US dollars a year, being used to share wealth throughout the nation. Trade Consultant Ntetleng Masisi says "they used diamonds to bring about health facilities, education and a markedly improved quality of life," Masisi says that the partnership is a necessity, "The earnings from our exports of diamonds have really done a lot for us." But Botswana's reliance on diamond revenue means that the whole of the country's future is now in the hands of the diamond dealers... Produced by SBS Distributed by Journeyman Pictures

Beyond Borat - Kazakhstan


Nazarbayev re-elected in landslide victory To see more go to www.youtube.com Follow us on Facebook (goo.gl or Twitter (www.twitter.com Sacha Baron Cohen's alter ego 'Borat' was a Hollywood hit. But his portrayal of Kazakhstan as a backward and impoverished country has led the Kazakhs to fight against this damaging misconception. Kazakh film director, Rakishev, who made a film in response to Borat, states, "It's easy to cross the line between a joke and an insult". Over the past twenty years Kazakhstan has slowly risen to become a prosperous nation. President Nazarbayev has aimed to 'modernise' the oil rich country, even building a city from scratch. With cutting edge architecture and glittering shopping malls, his people argue, "he is promoting the Kazakh people to a bright future". Whether his presidency has been democratic or not, many Kazakhis feel he has helped the country progress. Yet a closer look shows a country still hosting profound problems. As the controversial President is sworn back in, can the progress continue? A Film By ABC Australia Distributed By Journeyman Pictures April 2011

Inside Pinochet's Prisons - 30 min documentary


See film here: vod.journeyman.tv In September 1973 Augusto Pinochet, backed by America, overthrew Chile's Marxist but democratically elected government. Under his direct orders the Chilean secret police erected vast prison camps to detain left wing sympathisers. No-one was safe - doctors, lawyers, trade unionists and Communists were all rounded up in the night. Held without trial in Pinochet's prisons they were brutally tortured and many executed; an attempt by Pinochet to stamp his ideological mark on the consciousness of a nation. Dressed in his pristine white military jacket Pinochet chillingly told the camera, "Marxism is like a ghost, it's very difficult to catch - even impossible to trap."
