This extraordinary undercover report from China exposes the suffering of thousands of Chinese whose lives have been destroyed by nuclear testing. It presents exclusive evidence from inside China of spiraling levels of cancer and birth deformities among the population of Xinjiang province - part of the Great Silk Road - which was opened to tourists in 1985. Up until 1996, China had carried out extensive nuclear tests in the Zinjiang province, which is in the northwest corner of China, bordering Kazakhstan. But Xinjiang is not unpopulated and isolated, as was Bikini Atoll. The filmmakers interviewed both victims and the doctors who are struggling to cope with their medical problems in the region's hospitals. The documentary reveals that the tests were carried out under highly dangerous conditions, which could have consequences beyond China's borders. High School Adult

Sewage. Not your most popular topic, but certainly an important one; especially since it's created every day, not just by individuals in homes and apartments, but also by institutions, hospitals and commercial and industrial establishments. Fortunately, sewage treatment, or domestic waste water treatment, is a modern-age triumph of technology, and people can take heart that a marriage between nature and modern sewage treatment technology has taken place. In this informative program we learn of the stages involved in sewage treatment, as well as the physical, chemical and biological processes required for removing contaminants from waste water.

Over three years ago, Versova beach in Mumbai was little more than a dumping ground for garbage and waste. After witnessing the devastating impact the refuse was having on the ocean, Afroz Shah decided to take matters into his own hands. What started off as a single man’s mission to clean up his favorite childhood beach turned into the world’s largest beach cleanup initiative. As of today, Shah and hundreds of volunteers have cleaned up over nine million kilograms of plastic and waste, with hopes to expand their initiative to other beaches in the future. This Great Big Story was made possible by Wells Fargo.
