This documentary, part of the Investigative Reports series from A&E, offers a close look inside the world of border patrol agents. Narrated by Investigative Reports host and producer Bill Kurtis, this video uses hidden-camera footage of actual drug busts and the capture of illegal immigrants trying to slip into the United States. These agents guard over 8,000 miles of border, but their work force is inadequate and some areas have limited protection. They are often overlooked for their part in preventing drug trafficking or illegal aliens from crossing the border. Interviews with former attorney general Janet Reno and border patrol officers from the past and present show how important these agents are to America.

The Cold War turned hot in the middle of the 20th Century. In 1950 the North Korean army launched an invasion on their countrymen in the South; signaling the beginning of the Korean War. The Soviet Union would support North Korea's Stalinist regime, while the US and its allies rallied behind the South, in an attempt to hold off the Red Threat. Millions of civilians would be killed or injured during the conflict, and cities would be destroyed. The war would reinforce the separation between communism and capitalism ideologies, and Korea, formally united, would remain divided for generations to come.

It’s probably the world’s most secretive country. We take a peak inside, seeing the secrecy and propaganda surrounding a country that is famous not only for the awful living conditions of its citizens, but also for challenging the world with its nuclear programme. We visit North Korea under the vigilant eye of the authorities, which accompany the team on a route visiting the symbolic sites of the world’s last real socialist regime. Half a century after the Korean War, two decades after the end of the Cold War and with the recent memory of the great famine, the North exalts ideological purity and preaches the dream of reunification with the South. Meanwhile, as South Korean companies take advantage of the investment opportunities offered by Pyongyang, North and South Koreans alike share the 'big dream'.
