Meet Ms Rebiya Kadeer, a human rights activist twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. She is the impassioned though graying exiled leader of the Uyghurs, a Muslim people whose ancestral home, East Turkestan, was annexed by the Chinese in 1949 and re-named Xinxiang province. Since then the Chinese have dominated politically, culturally and economically, much as they have done in Tibet. Ms Kadeer was fiercely nationalistic since her youth. Married off at an early age and bearing six children in close succession, she was divorced by her husband for her activism. Penniless, she rose through her wits and industry to become one of the wealthiest people in China, after Deng ushered in an era of capitalism. Remaining politically active, she paid the price. Several of her sons languish in Chinese prisons while she and her second husband, in exile, keep alive the protest movement from abroad. Using archival footage, the film traces the violent conflict between Chinese and Uyghurs. She is the tireless head of the Uyghur American Association, based in Washington DC, where she lobbies Congress to press for human rights in China. College Adult

Report about the misused and mismanaged Bishop trust of Hawaii, the largest private trust in the nation. Established to benefit the children of Hawaiian heritage, it was becoming a player in global land transfers. The trustees were becoming quite powerful and the school the trust was to be supporting was getting the least. A very 'hot potato' in Hawaiian politics.

An interview with soon-to-be head of the European Central Bank Christine Lagarde about the dangers facing the global economy. With the global economy at risk of recession, Lagarde, who led the International Monetary Fund, gives a candid interview covering a range of issues from Brexit to the threat of nationalism. The first woman to head the ECB, Lagarde is unhappy with only two percent of bank presidents being female and suggests a clear correlation between good management and the number of women on executive boards. While she names Trump as a challenge to the global economy, she maintains international trade is the key to cohesive foreign relations and urges policy makers to make a shift towards transparency.
