A profile of Nayib Bukele, El Salvador’s new president. In the last 40 years, one in five Salvadorans has moved to the United States, with half of them undocumented. In the last year, more than 90,000 Salvadorans have been apprehended at the U.S. border. The 38-year old ‘millennial president’ campaigned in blue jeans in an effort to appear as an ‘outsider.’ After his election in June, Bukele’s main goal has been to rid El Salvador of violent gangs who control the country, which he feels will greatly boost the economy. Bukele says he will not negotiate with gangs, fearing it will give them legitimacy. He has cracked down on the gangs with his ‘territorial control plan,’ which Bukele credits for the steep drop in homicides. Bukele feels crime is the biggest barrier to restoring the economy. Bukele has been criticized for working with President Trump, an alliance he believes is crucial to restoring the country. El Salvador’s murder rate is the highest for any country not at war. Includes an interview with Pastor Nelson Moz, who offers sanctuary to reformed gang members.

A report on Brexit, with explanation of historical context and key figures. In June 2016, British voters decided to exit the European Union. This past Thursday, the deadline to leave passed without resolution. With no clear exit strategy, the government is in disarray and Prime Ministers have changed frequently. In 1973, Britain became part of the European Union, a single market with no borders, tariffs, or customs; yet, ambivalence towards continental Europe from the British is deep rooted. Boris Johnson, ending his tenure as Mayor of London, is at the forefront of the issue and maintains they will exit with or without a resolution. Many feel Speaker John Bercow has modernized his position by moving away from the more traditional role of neutral referee to consistently ruling against the ‘brexiteers.’ While many feel he is unjust, he argues otherwise. After ten years in office, Bercow resigned and though Johnson promised no further delays, the status of the U.K. remains undetermined. Includes interviews with John Bercow, former Speaker of Parliament; Paul Joy, a pro-Brexit fisherman; Matthew Perris, a Times of London columnist; Nigel Farage, the ‘godfather of Brexit’; and Gina Miller, a prominent London businesswoman who led legal challenges against the government.

A report on Russian interference in the 2016 American election. A cyber-attack on the Democratic Party and its candidates in 2016 resulted in the theft of millions of documents that were strategically dumped to influence the outcome of the presidential and congressional elections. While President Trump claims the attack was launched by Ukraine, the Mueller Report clearly explained how the attack came from Russia. After acquiring documents, Russian agents used an online persona, Guccifer 2.0, to leak those documents to Trump operative Roger Stone and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. The document theft was a well planned and executed military cyberattack, according to the Justice Department. The release of the documents was often targeted to specific swing areas such as contested congressional districts in Florida. Includes interviews with Robert Anderson, leader of the FBI’s Counterintelligence and Cyber Divisions; John Demers, the Assistant Attorney General for National Security Division; Kelly Ward Burton, former Executive Director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee; Annette Taddeo, a hacked politician; and Mark Caputo, a senior Politico reporter.

A report on President Trump’s phone call to President Zelensky of Ukraine regarding a Democratic National Committee server, which ultimately led to his impeachment. After the 2016 election and Russian hack of DNC servers, U.S. intelligence agencies found the Russian government aided in Trump’s win. When the DNC submitted a copy of the server data to the FBI, Trump attempted to discredit the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence’s findings. The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on Russian interference was approved unanimously. Trump continues to deny any Russian involvement in his victory; he has since referred to this as the "Russian Hoax." Includes interviews with Ambassador Bill Taylor, who led the U.S. embassy in Ukraine; Andrea Kendall-Taylor, former deputy national intelligence officer and CIA Russia analyst; Senator Mark Warner, Democrat vice-chairman; and Robert Johnson, investigator of the DNC hack for CrowdStrike.

A report on the questions surrounding the death of Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman, who died of a gunshot wound to the head the night before he was to present evidence that the country’s President, Cristina Kirchner, had secretly conspired with Iran to cover up Iran’s involvement in Argentina’s worst terrorist attack -- the 1994 suicide bombing of AMIA, a Buenos Aires Jewish community center. Some theories about Nisman’s death are: suicide; government aided murder; revenge murder by former Argentine government spy Jaime Stuisso; or murder by Nisman’s coworker, Diego Lagomarsino, who says he gave Nisman the gun for self-defense. Includes interviews with: Diego Lagomarsino, (through translator), Nisman’s coworker; Gustavo Perednik, author; and Hector Timerman, Argentine Foreign Minister. Also includes comments by Rodolfo Canicoba Corral, Argentine Judge.

Now Kim says that he has nuclear weapons - and that he's prepared to sell them to whoever will pay his price. George Bush put North Korea on the 'Axis of Evil' shortlist, but is Kim really plotting to destroy the planet or is the nickname 'Dr Evil' indicative of nothing more than a battle of words in the Cold War's last frontier? Correspondent charts Kim's progress from lazy student through terrorist mastermind to tough-talking nuclear brinksman.

Can music and dance be weapons of peace? In 2003, on the eve of the Iraq war, director Iara Lee embarked on a journey to better understand a world increasingly embroiled in conflict and, as she saw it, heading for self-destruction. After several years, traveling over five continents, Iara encountered growing numbers of people who committed their lives to promoting change. This is their story; from Iran, where graffiti and rap became tools in fighting government repression, to Burma, where monks acting in the tradition of Gandhi take on a dictatorship, moving on to Brazil, where musicians reach out to slum kids and transform guns into guitars, and ending in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, where photography, music, and film have given a voice to those rarely heard. Featuring Medellín poets for peace, Capoeira masters from Brazil, Niger Delta militants, Iranian graffiti artists, women’s movement leaders in Rwanda, Lebanon’s refugee filmmakers, U.S. political pranksters, indigenous Kayapó activists from the Xingu River, Israeli dissidents, hip-hop artists from Palestine, and many more, CULTURES OF RESISTANCE explores how art and creativity can be ammunition in the battle for peace and justice.
