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.

Description
Vietnam was the longest war in America’s history and the most divisive in more than a century. Decades later, U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia remains misunderstood, misinterpreted and misrepresented. This powerful program explores the genesis of America’s “quagmire” in the region—from the roots of Vietnamese nationalism and a century of French colonialism through the long and costly American war and beyond.

The western Pacific and Asia are vitally important parts of the world to the United States. Not only does this area contain a large percentage of all mankind and tremendous resources, but it is also a place where the Communists are making vigorous and ruthless aggression. Based upon the belief that most Americans do not know too much about the SEATO countries, cameras were sent into Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Thailand and the Philippines. As pointed-up in the film, present Communist strategy in Southeast Asia is to undermine non-Communist governments by threat and subversion. In the three and a half years since SEATO's formation, the eight member nations have made long strides forward along the road to mutual security.
