Tai A Chau is home for both farmers and fishermen who use the island as a permanent harbor for their small floating homes. The daily routines of Mr. Wong, a fisherman, and Mr. Ng, a farmer, are representative of their respective problems of survival, mutual dependence, and hopes for the future. Tai A Chau is home for both farmers and fishermen who use the island as a permanent harbor for their small floating homes. The daily routines of Mr. Wong, a fisherman, and Mr. Ng, a farmer, are representative of their respective problems of survival, mutual dependence, and hopes for the future. Island in the China Sea is the introductory film in the China Coast series of Faces of Change. It provides a broad overview of the rural societies of both the island farmer and the boat people who harbor here. It traces the lifestyle of agricultural and fishing families, juxtaposing their daily activities and their tacit interaction. The symbiosis is in delicate balance, however, since ideas of class and caste set the two groups apart. Island farmers have traditionally regarded boat people as inferior.

Description
The fens of East Anglia provide the scenery for this documentary. At the centre of the film is John, a solitary character, who makes his living by trapping eels in the numerous canals of the area. We see him at work and narrating his own story. Eel trapping is illegal, so he is always on the run: this is a tale of poaching, a traditional craft, and the influence of the modern state on the individual.

New York City is America’s commercial, economic and cultural heart and, according to the Global Economic Power Index, the world’s most powerful city. Such success would not be possible without cutting-edge logistics, engineering and technology. This eye-opening series visits three crucial locations in New York – including Grand Central Terminal and Central Park – and explores the day-to-day details, everyday heroes and quirks of history that keep this mega-city motoring forward. Real-life stories, hidden passageways, record-breaking tunnels and night-time sessions in the UPS sorting depot provide an illuminating glimpse behind-the-scenes of New York. A restless exploration of a city always on the move.
The second part of this three-part series, revealing the astonishing daily systems that allow America's biggest and busiest city to function. Anita Rani, Ade Adepitan, Ant Anstead and Dan Snow are in New York. From their base at the New Fulton fish market in The Bronx, they reveal the hidden nighttime operations, hard-nosed negotiations and price fluctuations of this wholesale operation. It is a stock exchange for seafood.
This time, Anita, Ade and Ant trace New York's food back to its source. Ade discovers that New York state produces an astonishing 600,000 tonnes of apples, more than 2.5 times Britain's entire production. Anita visits a cattle farm that supplies the steakhouses of New York and finds their diet includes chocolate, crisps and pasta.
Ant visits the New New York Bridge - $4 billion project that will provide a new transport artery for the city. Dan Snow heads to Freshkills on Staten Island. Once the world's biggest landfill with 150 million tonnes of rubbish, it has been transformed into 2,200 acres of parkland.
And we report on the revolution overtaking New York's food delivery networks. Our cameras go out with the takeaway delivery drivers responsible for getting 180,000 chicken wings to hungry New Yorkers.

The Water Talks to Me provides a close look at a traditional fishing community caught in the midst of change. Shot in the fishing port of Gloucester, Massachusetts, and on vessels in the North Atlantic, this half-hour documentary explores the impact of declining fish populations on the lives of two offshore fishermen, a father and son. Fisheries' scientists and federal managers are included in the interviews. The result is a multi-layered analysis of family and economics, environmental issues and politics. Narrated by Noah Adams of National Public Radio, The Water Talks to Me is well-suited for classroom use. The documentary's approach is simple and direct, making it accessible for a wide range of educational levels, from junior high through college
