Meet Reya - radio presenter and daughter of an Arab Muslim father and Jewish mother. Her parents met in London in the 80s. The 25-year old was born in the UK and lived in Qatar as a child, then moved back to Oxford with her parents and three siblings when she was five years old. Reya's family has very different views on the Arab-Israeli conflict. Amid the differences, she stands somewhere in the middle. In this film and for the first time in her life, Reya travels to the heart of the conflict between Jews and Muslims - to Israel, Gaza and the West Bank - to see events through the eyes of young Israelis and Palestinians. Her encounters reveal how everyday life for them has been made shockingly different - often very dangerous - by the long-running hostilities they were born into. It's a world away from the life she knows. But she believes the two cultures to be similar and that the two sworn enemies have more in common then they realize.

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'.
