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

In July 1999 fifty-year-old Gary Dellapenta became the first man in America to be imprisoned for cyberstalkingt. In 1998 Dellapenta fell in love with Brandi Barber, a woman half his age. When their romance ended, Dellapenta assumed a new internet identity and logged on as a young woman harbouring sado-masochistic rape fantasies. He posted Brandi Barber's address and phone number on bulletin boards and internet chat rooms - inviting men to come and knock on her door. Six perverts did - usually in the middle of the night and, in this special documentary from the Panorama team, Brandi Barber reveals the terror she felt, in her first interview since the stalking took place.

On 15 December 1961 in Jerusalem, Adolf Eichmann was sentenced to death for crimes against the Jewish people and against humanity. While this judgment was met with consensus on a national level, some spoke out against it. On 29 May 1962, a group of Holocaust survivors and intellectuals, including philosophers Hannah Arendt, Hugo Bergmann, Martin Buber and Gershom Scholem, rejected an epilogue to the trial they believed was inappropriate and sent a petition to President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi to demand Eichmann's death sentence be commuted. By opposing Eichmann's execution, they raised questions about the Holocaust, and also defended the values of Judaism, raising questions about Jewish morality for Israel and the nature of a Jewish State. Historians, philosophers, and Israeli eyewitnesses set out the facts, go over the philosophical arguments, and return to a debate that, while central to that era, remains valid today and deserves to be revisited.
In 1961, Adolf Eichmann was sentenced to death for crimes against the Jewish people and against humanity. While this judgment was met with consensus on a national level, some spoke out against it.

In this country, the elderly population fits right in with other oppressed groups we have studied. Even though we all hope to join this group, we tend to subject its members to attitudes that may reflect damaging biases and stereotypes. Addictions counselors need accurate information about this population because we can expect to see more and more seniors in treatment. The guest lecturers for this class have special expertise in this area. Both Clayton Rivers and Jacque Rhodes have combined clinical experience with solid research. They address the topic in two parts. First, Dr. Rivers provides a review of what is known about alcohol and the elderly up to this point. Then Jacque Rhodes shares the results of her newly-completed study.
