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.

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.

Over 90% of the world's opium now comes from Afghanistan. This no-holds barred documentary follows this illicit industry, from the cultivation of the opium plants, to the processing of heroin, to the cross border smuggling that occurs between Afghanistan and Iran. The cameras actually catch the ambush of smugglers by Iranian guards in the rocky mountains of Afghanistan. We watch as opium is processed into heroin in the Afghan highlands. By using a car jack, the raw material is pressed, diluted, heated, and pressed again. The unlikely looking mixture is now ready for export. The film focuses on the Afghan tribal leader who brokers the deal for the 400 villagers supplying him with opium. They depend on his patronage for their livelihood. Opium is the cash crop; without it their survival is at risk. For the Afghans it is a no win situation. For the much needed cash, the Afghans are faced with a grave problem. Their own young are turning to drugs. Traditionally drug addiction was one problem the Afghans never faced. After thirty years of war, Afghanistan is in ruins. College Adult
