Alexiei, a nineteen year old Russian recruit, is being flown to perform his military service at a small base in a remote part of Northern Russia. This base is one of few such frontier posts on the Arctic Ocean, guarding the vast, uninhabited parts of the Russian country. Besides Alexiei, five other soldiers are stationed there.
All five have been there for a long time, perhaps too long, each of them carrying their personal worries and secrets. It is hard for them imagining going back to a life with real people and to reconnect with their past. It is easier to continue their absurd service of guarding this submerged area always covered in snow, hundreds of miles away from the nearest human settlement. Alexiei will not only learn how to survive in extreme winter conditions, he may just be taught the most valuable lesson of his life.

Australia has long been seen as a land of potential, with plenty of room for everyone - provided they were white. This film recalls the fear and insularity that has shaped our population policy.

Australia has long been seen as a land of potential, with plenty of room for everyone - provided they were white. This film recalls the fear and insularity that has shaped our population policy. Today, these anxieties are often expressed as opposition to further population increase. Others argue that the problem is not the size or make-up of the population but the way we choose to live.

In June 2000, 58 Chinese nationals were discovered in a truck at Dover Ferry Port in the UK. Packed like cattle in a container with no air, food or water, they suffocated to death. An estimated 100,000 Chinese people entrust their lives to human smugglers or 'Snakeheads' every year. For huge fees, they are promised a new life in the West. Correspondent traces the business of human smuggling to its source - Fujian, China. Through unprecedented access to the police and the government, the film shows Beijing's fight against the smugglers and reveals the on-going torment of the families caught-up in the Dover disaster.

Ethanol is the hot new fuel. It is a grain alcohol that can be blended with gasoline or even replace it completely. All vehicles can use a mixture of up to 10% ethanol and so-called flexible fuel vehicles can run on either E-85 with 85% ethanol or regular gasoline. Ethanol is a clean, renewable fuel that produces no net CO2 emissions. Paradoxically, Spain is home to Europe's biggest ethanol producer, but none of it fuels the nation's vehicles. That is because oil companies in Spain own the lion's share of filling stations, hate competition, and are keen to offload their gasoline surpluses. Instead, Spain's ethanol is shipped at great expense to more environmentally-conscious countries like Sweden. In March 2007, President Bush made of tour of Latin America. His aim was to make alliances with Latin American countries to produce ethanol. His strategy to boost the use of renewable fuels tomitigate global warming, and to reduce US oil dependence on the Middle East and Venezuela.
