位於四川省的喇榮寺五明佛學院，是藏傳佛教聖地，也是世界上最大的佛教學院，容納近萬名僧侶和尼姑。近年，中國政府以扶貧為名，在這裏推行改善工程，旨在將該地打造成旅遊勝地。游牧民族須重新安置，並接受漢語和和愛國教育，令藏民保存近千年的生活方式，發生了重大的轉變。

The largest Buddhist academy in the world lies deep in the mountains of the Chinese province of Sichuan. Larung Gar is a holy place of Tibetan Buddhism, where some 10,000 monks and nuns train. Here, under the auspices of a Chinese government antipoverty program, infrastructure "betterment" projects have been launched, aiming to turn the area into a tourist destination. The government has also pushed the resettlement and concentration of Tibetan nomads, education in Chinese language, and patriotic indoctrination. The past 3 years have brought major changes to the lifestyles of Tibetans, who have preserved their unique culture and religious traditions for over a millennium.

中美貿易戰另一個戰場，是中美科技戰。中國近年積極發展區塊鏈，這是一種用於虛擬貨幣的加密技術。中國希望透過這種嶄新科技，挑戰由美元支撐的美國經濟霸權。

They call it ’blue gold.’ Around the world, demand for water is exploding. By 2050, at least one in four will live in a country suffering from water shortages - creating ideal conditions for a new market...Goldman Sachs, HSBC, UBS, Allianz, Deutsche Bank, BNP. Banks, investment funds and hedge funds are all rushing to invest billions of euros in anything related to water. A real monopoly of water has begun. From California to Australia, from New York to London via Marseille, we investigate the financialization of water. New power relations are being established and access to water is being threatened.

China is undertaking a controversial social experiment, in which citizens are rewarded for good behaviour, and undesirable acts are punished. Your accumulated social credit score could determine your fate. As the system has started to create a chasm between the haves and have-nots, people are asking, is this a cure to uncivilised behaviour, or a tool to silence descent?

位於土耳其的博斯普魯斯大橋是世上第一座橫跨歐亞大陸的大橋，2016年，這裏發生的一場「企圖政變」，賦予這條橋新的意義。政變後，總統埃爾多安借機大規模肅清軍隊、行政機關和司法機構等。這場政變令埃爾多安進一步加強獨裁統治，但同時亦將土耳其推出歐盟的大門外。

Norwegian journalist Jørgen Lorentzen was in Turkey during the coup attempt in 2016. One of the neighbours stated that he had experienced many coups before, and that this was not a real coup. From that moment on Lorentzen started investigating the event and its aftermath. The result is the documentary film “A Gift from God”. The film is the product of three years of intense investigative journalism.

Now with his legal fight against extradition to the US in full swing, Assange supporters warn his prosecution marks a dangerous chapter for freedom of information.

With Brexit dominating our airwaves, nationalism spreading across the continent, and people questioning identity and economic protectionism, the European dream seems to be over. How did we get here? Were we too eager in our vision of an “ever-closer union”? What happened to the ideals of peace, tolerance and liberty? How did Europe go from global utopia to a model of what not to do? From Brussels to Budapest, we investigate the future of Europe to discover if its citizens can still work together toward a common destiny.

1952年，新當選的美國總統艾森豪威爾曾暗示，要結束在韓國的戰事，並宣布：「我將前往朝鮮！」在蘇聯領袖史太林去世後，停戰協議終被敲定，南北韓的邊界訂定於三八線附近，即韓戰開展的地方。兩韓於1953年停戰，往後幾十年，北韓在增強軍事實力的同時，試圖推翻南韓政府，但並未成功。時至今日，兩韓的分界線仍在存在，南韓擁有經濟實力，而北韓則擁有核武。兩韓關係近年雖有改善，但統一夢似乎仍無期。

The final surprise of the Korean War is that it does not know how to stop. When Eisenhower is elected in 1952, he implies that he will put a stop to the war, declaring: «I will go to Korea!». Ultimately, when Stalin dies, the Armistice is signed, and the border between South and North Korea is designated near the 38th parallel, where the Korean War had started in the first place. After the Armistice of 1953, the fall out from the war has a huge impact on global politics. Over succeeding decades, North Korea builds up its military capability while trying unsuccessfully to topple the government in Seoul. Today the line in Korea is still drawn; North Korea and South Korea are still grave enemies, while North Korea is now armed with nuclear weapons.
