    British actor Stephen Murray informatively narrates this documentary that follows the mighty Mekong river from it's rising in Tibet, high in the Himalayas for around 3,000 miles through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. The photography illustrates just how this waterway has always been a vital lifeline for the adjacent communities proving food, water, irrigation and a navigable route for people and goods alike. What's clear is that the river is not consistent with it's generosity. Some areas are left inundated whilst others as dry as a bone - it all depends on the monsoon in June/July that can last until November. That can bring opportunity and ruin in equal measure to agrarian communities ill-equipped to deal with these unpredictable and destructive variations. That latter part of this film illustrates efforts to deal with these annual problems. An UN-backed study involving some sixteen nations from around the world is working on ways to manage the river's resource more efficiently. A series of dams and reservoirs is proposed that would more than double the amount of arable land available and provide not just consistent water supplies, but electricity too. The camerawork captures the great scale of the Mekong - especially at it's almost octopus-like delta. It's magnificence and it's power are also well depicted here, as are the lives of the people who live, plant their rice, fish and worship beside it. It's quite an interesting twenty-odd minutes that shows just how consensus, science and progress can offer hope for citizens whose lives has been constant for centuries.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
