Bushfires: Inside the Inferno

Nowhere else in the world is so regularly ravaged by infernos of the intensity, scale and destructive force of the Australian bushfire. As our population grows and spreads and as the effects of climate change are felt, the danger to loss of life and property escalates. What do we know about bushfires and how can we prevent their devastating consequences? Not surprisingly, Australia is a world leader in fire research and the complex and technologically sophisticated job of fire fighting and prevention. Inside The Inferno takes us into the terrifying heart of major fire events, unfolding the research that explains how fires start, grow and change; and how we predict them, prevent them, fight them and hopefully survive these violent natural disasters. Inside The Inferno explores not only the devastating mega fires such as Black Saturday in Victoria 2009 and the Canberra fires of 2003, but also major fire-fronts that received little attention.

Watermen: A Dirty Business

Water is vital to life but all of it is not created equal, and getting clean water is a dirty business - literally. People who work for Britain's biggest water companies have to face messy, and at times revolting, situations in order to unblock a drain or fix a leaky faucet and improve the condition of a customer's water. This programme profiles some of the workers - from sewer men to engineers - who are tasked with the dirty jobs that are needed to keep the country supplied with water. It may not be an easy job but it is an important one.

Right through Africa

After five years in Turkey, Bram Vermeulen is back at his post in Africa. Familiar territory, because between 2001 and 2009 he traveled extensively on this continent as a correspondent. The countries he visited have now changed drastically. Africa is booming, they say. But what does that mean? And what are the consequences for the people Vermeulen met and left behind at the time? In nine episodes, Bram Vermeulen travels through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Angola and investigates the changes. He travels by train, moped and Rolls Royce, meets miners, farmers and wealthy oil barons and rediscovers the southern tip of the continent.

The Bible Project

We want to change how people read and use the Bible. For some, the Bible is used as a devotional grab bag. For others it is a instructional manual that fell out of the sky. And for many, it is an oppressive book of out-dated rules used to control people. We believe that the Bible is a divine-human book that speaks God’s word to his people. We think it points people to Jesus, who has power to change individuals and whole communities. When we let the biblical story speak for itself, we believe it has immense wisdom to offer the modern world. The Bible Project is not part of any specific Christian denomination or tradition. Our mission is to help people see the Bible as a unified story that leads to Jesus. We hope that people from all backgrounds will find value in this work, regardless of their religious or non-religious convictions

Asia in the Great War

Over 100 years ago, humanity witnessed the greatest war that had ever occurred: World War I. Nearly two million men from across Asia were recruited to fight in the war. They were Indian soldiers from remote communities, Chinese farmers from rural outposts who worked as laborers, Vietnamese fishermen participating on behalf of their French colonial masters, and Japanese sailors in service of their emperor. But today, few remember them or their sacrifices. From India's Forgotten Army to the Chinese Labor Corp, Vietnam's war and rebellion to Japan's alliance and subsequent imperialism, this program examines Asia's war effort and how it...
