In 1885 the British army invaded Burma and deposed its King. He died in exile, ending a thousand years of monarchy. The royal family vanished, and the country was plunged into war and the longest military dictatorship of modern times. But after a century of silence they are back, and they’re on a journey to bring the family - past and present - back together. Filmed through three years of seismic change in Burma, this is the story of a family and a country emerging from the darkness.

Award-winning Scottish director Hannah Currie’s film is centered on the Hope Sculpture, a work created by artist and designer Steuart Padwick, to mark the climate change conference, COP26, in Glasgow in 2021. City of Hope focuses on those who are working in the city, from climate change experts and young activists to health specialists and community leaders, to find out what ‘hope’ means to them, including Sir Harry Burns, Professor of Global Public Health at Strathclyde University, and Trans activist and actor Adam Kashmiry. COP26, and the sculpture, provide a springboard for these conversations, with an emphasis on resilience and optimism. City of Hope brings to life diverse voices through interviews, stunning shots of Glasgow, the Hope Sculpture, city landmarks, and personal stories of fear, hope and redemption. It also looks at the environmental impact on mental health and wellbeing and reflects residents’ real struggles, as well as their hopes for the future. BAFTA Award-winning director Hannah Currie hails from Glasgow and is a passionate advocate for mental health and the environment. Her graduation film, We Are All Here, won the Mind Media award for Student Journalism in 2018 and was subsequently commissioned by the BBC.

This is the story of an eccentric British couple who give up the comforts of retired life in England and travel to India on a mission. They want to save the working donkey. For the slum dwellers in Delhi, the donkey is a work machine, put into back-breaking labour 7 days a week, 8 hours a day. These ‘slumdog donkeys’ are being worked to death, seldom reaching their 5th birthday. Desperate to make a difference, Jean and Bob Harrison swap their life in North London to spend their days driving around the dusty Delhi roads in their ramshackle animal ambulance, picking up and carefully putting half dead donkeys into the back. With no veterinary skills of their own, they enlist the help of a local vet. Together they visit donkey sites dispensing medicine and tending to horrific injuries. But for every donkey they save there are hundreds more dying and the Harrisons quickly find themselves overwhelmed. They planned to stay for a year in India but their money soon runs out. More devastating news comes when their vet decides to leave. And when their local animal shelter closes its doors, they are forced to face the painful decision as to whether they can carry on… Jean and Bob are colourful characters. Jean is unstoppable following a successful brain tumour operation a few years ago. She thinks she has extra time on earth to do some good. For her, each donkey case is unique and personal, and her care for these unloved yet loving creatures is remarkable. Bob used to be a ‘minstrel’, a medieval jester, singing in pubs around London. His sense of humour keeps them going as they struggle with uneducated donkey owners who do not always want to be helped and go to great lengths to hide sick donkeys from the Harrisons’ gaze. Saving the working donkeys turns out to be much harder than the Harrisons ever dreamed it could be. This documentary uncovers their rollercoaster journey, following them in the UK and India over 9 months of ups and downs. Want to watch more full-length Documentaries?

The Church of England’s interpretation of the Bible is far from accepting of non-heterosexual relationships. “I had an internal battle,” says Michael, a gay priest, “because the way I still felt in my heart of hearts, at the core of my being, was that it wasn t wrong.” Another priest, Andrew, feels that he has been discriminated against after marrying a male partner: “I’m on a blacklist, basically.” By speaking out, the Church’s own ranks are leading the struggle for change.

Selected for Short of the Week In this short documentary The Swimming Club, UK directors Cecilia Golding and Nick Finegan offer a sweet yet staunch defence of the importance of safe spaces, in this case the pool used by the London Trans and Gender Non-conforming Swimming Group (TAGS). The film profiles several members as they describe how swimming together – including wearing the swimsuits of their choice without prejudice – has allowed them to find a sense of freedom and ‘serene power’ that rarely exist in the world outside the pool. The phrase ‘a safe space’ emerged from the women’s and LGBT movements of the 1960s and ’70s, and has since been taken up by a broad swathe of identity-based communities. But it has also increasingly been viewed with derision by those who think that it represents an overly sensitive culture.

Listen to our podcast episode on the mysterious case behind our Real Stories Original: "Vanished: The Surrey Schoolgirl" with journalist Martin Bright here: http://bit.ly/VanishedE6 Climate Chaos in the South is a not about the science or reasons behind climate change but about the devastating impact that it is already having on many who live in the southern hemisphere. Featuring interviews with the victims as well as the experts in Africa, Asia and South America, Climate Chaos in the South captures vividly the changes that climate change has wrought not just on the environment but on the lives and livelihoods of millions across three continents. Fertile land has been scorched and turned to desert while on the coasts increases in sea temperature has depleted fish stocks and a rising sea level has destroyed settlements. The huge rise in cyclones and other natural disasters continue to destroy homes on an unimaginable scale and the overall result is turning entire populations into climate refugees. While climate change once looked like a problem of the future, this film demonstrates with absolute clarity that it is a humanitarian catastrophe of the present. Made with the support of Greenpeace, Oxfam, VOICE and numerous others, Climate Chaos in the South is the first comprehensive survey of how climate change is already devastating the lives of millions.

It s a bumpy ride as he s confronted with some lively debates along the way, but by the end could he possibly win over any of these believers with what he regards as hard scientific fact?
