'Longhair'
Leung Kwok Heung, or "Longhair" as he is better known, has been an active Marxist for 40 years. His political activism has led him to be jailed on several occasions and yet in recent years he's found enough support in traditionally conservative Hong Kong to have been elected as Legislator. His headline grabbing antics are both frowned upon and cheered by the public. Far from the norm for a Hong Kong politician, not only does his popularity grow but his campaigns are slowly but surely making a difference. This RTHK programme is part of the international exchange series Global Perspective 2010 with the theme: At the Edge.

'Here and Now'
New Zealand is renowned for its sweeping natural landscape, safe, clean-green environment, and ready access to adventure sports. But how does the landscape influence the character and mentality of those who inhabit it? At least one in 20 young New Zealanders seek opportunities overseas every year, to gain experiences that don't exist back home. Here and Now explores the journeys of two young men - one who left and one who stayed - whose carefree Kiwi attitudes lead to life-changing experiences.

This RNZ programme is part of the international exchange series Global Perspective 2010 with the theme: At the Edge.

'In Search of the hermit within'
The Australian bush can be brutally harsh and unforgiving as well as hauntingly beautiful. It is also an ideal place to seek a solitary life. Being so totally alone in nature can be a unique experience. It can unlock all sorts of secrets of one's true self. It can teach a person to stop time. It can be a place of escape, and of discovery. Stewart Nestel and Peter Davis went in search of people who have chosen to become hermits and of people who encountered them.

This ABC programme is part of the international exchange series Crossing Boundaries and was originally broadcast in July 2005.
