The State We're In
Jonathan Groubert and his team look at current events from an unexpected perspective.
Two Enemies, One Heart
Two soldiers, one Iraqi and one Iranian, meet on the battlefield. The Iranian saves the Iraqi’s life, risking his own in the process. That was 1982. Nearly 20 years later, and on the other side of the world, sheer coincidence brings the two men together again in a life-saving drama.
First airing: Saturday 02:00 UTC

First airing: Friday 03:00 UTC
South Asia Wired
Stories from South Asia.
(There'll be a new edition of the programme on Thursday)
Living in the United States immediately after 9/11, Indian filmmaker Meghna Haldar began to feel distinctly foreign. She felt dirty, she says. So she took up her camera to explore ideas of dirtiness and purity, of "us" and "them", of sacred and profane. The product is a film called Dirt.
Haldar talked to a wide range of people: sex workers in Canada; priests and soil biologists in the US; artisans, cleaners and her family in India. In South Asia Wired this week, we get down and dirty with Meghna Haldar to talk about the clean and the profane.
First airing: Thursday 14:00 UTC
