In Fear of Al-Shabab: Hassan (not his real name) is a Somali MP. He once fought along side them, but rejected the group's "un-Islamic lust for power". Now he lives in fear of them.
Sara and Simón: Uruguay's Dirty War: Sara Méndez was abducted in 1976 and separated from her 20-day-old son, Simón. After spending five years in detention as a political prisoner, Sara began to look for Simón. It took her 26 years to find him.
Blessed by Fire: A new film exposes the maltreatment, starvation and torture of Argentinian soldiers at the hands of their own officers during the war in the Falklands. After 25 years of silence, some veterans are out for justice.
Dilemma: Cash or Integrity?: Jonathan talks with webmaster Rob Cockerham about a dilemma he faced when the company exposed as a scam by his website made him an offer to change his site.

Finland is known as a cold place with hot saunas. The last thing we associate with Finland is the tango. And yet producer Dheera Sujan discovered that the tango is the country's unlikely national dance enjoyed by thousands of Finns at lakeside dance halls.

'Running the Goat'
The 17th-century Canadian fishing community of Harbour Deep vanished from the map not long ago. But its ghost survives in a traditional set dance called Running the Goat. Summer tourists now learn the steps for an authentic taste of Newfoundland out-port life. Producer Chris Brookes was awarded the Prix Marulic for this lively feature.
