10 Dollar Death Trip - Inside the Fentanyl Crisis
The fentanyl drug epidemic in North America
The world is fighting a deadly pandemic, but over in North America another
heartbreaking public health crisis is still raging. A synthetic drug is
killing more people than gun crime, homicide and car accidents combined.
One hundred times stronger than heroin, the opioid fentanyl is cheap, potent
and can be sent through the post. These market forces have seen it replacing
heroin and causing unprecedented death, destruction and misery. The death
toll has disproportionately affected the homeless and already marginalized.
Now, due to its strength and low cost, the drug is also starting to be mixed
into party drugs, such as cocaine and cannabis - with fatal results. The
documentary travels to Vancouver, the epicenter of the fentanyl epidemic to
meet with health care workers, activists, fentanyl dealers and addicts. It
shows some of the radical initiatives fighting the abuse of this drug, and
asks what the world could face if the fentanyl epidemic spreads outside of
North America.

Internet from Outer Space
The entire globe can be provided with affordable high-speed Internet from
satellites in space. These newly developed mini-satellites in a low-earth
orbit as well as powerful antennas and signal processing chips make this
possible.
The digital revolution has radically changed the way we live and work. But
more than three billion people are still offline. As with any
infrastructure, fast data connections initially reach urban centers. People
who live in rural areas, even in rich industrialized countries, often have
to get by without reduced bandwidth. Now several consortia are competing to
bridge this gap with the help of hundreds of mini-satellites in low orbit.
The idea is not entirely new: 25 years ago, others already failed because of
their over-ambitious plans and technical limitations. It is only now that
high numbers of satellites can be produced quickly and cheaply through
automation and mass production. In February 2019, the OneWeb consortium
launched the first six 150-kilogram satellites into a low-earth orbit. On
their way to their final orbit at an altitude of 1,200 kilometers., the
satellites must pass through a dense array of GPS and Earth observation
satellites as well as the space debris of the past 60 years. Collisions are
not exceptional. And hundreds more mini-satellites in space will mean even
more space debris in the future. Dozens of ground stations are needed around
the globe to supply the numerous satellites with Internet data and receive
data from space. This requires sophisticated antenna technology, which is
also as yet available on the necessary scale. Not to mention the difficult
regulatory challenges facing Internet providers in over 200 states and
territories.

Poverty, Politics and Profit
More working Americans are struggling to make rent than at any time since
the Great Depression.
FRONTLINE and NPR join forces to investigate the crisis in affordable
housing and why so few are getting the help they need. In a nine-month
investigation that takes them from Dallas to Miami, to an upscale resort in
Costa Rica, NPR’s Laura Sullivan and FRONTLINE’s Rick Young find that just
one in four households eligible for Section 8 assistance are getting it, and
the nation’s signature low-income housing construction program is costing
more and producing less. The team follows a money trail that raises
questions about the oversight of a program meant to house low-income people.
Poverty, Politics and Profit also explores the inseparability of race and
housing programs in America, tracing a legacy of segregation and
discrimination that began more than 80 years ago.

The Antifascists
A low intense war is being fought on the streets of Europe and the aim is on
fascism. This documentary takes us behind the masks of the militant groups
called antifascists. In 2013 a group of armed nazis attacks a peaceful
demonstration in Stockholm where several people are injured. In Greece the
neonazi party Golden Dawn becomes the third largest in the election and in
Malmö the activist Showan Shattak and his friends are attacked by a group of
nazis with knives and he ends up in a coma. In this portrait of the
antifascists in Greece and Sweden we get to meet key figures that explain
their view on their radical politics but also to question the level their
own violence and militancy.

America's love affair with guns
More and more Americans are taking a stand against a widespread gun craze in
the country - especially since a rampage at a Florida school left 27 dead.
But they face stiff resistance from a powerful weapons lobby, above all the
National Rifle Association.
Since it was founded in 1871, the National Rifle Association has gone from a
shooting club to a fighter for the unrestricted right to carry firearms - a
political heavyweight that influences legislation and elections through
donations to parties and members of Congress and the Senate - and
practically co-governs in Washington. The NRA invokes the Second Amendment
of 1787, which guarantees American citizens the right to defend themselves.
However, at the time of the Founding Fathers, muskets were the only common
firearm. Today there are about 300 million pistols and rifles in circulation
in the United States, many of them rapid-fire devices.
The most popular weapon is the AR-15, a semi-automatic assault rifle that
any 18-year-old can buy in most states - without a police clearance
certificate or aptitude test. As we show, even children of pre-school age
are being trained to handle this weapon. It was frequently used by the
perpetrators of school massacres of recent years.
The issue of gun laws divides American society. As the survivors of the 2018
Parkland rampage and other young activists call for stricter legislation and
control, the gun lobby and its supporters invoke their mantra: "To stop a
bad guy with a gun, you need a good guy with a gun."
In the past, all attempts to tighten US weapons laws have failed. Will the
growing resistance of a generation of rampage victims finally succeed in
putting a stop to America's gun madness?

What if Earth were Unique?
Wonders of Earth
How likely is it that we will one day discover a planet with an ecosystem
like Earth's? What if the Earth's diverse and complex life forms are unique?
This documentary takes us on a guided tour that reveals the wonders of our
planet.
Scientists are increasingly convinced that the presence of life on Earth is
the result of a succession of happy coincidences, each one more improbable
than the one before it, which when taken together nearly qualify as a
miracle. Or, could it be that earthlings are the winners of some cosmic
lottery with crazy odds?
While the origins of life remain shrouded in mystery, we have learned a lot
about why life on our planet became possible. For decades, astronomers have
been combing the universe, discovering more and more galaxies and solar
systems. They've found new worlds and distant planets, but surprisingly none
of these had environments that would result in an ecosystem similar to the
one on Earth. A whole series of improbable cosmic and terrestrial events
such as meteor strikes and volcanic eruptions must have all come together at
just the right times to shape our planet. Guided by the work of astronomers,
cosmologists and biologists, this documentary takes viewers on a tour that
explores how our planet and the life on it came into existence. It’s a
journey that’s led even the most sober of scientists to ask, "What if our
world really is unique?"

Freddie Flintoff Living with Bulimia
In this powerful and unflinching documentary, Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff goes
on an acutely personal journey into the eating disorder he has kept secret
for over 20 years – bulimia.
Freddie reveals how bulimia has played a part in the course of his life. He
discusses his experience in visceral detail and meets specialists and young
men with eating disorders across the UK. Together they challenge, with
incredible honesty and humility, some of the stereotypes that men and boys
in their position face – that is, suffering with a serious mental health
condition that is perceived to be something ‘only girls get’ – and finally
give a public voice to a much-misunderstood illness.
Experts estimate that over 1.5 million people in the UK have an eating
disorder like bulimia, of which 25 per cent are male. And yet eating
disorders are still considered to be illnesses that only teenage girls
suffer with. As a result, boys and men with eating disorders most often live
in silence with the double stigma of having a mental health condition that
is not recognised in their gender.
Ultimately, Freddie must ask himself whether he needs professional treatment
to tackle his eating disorder once and for all

How poor people survive in the USA
Homelessness, hunger and shame: poverty is rampant in the richest country in the world. Over 40 million people in the United States live below the poverty line, twice as many as it was fifty years ago. It can happen very quickly.
Many people in the United States fall through the social safety net. In the structurally weak mining region of the Appalachians, it has become almost normal for people to go shopping with food stamps. And those who lose their home often have no choice but to live in a car. There are so many homeless people in Los Angeles that relief organizations have started to build small wooden huts to provide them with a roof over their heads. The number of homeless children has also risen dramatically, reaching 1.5 million, three times more than during the Great Depression the 1930s. A documentary about the fate of the poor in the United States today.
