MONGOLIA: CHILDREN AT RISK (8'49")

PINTO DO ACCORDEON, "FORRO" (4'30")

In the midst of rapid global change, Mongolia is undergoing dramatic transformation. Its youth are growing up in a very different world than their parents. Children, especially from poor families, are being left alone, and getting into trouble with the law.

Have you ever wondered how you would react in extreme circum-stances? Could you imagine risking your own life so that others can survive? That was the choice many faced in Rwanda in 1994 when hard-line Hutus set out to kill any Tutsi they could find. Here's one man's remarkable story.

We've all seen them, people on the street selling cheap copies of the latest movie or song. Few of us give much thought to the fact that most of these products are illegally produced. It's called copyright piracy but it’s far from a victimless crime. Here’s a perspective from one of Brazil's leading singers...in his own words.

ABOUT THE SERIES
UNTV's series of 12 x 26' news-magazine programmes puts a spotlight on the world's most underreported stories. Each episode features 2-3 character-driven, human interest stories that reflect some of the most important issues affecting the world, and our lives today. Our cameras offer unique and often unparalleled access to people and places and stays to bring you the stories as they unfold over time, long after other news outlets leave. From the child labour situation in Tanzania to the woman's struggle in Afghanistan, from the poverty streets in Somalia to the frontline of the guerilla war in Colombia, this series brings home the stories viewers care about, but rarely see. Presented as a fully-packaged programme, and also available by feature segment (approximately 8' each), 21st Century incorporates narrative storytelling with balanced, accurate reporting and is adaptable to local languages. Currently fifty international broadcasters air the magazine monthly, including BBC World and RTVE.
