THE FORGOTTEN ONES: CHILDREN OF THE INTIFADA (10’54”)

SOMALIA: THE PRICE OF A BETTER LIFE (5’ 16 ”)

THE NUCLEAR LEGACY OF SEMIPALATINSK (5'46”)

A conflict is raging between Palestinian armed groups and Israel Defense Forces. Nearly four-thousand five-hundred Palestinians have died…more than one thousand Israelis. But the cost of this conflict can be measured not only in the lives that have ended, but in the toll taken on the living…especially the children.

Somalia – it’s a country wracked by violence and poverty with many searching for an escape. What happens when the dream of a new life turns into its own nightmare. Here’s our story.

The cold war and the battle for nuclear supremacy created a network of Soviet secret cities decades ago. Tonight, a journey to one of those cities, and a look at a dangerous legacy still felt today.

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.
