GOAL 06
Flow: For The Love of Water
​
Award-winning documentary investigation by Irena Salina into the growing privatisation of the world’s dwindling fresh water supply. Salina focuses on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel. She uses interviews with scientists and activists to reveal the rapidly building water crisis at both the global and human scale. Rather than just focusing on the problem, FLOW also provides examples of people and institutions that are working toward practical solutions to the water crisis.
​
Thirst
​
The world is poised on the brink of epochal changes in how water is stored, used, and valued. Is water part of a shared “commons,” a human right for all people? Or is it a commodity to be bought, sold, and traded in a global marketplace? Thirst investigates the privatisation of water and tells the stories of communities in Bolivia, India, and the United States that are asking these fundamental questions.

The Breakthrough in Renewable Energy
​
It’s not in the papers but a silent revolution is moving across the world. Renewable energy is becoming cheaper than from fossil fuels. It means that progressively the choice for wind and solar energy is no longer an ethical one but an economic one. And this will speed up the transfer to renewable energy.
Young and Jobless | European Journal
​
One young person in three in Sweden doesn't have a job. During an election campaign, that's a heavy burden on the government, which vowed to take up the fight against youth unemployment. Now it's still stubbornly high, which is a bad sign for this welfare-conscious country. Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt promised to improve the situation. After initial progress, though, the global slump hit Sweden and worsened job prospects for the young. The employers' association sees two causes of the problem: Excessively high entry-level pay and professional training that doesn't reflect the companies' actual needs. Now the private sector is supposed to get more involved.
GOAL 09
The Chinese are Coming
​
BBC Documentary. Travelling across three continents, Justin Rowlatt investigates the spread of Chinese influence around the planet and asks what the world will be like if China overtakes America as the world's economic superpower. While many in the West view Africa as a land of poverty, to the Chinese it is seen as an almost limitless business opportunity. He then crosses Brazil and the United States on an epic journey as he continues to investigate the spread of Chinese influence around the planet.
