for the deaf and hard of hearing
A look at the news of the week with film from all over the world and a commentary that can be seen as well as heard. (Colour)

A series of films from all over the world about our astonishing planet and the people who live on it.

There are few places, if anywhere. in the civilised world where life has changed less in the last millennium than Athos in northern Greece.
Since the middle of the tenth century Athos has been inhabited by Greek Orthodox monks. Women, children, and female animals are forbidden. Since the fall of Constantinople in 1453 Athos has represented a unique survival from the great Empire of Byzantium. However, the monastic community is in danger of dying out. The reasons for this, and what would be lost if this were to happen, are the subject of tonight's film.
