Another chance to see the first of seven films written and presented by David Attenborough 1: Behind the Mask
The remote Dogon country in Central Mali still retains much of the mystery and magic of ancient Africa. It is one of the last places left on earth where it is possible to see not only how tribal carvings are made but why they are made and what part they play in ritual life. Tonight's film sets out to cross the barrier that so often conceals the meaning of tribal art from the European eye.

presented by Julian Pettifer Olivier Todd , Jim Lehrer
The news of the fall of Saigon reached Hanoi at 9.30 on the morning before May Day. Immediately, the posters came out
' You are always marching with us Uncle Ho.' For the communist north, the spirit of Uncle Ho -"Ho Chi Minh - had finally come marching home. The end of the 'Trail' lay in Saigon. But at what cost?
In the 21 years since the fall of the French at Dien Bien Phu , probably three million Vietnamese have died - together, of course, with soldiers from America, Australia and Korea.
JULIAN PETTIFER, himself a veteran of many of the actions of the war in South Vietnam, charts the course of the battles, of the major political events, and of the lives of the men, women and children caught up in a civil war of ideologies many of them probably never understood.
OLIVIER TODD , the French reporter and author, who met the communist leaders in the north on his trips to Hanoi, reports upon the war as seen from the North
. JIM LEHRER , an American TV commentator, gives the American dimension along the way to the End of the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
