The Way and its Power
To the Chinese, Taoism has been the basis of practically all art, thought and worship - a way of life for more than 2,000 years arising from their perception of man's relationship to the Universe. Its contemporary relevance is manifested in such diverse activities as calligraphy, music, acupuncture and the martial arts. Illustrated also are time-honoured ceremonies of the Ghost Festival, a midnight 'Automatic writing' ritual and paintings, jades and ceramics from the museums of many countries.
A film written by PHILIP HAWSON

The Fix: The hidden story behind drug abuse in Britain.
Nick Ross investigates drug addiction. There was a time when drug abuse was big news: back in the 60s LSD, purple hearts and heroin advanced like a tide in Britain. Ten years ago this month the government responded: addicts were made to register, while the police, the courts and Customs clamped down on illegal trafficking. The tide was turned. Or so it seemed. This film inquiry now reveals a new and even more alarming threat, one that affects the old as well as the young. The Fix shows how people in Britain are falling prey to highly addictive medicines.
