A series of five training films for supervisors and shop stewards with a multi-racial workforce.
Many Indian and Pakistani workers in Britain still speak little English, and their different customs make it all the harder for Asians and whites to adjust to one another in the workplace. Could training courses for shop stewards, foremen and Asian workers lead to better race relations inside and outside the factory.

Are women right to abandon the Pill? This year half a million women in Britain stopped taking it. 'But for many it's still the best possible contraceptive,' says a family planning doctor. Man Alive looks at the risks and the advantages of the oral contraceptive. Jenny Conway and Harold Williamson talk to gynaecologists and women about their experiences with the Pill and how they face their new dilemma, 'if not the Pill, what else?'
What are the alternatives? Is the coil getting more popular? Is there a trend towards sterilisation and the more old-fashioned methods like diaphragms and sheaths? And is research likely, in the end, to reveal a perfect contraceptive?
