Mexico and the Mexican Indian A series of six films
Over 400 years after the Spanish conquest of Mexico, much of the Indian tradition survives. There are still over three million Indians living in Mexico. Many still speak their ancient languages - cling to their old traditions, and worship the old gods. These are the descendants of the Indians who created the civilisations of Middle America -the Aztec, the Mava. the Totonae, the Zapotec. the Mixtec and the Olmec. Civilisations whose pyramids. temples and lost cities rise from the plains or lie almost submerged in tropical rain forests. Narrated by IAN HOLM

Law-breakers, law-enforcers, lawyers, the law - in 13 frank documentary films set in Florida, USA.
Bruce Rowe is homosexual. When he picks up a young hitch-hiker called Charles Handy Bentley, it's the start of a nightmare, which ends in bondage and burglary. His is a classic dilemma. If he says nothing, he will lose his property. If he reports the matter, he will lose his reputation. For what happened was bizarre and embarrassing, and no details are spared when the matter comes up before Judge Richard Hickey. Rowe's predicament is even more serious, because Miami is undergoing one of its periodic bouts of moral indignation against homosexuality. The campaign is led by the Baptist Church, spearheaded by the singer Anita Bryant, and underpinned by a police choir - Cops for Christ.
However equal he is before the law, there could hardly be a worse time for a man like Bruce Rowe to put his case before a jury of six good citizens of Miami.
