The sixth of eight programmes The Chaco Legacy
Chaco Canyon in New Mexico contains the spectacular ruins of a vanished civilisation. Great masonry buildings, built in a near-desert, bear witness to an American people who have now vanished without trace. They left behind elaborate walled cities, complete with living quarters, vast storage rooms and large round underground chambers called ' kivas ', in which they worshipped. Between their towns they constructed roads; they also had a long-distance signalling system. At the height of their power the people of Chaco controlled an area of some 40,000 square miles. But why did the civilisation fall? Is there a message for us today in what happened 600 years ago?
Recent archaeological excavation provides us with some of the answers.

The sixth of eight programmes Fania Fenelon
FANIA FENELON , a singer and cabaret artiste, spent three-and-a-half years of the Second World War in the French Resistance. She sang in Paris nightclubs reserved for German soldiers and in between singing, talked to them and spied on them.
She was arrested, tortured for three months and sent to Auschwitz where she was recruited into the camp orchestra.
Now an American television company has made a film of her life-story-but because of the casting of Vanessa Redgrave , a Palestinian Liberation Organisation supporter, as Fania, Madame Fenelon attempted to stop the film being made. In tonight's programme she tells her story and explains how she came to terms with the film.
