Why are more and more of our overseas aid charities moving into politics - calling for justice not charity for the third world?
During the last eight months Christian Aid has collected from us some £6-million. This film follows the route the money will take through one country-India. Beginning with emergency relief programmes that few would question, through new forms of appropriate technology that can help villages to help themselves, the impulse of compassion finally moves into politics. For, increasingly, Christian Aid's partners in India want to tackle not just the symptoms but the causes of poverty. But political issues like human rights or land distribution mean bitter controversy for Christian Aid back in Britain.

Third of four plays celebrating the works of the late David Mercer
starring

The dramatic impetus to tonight's intriguing and mysterious play, first shown in 1968, is provided by the memory and fantasies of Robert Kelvin, an illustrious and ageing novelist. These are triggered off by the love that Emma, a beautiful young girl, offers him. His inability to respond to her any more than to the other two women in his life adds all the more to the agony of the powerful climax.
