No Minister!
What makes a law-abiding community besiege a government minister in a small village for four hours? Who ambushed a milk tanker in a remote Welsh valley and pulled out the plug, and why have farmers' wives been publicly bathing in milk?
'The fact of the matter is that we are the only country in Europe that does not have the political will to safeguard its own agricultural industry'.
The Dyfed Farmers' Action Group explain how the government imposition of milk quotas is devastating the economy of South West Wales, and why some of the farming community are resorting to militant
French-style tactics to get the policy changed.
Made in partnership with the Dyfed Farmers' Action Group.

... of documentary. A series of films portraying issues, institutions and individuals. The Grendon Experiment
It is like no other prison in the world. The inmates, some of the most disruptive in the system, are all volunteers. They call prison officers by their first names, help to keep discipline and can vote to expel fellow prisoners.
This is Grendon in Buckinghamshire, where 260 inmates are made to account for their actions and past crimes, which include murder, arson and rape. The prison officers act as therapists.
In a Lords debate, Grendon was called 'the jewel in the crown' of our penal system. It has also been attacked as a soft option for hardened criminals. New governor
Michael Selby believes it is the hardest way to serve a sentence. This film is the first ever made in Britain's only psychiatric prison.
