Harold Williamson presents six films about people determined to achieve a personal goal.
Evelyn Glennie, along with 600 other students at the Royal Academy of Music, London, is studying to become a musician. She has had to learn to 'hear' and play music in a special way - because she has been profoundly deaf since the age of 12. Music is Evelyn's life - whether it is developing her talent in percussion and piano, introducing deaf children to the joys of making music, or playing before a Royal audience in a performance which prompted SIR GEORG SOLTI to predict an exciting future for her.
'All I want is to be heard, to be judged on my ability like any other musician.'

Kinabalu, Summit of Borneo The highest peak in south-east Asia, Kinabalu, was once a mountain of legend and fable. To Chinese adventurers it was the abode of a dragon, rumoured to guard a pearl by a lake at the very summit.
Today's visitors have yet to find a pearl.... or see a dragon ... but there are riches of another kind. A cool island rearing precipitously from the hot and humid lowlands,
Kinabalu is a treasure-house of plant and animal life.
Bizarre carnivorous pitcher plants, big enough to drown a rat, share its slopes with huge begonias and stately tree-ferns. Flamboyant rhododendrons shelter the elusive ferret badger as it hunts for giant worms, and there are nearly 1,500 kinds of orchid, many found nowhere else in the world.
