A report by Trevor Philpott
Greenpeace fights in the front line of the conservation battle, where the whales or the seals are being killed, the toxic waste is being dumped, the bombs are being exploded. Their policy is non-violent direct action.
They break the law and make the headlines, and in a few years they've grown from a handful of west-coast idealists into a fashionable international movement.
This is the story of how it happened, told through some of their most impudent and most daring campaigns. Producer CAROLINE WEAVER Series editor PETER JONES BBC Bristol (R)

Robert Kee introduces the first of four films which recall the life and work of reporter Rene Cutforth who died last year.
A Reporter Returns
One of the last of a vanishing breed of radio correspondents and war reporters,
Rene Cutforth was also a writer of great talent who travelled widely as a journalist for television. He was one of the BBC's Special
Correspondents for the first tragic year of the Korean War.
It was an assignment that culminated with the heroic stand of the Gloucesters at the Imjin River. Of the 741 men in the battalion only 46 reached their own lines.
Rene Cutforth was one of the last journalists to leave the deserted capital of Seoul.
Twenty years later, in 1971, he returned to South Korea to see what this energetic country, still divided from the North, had made of its ruin. Series compiled by JENNY CROPPER
