Seven films in which David Jessel takes up the cases of people whose lives have been shattered by injustice.
"I'd lost my job. I'd lost my home. I'd lost my boyfriend. My whole life had just gone.... gone. He hasn't lost anything, he's still got everything he had.... He shouldn't be allowed to wreck someone's life and then just walk away."
Fifteen years ago Parliament passed the Sex Discrimination Act to ensure that women and men were treated equally at work. Tonight's film tells the stories of five women who tried to use this law to get justice from their employers but found that the system which was supposed to help them often added insult to the initial injury, discrimination or harassment.

The Law
Police sergeant Gerry Drewett's ancestor was a prime suspect for the Jack the Ripper murders. A hundred years later, when he and Inspector Peter Vingoe were assigned to the same streets, their brief was simple - do something about race relations - and they did. With hand-picked officers and a new kind of policing, their patch now enjoys an uneasy calm. But the guys on the beat, including 'Rocky', Harry and Ron can't be too careful.

Sound
Second of five films on the relationship between design and the senses.
Whether perfected, excluded or simply ignored, sound is often central to design, to the quality of life. For musicians such as Courtney Pine , sound is the very subject of the tools they use and the architecture they inhabit. Andy Davey 's ghetto blaster designs may please those thirsty for noise, but environmental health officer, Bill Campbell , has to cope with the sound debris in a community not designed for too many heavyweight decibels.
