Documentary series about life in a typical American high school. Crossroads. Graduation looms for the pupils of Glenbard High. Principal Sue Bridge thinks she might not complete her PhD in time and Roy realises flirting won't get him through his exams.

The series in which the public make programmes under their own editorial control.
Until the Lions. This provocative but entertaining film showcases the rapidly expanding social movement "Afrocentrism". Leo Chester, a rising star of the comedy circuit, explains why people of African descent worldwide are challenging the complacent assumptions which downgrade and dismiss the contribution of Africa to world civilisation. And some British Africans and African Americans air their views on the growth of Afrocentrism. Made by Kenny Bakie of Mwalimu, an African educational group, the title is taken from an old African proverb: "Until the lions have their historians, tales of hunting will always glorify the hunter." Director Jackie Osei-Tutu
Executive producer Giles Oakley
