The Last Straw. The Duke of Westminster may be best known for his urban interests, but his heart is rooted in the countryside. Last year he published a report, The
Problems in Rural Areas, which gathered much support among country people, but was ignored elsewhere.
In this film, he expresses his concerns for the future of rural communities as farmers are driven off the land and family farms are in decline. With four farmers a week committing suicide, rural life is far from the idyll it can seem to outsiders. Producer Sue Davidson

The second of two films on the morality of punishment. A Cure for Crime. Can punishment ever fit a crime? Back in the 1960s, some optimistic reforms set out to "cure" criminals, but often violated prisoners' rights.
Now reform regimes are less idealistic, but are they more fair? In this film, prisoners from
Britain and America speak out about their experiences. It ends on the island of Alcatraz prison, now a tourist attraction. Is there a glamour to crime that we are reluctant to take into account?
