It is four years since the United Nations spent two billion pounds in what was hailed as a successful mission to bring peace and democracy to war-torn Cambodia. But, in July this year, the elections were overturned in a bloody coup. Once again, UN human-rights workers are digging up bodies in Cambodian fields. The man accused of the atrocities is the new ruler, Hun Sen.
Film-maker Phil Rees uses his access to Hun Sen to assess whether Cambodia's future under his rule holds the likelihood of being any less bloody than its murderous past.
For conductor Ben Zander, music is not just a matter of notes or technique, more a method of communicating the language of the soul, arguing that the way music is absorbed or performed can shape attitudes and change approaches to life.
This documentary follows Zander from the concert hall to the boardroom as he applies his beliefs to his roles as musician and consultant to the business community. His goal is to get artists and executives alike to live life on the edge or, as he puts it, "on one buttock".
