On 1 September 2004, Chechen separatist terrorists seized a school in the remote North Ossetian town of Beslan. Three days later, a gun battle between the hostage-takers and Russian security forces ended in the brutal massacre of over 300 people, many of them children. In this moving documentary, young survivors, many of whom lost friends and relatives in appalling circumstances, recall the siege and the desperate weeks that followed, sharing their thoughts on politics, religion and the "war on terror".

2/5. Resat Yagdi lives with his wife and three children in a Kurdish village in south-east Turkey. Polygamy, though outlawed by the government, is common in this Muslim region, and Resat plans to take a local girl, Ayse, as a second wife. But first he must build her a new home and pay her parents a substantial bride price, leaving him some E18,000 out of pocket. This documentary gives a fascinating insight into a part of the world where women are seen as economic assets and "honour killings" and inbreeding are rife - facts the authorities are keen to hide as they negotiate entry into the European Union.
