    We love our mobile phones and the selection between different models has never been bigger. But the production of phones has a dark, bloody side. The main part of minerals used to produce phones is coming from the mines in the Eastern DR Congo. The Western World is buying these so-called conflict minerals and thereby finances a civil war that, according to human rights organisations, has been the bloodiest conflict since World War II: During the last 15 years the conflict has cost the lives of more than 5 million people and 300,000 women have been raped. The war will continue as long as armed groups can finance their warfare by selling minerals. The Documentary Blood in the Mobile shows the connection between our phones and the civil war in the Congo. Director Frank Poulsen travels to DR Congo to see the illegal mine industry with his own eyes. He gets access to Congo's largest tin-mine, which is being controlled by different armed groups, and where children work for days in narrow mine tunnels to dig out the minerals that end up in our phones.

    Watermark is a feature documentary film that brings together diverse stories from around the globe about our relationship with water: how we are drawn to it what we learn from it how we use it and the consequences of that use. We see massive floating abalone farms off China's Fujian coast and the construction site of the biggest arch dam in the world - the Xiluodu six times the size of the Hoover. We visit the barren desert delta where the mighty Colorado River no longer reaches the ocean and the water-intensive leather tanneries of Dhaka. We witness how humans are drawn to water from the U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach to the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad where thirty million people gather for a sacred bath in the Ganges at the same time. We speak with scientists who drill ice cores two kilometers deep into the Greenland Ice Sheet and roam the sublime pristine watersheds of Northern British Columbia. Shot in stunning 5K ultra high-definition video and full of soaring aerial perspectives this film shows water as a terraforming element and the scale of its reach as well as the magnitude of our need and use. Watermark immerses the viewer in a world defined by a magnificent force of nature that we all too often take for granted - until it's gone. Directed by multiple award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal and renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky Watermark is the third part of Burtynsky's Water project which includes a book Burtynsky: Water and a major photographic exhibition.

    It is accepted that show people were the first to use caravans or living vans for their accomodation as they travelled around the country. Smaller vans were made in the hundreds for workmen to use as temporary accomodation as they worked in the fields on the roads or laying and maintaining the ever expanding railway system. In the twentieth century caravans began to be used for pleasure and sites began to spring up all around the coast and at other popular resorts. Alternatively with a caravan attached to their car holiday makers had the freedom to wander the country at will moving from place to place. In this programme we look at a cross section of vans some dating back over a hundred years to the luxury homes of today.
