For decades, the Muslim Brotherhood was an outlawed organization, marginalized and persecuted. Today, along with the Salafists and other Muslim groups, they are the principal winners of the Arab revolutions. They believe in a "Turkish model" of Islamic rule, and their speech is well-crafted to avoid scaring away the West. But what kind of policies do they want to introduce? Should political Islam be feared? Abdel Hakim Belhadj, leader of the Islamic al-Watan Party in Libya, has long been on the CIA's radar. In Morocco, radical preacher Sheikh Mohamad Fizazi is enjoying a comeback. And in Syria, insurgents are fighting to introduce Sharia law. From Libya to Morocco to Syria, this program investigates the new parties jostling for power.

A film about cults and the the indomitable human soul.

Most prison documentaries focus on the inmates. This sobering program features guards and prisoners alike, giving the viewer two interpretations of life at Ohio's Warren Correctional Institution. From the smallest detail-how cellmates rig a shabby partition around their toilet-to the cynicism and frontline sociology with which the corrections officers analyze their surroundings, the video clearly elucidates the effects of prolonged monotony and confinement on the human spirit. As one officer puts it, "Eight hours a day, I'm locked up here too."

Surrealist cinema sought to break with the conventional linear narrative style in favor of chance events and a world of the subconscious. This penetrating program featuring Alan Williams, author of Republic of Images: A History of French Filmmaking, analyzes the origin, evolution, and legacy of a cinematic movement whose stylistic artifacts can still be found in today's mass culture. Background on Dadaism-and the seismic historical events that gave birth to it-sets the stage for a nuanced discussion of Surrealism and its use of cinema to best express the movement's vision during its heyday and since. Key figures of Dadaism and Surrealism are highlighted, as are important films such as La Coquille et le Clergyman, L'Étoile de Mer, and Buñuel's iconic Un Chien Andalou and L'Âge d'Or.

In this series, Adam Rutherford looks at the work of second century anatomist of the Roman Empire, Claudius Galen. Galen used first hand experience to describe his anatomical observations in writing so detailed that later Persian translations included illustrations. After the fall of Constantiople, classical works influenced Renaissance thinkers and artists like Leonardo da Vinci, who also performed dissections to discover how the human body works. Following Galen's evidence based investigation, Andreas Vesalius performed public dissections in Padua, noting in detailed illustrations and descriptions the human skeleton, muscles, nerves, organ and brain. His illustrations were classically posed before a landscape, showing a body in motion. Vesalius is known as the Founder of Modern Anatomy because of his "De Humani Corporis Fabrica" (The Fabric of the Human Body), that is as artful as it is accurate.

Its proponents cite an efficacy rate better than any anti-depressive drug on the market; its detractors say it is an electrical lobotomy.

While following the ongoing treatments of a 30-year-old mother of two, the program provides interviews with people on both sides of the issue, such as Dr. Peter Breggin, a psychiatrist and outspoken critic of ECT, and Roland Kohloff, the New York Philharmonic's chief timpanist, who claims ECT saved both his life and his son's life.

From anti-Islam protesters to Taliban extremists, BAFTA-winning reporter Mobeen Azhar travels from England to Pakistan to meet with those who are attacking mainstream, moderate Islam's place in the modern world. In recent years, we have witnessed the rapid rise of Islamic extremists across the world who have endorsed a violent mix of politics and theology. This in turn has fueled negative stereotypes of Islam as a religion of violence and conflict. But why have these radical beliefs gained such traction, and how are Muslims around the world fighting back to reclaim their faith from extremist interpretation and to counter those who see Islam as incompatible with Western values? In the first episode of the award-winning Power and Piety series, British-Pakistani reporter and filmmaker Mobeen Azhar investigates the threats facing the peaceful practice of Islam today and explores the real stories behind the alarming headlines.

Buddhism is often associated with teachings of non-violence and compassion, but in Myanmar, hardline Buddhist nationalists are being blamed for inciting violence against the stateless Rohingya Muslim minority. Azhar uncovers how ultra-nationalist groups such as Ma Ba Tha and the Mynamar Nationalist Network are campaigning for religious and ethnic purity, stoking up fears of the perceived 'Islamization' of the country. Through discussions with key figures including controversial nationalist leaders Win Ko Ko Latt and Ashin Wirathu, as well as Burmese Minister of Religious Affairs Thura Aung Ko and local people affected across the country, Azhar explores the simmering ethnic and religious tensions underlying this ongoing conflict.
