La Frontera The borderlands between Mexico and the United States are a lawless wasteland where massacres, drug busts and battles between the military and drug-traffickers happen regularly. Juarez has one of the highest murder rates in the world, including more than 100 young women whose random murders can't be explained or solved. Colm McNaughton journeys through La Frontera to piece together the different aspects of this complex, sad and violent story.

Doosra: The life and times of an Indian student in Australia How a huge army of badly paid, badly housed, badly educated foreign students became Australia's third biggest export industry. According to former Liberal MP Bruce Baird shonky private colleges set up to exploit overseas students are no more than 'permanent residency factories'. The recently released Baird Review calls for a crackdown. But for many who've already experienced the reality of a teaching system that has morphed into one of the country's dodgiest rackets it's too late. In this illustrated essay Indian-Australian writer Roanna Gonsalves records her personal journey, beginning with the glossy promises of an Australian education expo in Mumbai.

Lost in my head Imagine for a minute how it would be to emerge from unconsciousness, and to be unaware of who you are, or where you are, and to be overwhelmed by a sense of disorientation and confusion. That's how it was for two women who describe their experience of surviving strokes. Telling their stories isn't easy for Teresa and Wendy - some of the details have gone, or are blurred, because of the brain damage they've sustained, but this is their account of putting the pieces of the story, and their lives, back together. Brian and Norm - a love story Putting someone you love into a nursing home is heartbreaking for anyone but imagine visiting the person you´ve shared most of your life with and not being able to show them any affection. When Brian put his partner of over fifty years into a Catholic nursing home he knew it was the best option – his partner was originally from Italy and had a strong Catholic heritage – but fear of anti-gay prejudice has kept him from showing the natural affection of a life spent together. This is a story of the everyday things that bring two lives together, and the terrible loneliness once they have been separated. Since this program was made Norm passed away, peacefully in Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.

Strappers We´re entering a world where people rise in the middle of the night to begin work and nobody complains about the weather; where the most important creatures aren´t humans but their 500 kilogram charges. It´s the dirty and hard working world of strappers, a poorly paid band of optimists, chancers and racehorse lovers from every nationality. The lucky secret to success In Hong Kong much of life is governed by the five factors of destiny, luck, feng shui, charity and education. When producer Erin Bowland moved from Australia to Hong Kong she prepared for a transition from a laid-back lifestyle to one of efficiency and hard work. But she learned the Chinese believe there are many secrets to success and, to attain it, help is often needed from elements beyond your control. She spoke to psychologists, feng shui masters, professors, and local people, to understand what makes her new neighbours tick.

Bypassing Bulahdelah The tiny NSW town of Bulahdelah argued for two years over a $300 million by-pass of the Pacific Highway. On the one side were Aboriginal protesters and environmentalists, and on the other were locals concerned about the economic future of their town and the carnage on a deadly section of the Pacific Highway. Then came a mysterious bushfire, deliberately lit, which could have served the interests of any one of a number of groups involved in the story. A local, Lachlan Colquhoun, rakes over the coals of this controversy. Rohan You Bastard Rohana Samarasekera is a policeman in the tiny border town of Hungerford in South East Queensland. 'Rohan', as everyone from Cunnamulla to Thargomindah affectionately knows him, is widely liked and respected and he loves the country, the people and the job. His unusual background: Sri Lankan immigrant, engineer, aspirant politician and health food retailer, has contributed to his skills and his philosophy of wanting to help people - both of which have endeared him to the locals.
