scandal and divorce is unheard of. The weddings are visual spectacles: girls parade into<br />

church in enormous dresses that sometimes weigh more than the bride herself. (Big fat<br />

gypsy weddings – CH4, United Kingdom) Pastor Lee was both a priest and a doctor by<br />

profession. He sought areas that had been bombed to offer comfort and heal the<br />

wounded. He built a school to rescue children who were being hauled off to war. He<br />

helped them dream of a future and brought music into their lives by creating a brass<br />

band which gave them hope and confidence. When he passed away, the Sudanese felt<br />

great grief for the man who had been like a father to them. (Don't cry for me Sudan –<br />

problems that every small and ancient town in the world deals with: abandonment of its<br />

Science, environment<br />

The Arctic is the harshest environment on Earth: little food grows, it’s dark for months<br />

on end, and temperatures stay well below freezing for much of the year. Yet four million<br />

people manage to survive here. Human Planet tells remarkable stories of extraordinary<br />

people who make their homes in nature's deep freeze. Amos and Karl-Frederik are two<br />

protagonists of this episode who set out across the sea ice with their dogs to catch a<br />

real-life sea monster: a Greenland shark! (Human Planet - Arctic: Life in the deep freeze –<br />

BBC, United Kingdom). It was 400 years ago when Galileo Galilei opened the window to<br />

commemorate these scientific milestones, the UN declared 2009 the "International Year<br />

of Astronomy". The documentary tells the little known story of the curious relationship<br />

between the two world famous scientists: a parallel tale of admiration and rivalry from a<br />

time when the disciplines of religion, art and science had yet to be separated (When the<br />

sun stands still - Kepler, Galileo and the heavens – ORF, Austria). The memorable<br />

the surrounding areas of the then USSR territory. The docu-drama reconstructs the four<br />

days following the disaster from the point of view of the Polish communist political and<br />

military circles, alarmed by the medical scientific center in Warsaw, as well as the<br />

reactions of foreign journalists based in Moscow. (Chernobyl – Four days in April – TVP,<br />

Poland) Stories of war that left deep wounds in the protagonists psyche, obsessive<br />

nightmares, anguish, suicide attempts… during four long years and changing their<br />

lives forever. Men, women, soldiers, reporters, NGO workers, war professionals: nobody<br />

sickness, so widespread… and such a taboo.(No visible sign – FR2, France). The Jialasa<br />
