Épisode 1 - Returning the Stolen

18 juillet 2010

Children stolen by their parents' killersduring Argentina's dictatorship are finally being reunited with their families. Imagine being told your parents are not your real parents. Even worse, the people who raised you had in fact helped to kidnap, torture and murder your real mum and dad. It's the truth facing as many as 500 people born during the late 1970s in Argentina, when the country's military dictatorship detained and killed thousands of political opponents. After their parents 'disappeared', the children were given away to supporters of the dictatorship to raise as their own. Video journalist David O'Shea has been to meet a group of determined grandmothers leading the fight to reunite those children with what's left of their families, and he hears the stories of some of the 101 stolen babies reunited so far.

Épisode 2 - Toppling Tehran

25 juillet 2010

The images of brutaility on Iran’s streets made headlines around the world a year ago, as huge protests took place in Tehran over the disputed election of President Ahmadinejad. But a new investigation shows that all was not well within the country’s leadership too… three members of Iran’s military elite, who have since fled the country, have told of deep rifts and open dissent in the ranks. They also describe the measures used to crush the protesters, including rape and torture, and the leaders with a plane on standby to get them out of the country if their regime collapsed. The men were tracked down in Turkey and Thailand by UK-based Guardian Films and The Bureau of Investigative Journalism.

Épisode 3 - Spy vs Spy

25 juillet 2010

The Middle East Peace Crisis has played out very publicly over the years, but the details of a behind-the-scenes world of spying and secrecy are also coming to light. As video journalist Sophie McNeill reports, it’s a tale of undercover assassinations, bugged cars and clandestine meetings. Experts say the disclosures are the unravelling of a huge Israeli spy network in neighbouring countries like Lebanon and Syria. But exactly what can be traced back to the Israeli Government and its Mossad intelligence agency? And what’s their response?

Épisode 4 - Inside WikiLeaks

1 août 2010

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange stunned the world this week when he leaked more than 90,000 secret Afghan war files. Dateline's Mark Davis was filming as Assange prepared to release his massive cache of highly classified US documents and as he weathered the media storm that followed. The documents reveal hundreds of civilian casualties, secret hit squads to track and kill Taliban leaders, a steep increase in Taliban attacks, and collusion between Pakistan's intelligence service and the Taliban leadership. Davis first connected with the mysterious whistleblower in Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Australia for a story broadcast in May, called The Whistleblower. This time he has been filming in London where Assange was working with journalists from The Guardian, The New York Times and Germany's Der Spiegel. The release of the documents has rocked the White House and drawn comment from Australia's Prime Minister Julia Gillard. Some of the classified reports refer to Australia's military operations in Afghanistan. In a move that will further shake governments and top military brass around the world, WikiLeaks says they have delayed the release of a further 15,000 reports, but these will eventually be released in full.

Épisode 5 - The Living Dead

1 août 2010

They’re known as Argentina’s ‘living dead’… people who’ve become addicted to the drug, paco. They wander the slums of Buenos Aires desperately looking for money and their next fix. Paco is made from the impure waste of cocaine production and sells for less than a dollar a packet. Some addicts need up to a hundred hits a day, with devastating consequences for them and their families. Video journalist David O’Shea meets some of the Mothers Against Paco, who’ve joined forces to try and save their children from the drug and the violent culture that goes with it. And he talks to the director of the film, Paco, about how the problem is moving from the slums to Argentina’s middle classes. But there is also some hope amid the desperation.

Épisode 6 - White Revenge

8 août 2010

The murder of South African white supremacist Eugene Terreblanche has reignited divisions between white and black in a reminder of the country’s bitter struggle over apartheid. Zoé de Bussière reports from Terreblanche's home town of Ventersdorp in the aftermath of the killing, as two black men appear in court charged with his murder. She sees first-hand the hatred between the two communities, which frequently threatens to turn violent.

Épisode 7 - Iraq's Deadly Legacy

15 août 2010

The number of babies born with severe deformities and children developing leukaemia is rising dramatically in parts of Iraq. US forces used depleted uranium weapons to attack the city in the war, which locals say has left them with this devastating legacy. One report even says the number of such illnesses in Falluja is higher than that recorded after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Walkley Award winning video journalist Fouad Hady returns to his home country to see some of the deformed and desperately ill children, and meets some of the people battling against the odds to rebuild their lives, and their city.

Épisode 8 - Behind Enemy Lines

22 août 2010

Norwegian journalist Paul Refsdal risked his life to become the first Westerner to film behind Taliban lines in Afghanistan, and see the war between the allied forces and the insurgency from the Taliban’s viewpoint. Now Dateline brings you his remarkable story, as Paul witnesses several ambushes of US troops on the Khyber Pass, and films celebrations over the death of a US soldier. But he also captures a human side of the Taliban, as insurgents relax, pray, eat together, and look after the children of Taliban commander, Dawran. Paul comes under threat himself too, as a US gunship attacks and he’s kidnapped by one of the Taliban group which took him in.

Épisode 9 - Mr Controversial

29 août 2010

Many people would probably dismiss Dutch politician Geert Wilders as a right-wing extremist for his anti-Islam manifesto, in which he says Islam is retarded and vows to ban the Koran. But his ‘Freedom Party’ has come from the fringe of politics to gain significant support in the Dutch Parliament, increasing its seats to 24, placing him in a position where he could now decide the future of Holland’s government. Like Australia, the Netherlands has a hung parliament. At first the parties said they wouldn’t negotiate with Wilders, but after two months of failed talks, he may now have the deciding vote on who rules the country. Video journalist Mark Davis tries to get inside the mind of this controversial politician as he works under 24 hour protection to spread his word in the Netherlands, and prepares to travel to the United States to pass on his anti-Islam message at the September 11th anniversary in New York.

Épisode 12 - Poverty Games

5 septembre 2010

As India prepares a show of wealth at the Commonwealth Games, Dateline reports on the poor who say they're missing out in the race for riches. India is preparing to welcome the world to the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, but behind the show of wealth, at what's being dubbed the most expensive games in history, Dateline's Yalda Hakim discovers a different story. Thousands of slums have been demolished and the residents moved to outside the city, while the poor earn a few dollars a day building luxurious apartments for competitors, which will eventually sell for up to a million dollars. Out in the slums of Mumbai, Yalda finds children as young as five combing polluted rivers and dirty alleyways for junk they can sell to survive, amid claims that money has been diverted away from schemes to fight poverty to pay for the games.

Épisode 13 - Tunnel Vision Gaza

12 septembre 2010

It has to be one of the world’s worst jobs… digging the tunnels under the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt to smuggle supplies across the border into the Palestinian enclave. With the constant threat of bombs and collapse, French filmmaker Alexis Monchovet follows Palestinian tunnel workers as they work in the dead of night to move bag after bag of goods through the narrow winding passageways. The trade continues even though the Israeli blockade has been partially lifted and the crossing from Egypt into Gaza opened since nine activists were killed on a recent peace flotilla. Israel often bombs and destroys the tunnels, but the workers somehow manage to smile through as they build more and keep the goods and their own black market economy moving.

Épisode 14 - Future Fear

12 septembre 2010

Killer comets, global tsunamis and super volcanoes might sound like the stuff of science fiction, but some people in the United States are taking such threats to the planet extremely seriously. Video journalist David Brill has been to meet the Kramer family in California, who've already bought space in an underground shelter, ready for the 'cataclysmic disaster' they believe could happen when a 'galactic alignment' takes place in 2012. He also meets shelter owner, Robert Vicino, whose website counts down the seconds to the end of the world, and offers space in his hotel-style solution to survival for tens of thousands of dollars per person. Others are approaching the future differently, believing the biggest threats we're facing are problems that we've caused ourselves. Richard Heinberg is one of the world's foremost peak oil experts, who warns that we're addicted to fossil fuels and must adapt before they run out. David takes us to a Los Angeles suburb to meet the Dervaes family of so-called 'urban homesteaders'. They've already adapted and are living self-sufficiently and almost entirely off-grid. But are they all being over cautious, or will the rest of us be under prepared?

Épisode 15 - Reds Return

19 septembre 2010

Épisode 16 - Guardian Angels

26 septembre 2010

Meet the parajumpers risking their lives to rescue seriously wounded soldiers from the Afghan battlefield. When soldiers are injured on the frontline in Afghanistan, it's the para jumpers that have to go in by helicopter and rescue them from the battlefield. It's a nightmare job - retrieving horribly injured colleagues, while coming under more attack themselves. Sean Smith from The Guardian spent a month and a half in Afghanistan, seeing first-hand what they have to go through and getting a no holds barred look at life on the frontline. He also followed United States marines on foot patrol, in 55 degree heat and under frequent attack; they're trying to reach Pakistan to secure the border, but it's taken them a year to move just 20 kilometres.

Épisode 17 - Justice in Exile

3 octobre 2010

Meet the Iranian lawyer, forced into exileafter defendinga womansentenced todeath by stoning. The most well-known political exile in the world right now has to be Mohammad Mostafaei, the Iranian lawyer who spoke out against Tehran's plans to stone an allegedly adulterous woman to death. But as he fought for Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani's life, he found himself forced to flee his beloved Iran and President Ahmadinejad's regime in an effort to save himself and his young family. Now exiled in Norway, he speaks to video journalist Yalda Hakim about saving scores of people from execution in Iran, his journey of survival and his plans to continue fighting for the rights of Iranian women and children.

Épisode 18 - Learning Liberty

10 octobre 2010

Dateline gets unique access to a school for young defectors from repressive North Korea, who arrive without the skills needed to survive in the modern world. There are 20,000 defectors from North Korea in South Korea, but escape from the repressive communist regime in the North is only the start of their battle for a better life. As video journalist Amos Roberts discovers, defectors arrive without the skills they need to survive in one of the world's most technologically advanced and competitive societies. Amos was given unique access to a special school set up for young defectors to help them adjust. They talk about their old lives in North Korea - stories of famine, public executions and dramatic escapes; and the challenges of their new lives - relentless study and an uncertain future. We also revisit one of Dateline's most celebrated stories, a report 10 years ago about defectors living in hiding in China, and catch up with a woman who has now made it to South Korea. Her family is reunited and she feels safe for the first time - but is life in the South all she hoped it would be?

Épisode 19 - Power Struggle

17 octobre 2010

The Sydney Morning Herald's Paul McGeoughasksif Iraq's oil reserves will shape its future for the better, orcause more problems for the fragile country. Can the huge reservoirs of oil under Iraq bring it prosperity and security at last? Or will it further divide the country between those who have the oil and wealth, and those that don't? Sydney Morning Herald Chief Correspondent Paul McGeough tries to find the answers in a special guest report for Dateline. He's been speaking to those in charge of turning round the country and its oil industry, and meeting the ordinary Iraqis struggling with chronic electricity, gas and water shortages, all in scorching 50 degree heat. They all tell of a crumbling infrastructure, security concerns, corruption and still no government at the top to get things moving - locals describe themselves as 'powerless' in every sense.

Épisode 20 - Muddy Hell

24 octobre 2010

A dozen villages have been swallowed up by a volcano of mud in Indonesia, but four years on from the start of the eruption, the dispute over what's causing it bubbles on. Some experts say a drilling accident at a nearby gas site has caused gas to constantly push mud to the surface from a depth of 3,000 metres, but the energy giant Lapindo Brantas blames an earthquake. The company was cleared of responsibility by Indonesia's Supreme Court last year, but was still ordered to pay compensation. People in East Java though say they've seen little help. Video journalist Adrian Brown visits the vast lake of mud, which can even be seen from space, to hear the blame game that's left villagers living in makeshift huts and an ecological disaster that seems to be growing bigger by the day.

Épisode 21 - Burma´s Betrayal

31 octobre 2010

Burma's election on 7th November has been described by world leaders as a 'sham', 'deeply flawed' and 'lacking credibility', and Dateline has arranged for hidden cameras in Burma to capture vision and interviews to prove it. Over two months, the Democratic Voice of Burma gathered evidence of elaborate election rigging to ensure the military maintains power; strict controls and surveillance of political parties and meetings; and punishment for anyone speaking out in opposition. This is on top of the ban on foreign journalists entering Burma, which meant video journalist Evan Williams had to meet his contacts in Thailand to put together his report. He also follows the efforts by human rights groups to broadcast to people inside Burma to try and break the military's control of information and ultimately its 50 year rule.

Épisode 22 - Kyrgyzstan in Crisis

7 novembre 2010

In June this year, hundreds of people were killed and thousands were displaced in ethnic clashes in the Central Asian region of Kyrgyzstan. The violence prompted Kuranda Seyit, an Australian with Uzbek heritage, to travel to Kyrgyzstan to find out more about the killings. He discovered burned-out buildings, scores of fresh graves, and obtained secretly-filmed video of violent attacks, which he smuggled back to Australia. Kuranda spoke to Dateline about his journey, and provided us with the hidden-camera footage for a view of what happened.

Épisode 23 - Congo - War and Peace

7 novembre 2010

As UN peacekeepers begin preparations for leaving their largest and most expensive mission - in the Democratic Republic of Congo - there are sharply differing views on how well-equipped that African nation is to fend for itself against violent militia groups there. The Congolese government has requested that United Nations peacekeepers withdraw in 2011, but many fear that the withdrawal of the 'Blue Helmets' will lead to an escalation of fighting in a conflict that has already led to the deaths of more than five million people. Reporter Sam Benstead, from the UK-based ORTV, travelled to Congo to see for himself how well prepared the country is for the UN's departure. His report raises the question: can Congo really stand alone or could the UN's departure push the country towards a new humanitarian catastrophe?

Épisode 24 - The Condemned

14 novembre 2010

Replay Dateline's 2010 interview with two of the Bali Nine, as they speak publicly for the first time about their crimes and facing the death penalty Two of the Bali Nine have been speaking publicly for the first time; just days ahead of final hearings on whether their death sentences for drug trafficking will be carried out. Dateline reporter Mark Davis gained exclusive access to Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan in the 'death tower' at Indonesia's Kerobokan Prison. They talk openly about their lives then and now, what they think of their crimes, and the prospect of facing death by firing squad. Mark also hears first-hand of the heartache for their families back in Australia, as they wait to hear if their pleas for clemency will be granted. Mark's report was one of the finalists in the 2011 Logie Awards, in the category of Most Outstanding Public Affairs Report.

Épisode 25 - The Unwanted

21 novembre 2010

Just a few kilometres from the gleaming centre of Paris, live some of France's 400,000 Roma people, or gypsies, but for how much longer? French President Nicolas Sarkozy wants to clear them off the streets and out of the country - they're being forcibly removed from their illegal campsites and paid to return to their native Romania or Bulgaria. But the move has prompted worldwide criticism and accusations of ethnic cleansing. 95% of them hold French citizenship, but are excluded from working and claiming benefits, and they ask where they're supposed to go and how they're supposed to survive. Filmmaker Alexis Monchovet has been out on the streets of Paris to capture their struggle against poverty and persecution, in a story narrated by Victoria Strobl.

Épisode 26 - Ghost Ship

21 novembre 2010

Dateline video journalist Nick Lazaredes has an international tale of intrigue that's worthy of a spy novel; It concerns a nondescript Maltese cargo vessel called the MV Arctic Sea, which was reportedly hijacked off Sweden and later disappeared. But if it was really carrying nothing more than a load of Finnish timber, why was the Russian Navy sent to find it? Could Israeli forces have intercepted it, concerned that weapons on board were being taken from Russia to the Middle East to be used against them? And how did it end up off Cape Verde in West Africa, when it should have been heading for Algeria?

Épisode 1 - Assange Speaks

13 février 2011

Video journalist Mark Davis’s unprecedented access to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange continues, with an exclusive interview for Dateline with the Australian whistleblower. He tells Mark he believes the Gillard Government is secretly providing the United States with information about Australians working with the whistleblowing group. WikiLeaks' role in sparking the turmoil in Egypt and Tunisia and his soured relations with The New York Times and The Guardian also come under scrutiny. And he speaks about this week’s extradition hearing in London, over Sweden’s request to question him over sexual assault allegations, which he strenuously denies. So what’s next for the man who’s become the face of WikiLeaks?

21 mai 2013

Yemen is addicted to chewing the narcotic leaf khat, but is it having too much influence on the country's economy, environment and future? Is Yemen a nation under the influence of drugs? Narcotic khat leaves are part of everyday life; the entire country slows down each afternoon as people young and old chew the leaves to gain a legal high. In the markets of the capital Sana'a, Fouad Hady finds rows of stalls selling bags of the leaves, while in the countryside entire farms have been given over to growing them. According to some estimates, the amount of locally grown food has dropped from 95% to just 8% in recent decades, alongside a worrying drop in the water table to irrigate the growing plants. As well as economic and environmental concerns, opponents are also highlighting the social effects, with increased illness and dependence even among children. But in a country so hooked on khat, will anyone be able to turn the concerns into action? Or will it end up being a plant that sends Yemen into more turmoil?

23 septembre 2014

When Dateline normally interviews world leaders, the setting is a grand presidential palace or imposing parliament building, but not for David O'Shea's profile of Uruguayan President José Mujica. The 79-year-old still lives in the ramshackle one bedroom farmhouse he's shared with his wife for 30 years, and as chickens peck round the garden chairs, he gives his very progressive take on world affairs. The former guerrilla leader, who spent 13 years in prison, has legalised gay marriage and marijuana, and courted controversy by agreeing with Barack Obama to accept prisoners from Guantanamo Bay. He and his wife, Senator Lucia Topolansky, have become a formidable force in Uruguyan politics, but after donating 90% of his salary to charity, he's happy to drive home in his trusty old VW Beetle to tend to his animals. In a world where politicians aren't always held in high esteem, could this man of the people be showing the way forward? And when his term ends in March 2015, will his successor be following in his footsteps? A few weeks after this story was broadcast, an Arab sheikh reportedly offered President Mujica $1 million for his old Volkswagen. The president is said to have indicated that he will sell it, but would give all the money to charity.

17 mars 2015

In December 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza entered Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and killed 26 children and adults with a Bushmaster rifle before taking his own life with a handgun. The tragedy shocked the United States, sparking an outpouring of grief and widespread calls from the public for politicians to ‘do something’ about guns. The moment, it seemed, was ready for gun control advocates to seize, but like many times before, they ran into intense opposition from a powerful political force: the National Rifle Association (NRA). Drawing on interviews with leading voices on both sides of the gun regulation debate, Gunned Down goes inside one of the country’s greatest divides to illuminate how the NRA reinvented itself from a group of gun enthusiasts and sportsmen with minimal political focus, to a powerful lobbying force opposing any perceived infringement of the constitutional right to bear arms. It traces the emergence of one of the NRA’s top leaders, Wayne LaPierre, and explores how he has activated the group’s influential base in the wake of mass shootings. And with firsthand accounts of school killings in Newtown and Columbine, as well as the shooting of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, Gunned Down examines why Washington hasn’t acted.
