Asbestdöden

noemail@noemail.org (/ Through IFC -International Feature Conference) — Sun, 4 Mar 2018 17:03:00 GMT

Dammet från asbesten orsakade cancer och svåra andningsbesvär. Ledningen på eternitfabriken i Lomma visste om farorna men sa ingenting. Sveriges största arbetsmiljöskandal är ett faktum.

I september 1979 dör fabriksarbetaren Gunnar Nilsson på sjukhuset i Lund. Han har diagnosticerats med asbestos, en sjukdom som gör att lungorna stelnar och man får svårt att andas. Gunnar har jobbat 42 år på eternitfabriken i Lomma, som är den största i sitt slag i Sverige och under 70 år tillverkas det eternitprodukter där som säljs över hela världen. Eternit är en blandning mellan asbest och cement, ett material som ska hålla för evigt. Under decennier har arbetarna andats in farligt asbestdam utan att ha blivit informerad om farorna och när fabriken stänger 1977 visar det sig att hundratals arbetare blivit sjuka eller dött efter att ha jobbat där. Ledningen visste om farorna med dammet. Men sa ingenting. Reporter: Anna Landelius Producent: Arvid Hallberg Mixning: Mattias Miselli Programmet spelades in 2018.

Barnen i Nordiska motståndsrörelsen

noemail@noemail.org (/ Through IFC -International Feature Conference) — Sun, 4 Mar 2018 14:03:00 GMT

Nazistiska Nordiska motståndsrörelsens mål är att växa och införa ett nazistiskt styre i Sverige. I organisationen växer en grupp barn upp barn som uppfostras till att bli nazister.

I dokumentären berättar mammor som står utanför NMR om hur deras barn har det. Barn som delvis växer upp i en nazistisk miljö. Barnens egna ord är hämtade från olika dokument och intervjuer med anhöriga. Vi har också intervjuat en vuxen dotter till en sympatisör till NMR. Vi får också möta 90-åriga Vera Oredsson som idag är hedersmedlem i NMR och som själv har tre barn. Hon är en levande länk mellan det nazistiska Tyskland och den svenska nazismen idag. I programmet förekommer våldsbejakade, rasistiska och antidemokratiska uttalanden och uttalanden som strider mot principen om alla människors lika värde. Sveriges Radio tar avstånd från den typen av uttalanden. Vi har valt att ändå ta med dem, eftersom de ger en förklaring till hur personer inom Nordiska motståndsrörelsen resonerar.

Sierra Leone: Blood Mining

noemail@noemail.org (/ Through IFC -International Feature Conference) — Thu, 1 Mar 2018 13:32:00 GMT

In 2010, a UK-listed company began developing a mining concession in Sierra Leone it said could transform the economic fortunes of the local population. But instead of benefiting the most immediate communities, hundreds found their homes destroyed, their livelihoods uprooted. And among the people who protested, many found themselves violently beaten and detained, and in one or two cases shot at and killed. Ed Butler investigates some of the untold stories of one of west Africa’s most dramatic recent abuses of corporate power. We hear from those who suffered, investigate allegations of police brutality, and look at the supposedly well-regulated system of corporate governance which was supposed to prevent abuses taking place. Presenter: Ed Butler Producer: Anna Meisel Editor: Penny Murphy

De vill störta demokratin och väntar på ett raskrig. Robert, Esa Henrik och Martin har varit med i Sveriges största nazistiska organisation. Varför gick de med? Vad händer när de vill hoppa av?

I arbetet med det här programmet har vi varit i kontakt med ett tiotal personer som har lämnat nazistiska Nordiska motståndsrörelsen (NMR). Några är rädda för konsekvenserna ifall de pratar. Andra säger att de redan har blivit hotade. Den som berättar om sin tid i organisationen stämplas som förrädare. De hoppas såklart att dagen ska komma när de når makten och kan göra upp med förrädarna. Att hänga dem, som de ropar i sina demonstrationer. Att döda förrädarna, det är såklart vad de vill, säger Esa Henrik Holappa, tidigare chef för organisationens finska gren. Sveriges Radio har kartlagt Nordiska motståndsrörelsen. I två program ska vi höra personer som själva levt eller lever inuti det som av många beskrivs som en nazistisk sekt. Det här är det första programmet i en serie av två. I programmet förekommer våldsbejakade, rasistiska och antidemokratiska uttalanden. Sveriges Radio tar avstånd från den typen av uttalanden.

Tom Banks is 23, gay and searching for love. He grew up relatively isolated on a farm just outside of Geelong in Victoria, Australia, and as a teenager turned to internet chat rooms to meet others. Over the years, Tom has become somewhat of an expert when it comes to meeting guys online. And he's learned that when you're online, you can be whoever you want to be. So who is the real Tom Banks?

Crushing Dissent in Egypt

noemail@noemail.org (/ Through IFC -International Feature Conference) — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 14:00:00 GMT

A well-known blogger and activist jailed for a peaceful protest, a young man imprisoned and tortured for wearing the wrong T- shirt, a young woman abducted by masked police, and now among more than a thousand people who have been forcibly disappeared – these are just some of the alarming stories from the new Egypt. Orla Guerin has spent the last four years reporting from Cairo where she has witnessed a systematic assault on freedoms and human rights. The country's ruler, former army chief, President Abdel Fatah al Sisi is standing for re-election (next month) in a climate of fear and intimidation. Seven years after the euphoria in Tahrir Square, Orla asks what happened to the hope born during the revolution, and reports on the abuses which campaigners say are at the heart of the Sisi regime.

Japan has the fastest ageing society in the world with more than a quarter of its population over the age of 65. It currently has 66,000 centenarians, more than any other country. Toshiko Katayose and Aki Maruyama Leggett explore some of the innovative ways in which Japanese people are adapting to living longer. For over 20 years Toshiko Katayose edited Japan’s most popular magazine for senior readers. Now 67 and facing retirement, she reveals how her generation of baby-boomers born after World War Two, are overturning stereotypes about old age and how businesses are responding to these more demanding silver consumers. She visits Japan’s first supermarket built specifically to serve older shoppers which offers everything from crystal-studded walking sticks to try-before-you-buy coffin experiences.

I juli 2005 blir London till ett helvete när fyra bomber detonerar i kollektivtrafiken. Det är det första islamistiska terrordådet i Storbritannien och Europa ser ett nytt vapen: självmordsbomber.

På morgonen den 7 juli 2005 reser fyra killar in till London. De är klädda som att de ska campa med stora ryggsäckar. I väskorna ligger hemmagjorda bomber. Samtidigt pågår den vanliga morgonrusningen i Londons kollektivtrafik. Turister åker mot sevärdheter och Londonbor åker mot skolor och jobb. En vanlig dag reser tre miljoner passagerare med Londons tunnelbana. Några av dem som reser med tunnelbanan den här dagen är David Foulkes, Jacqui Putnam och Tim Coulson. Inom loppet av två minuter detonerar tre självmordsbomber på tre olika tunnelbanetåg djupt under markytan. Senare kommer även en röd dubbeldäckare sprängas. Snart står det klart att Storbritannien drabbats av det första islamistiska terrordådet någonsin och att fenomenet med självmordsbombare nu kommit till Europa.

Mordet på Marzieh

I maj 2016 hittas en ung afghansk kvinna, Marzieh, mördad i Hökarängen i Stockholm. Hon hade kommit till Sverige ett knappt år tidigare med en plan: hon ville vara fri, leva ett vanligt liv.

Randi Mossige-Norheim har granskat fallet med Marzieh och letar svar på frågan vad som egentligen hände med tjejen som sökte friheten. Det visar sig att hon var lika skyddslös här i Sverige som hon var i landet hon flydde ifrån. Hennes make, som nu misstänks för mordet, styrde hennes resa till Sverige och övervakade och hotade henne under en lång tid innan hon dog. Men trots att Marzieh hade regelbunden kontakt med en rad myndigheter så var det ingen som märkte hoten. Reza, Marziehs vän från HVB-hemmet i Hökarängen, säger att han nu vill att allt kommer fram: Hon sa ju att det här jag berättar för dig är en hemlighet. Du ska inte berätta för någon annan. Men nu vill jag berätta hela sanningen, för att allting ska komma fram. Producent: Håkan Engström Slutmix: Ludvig Jansson

Ukraine’s Stolen Billions and the Riddle of the Helipad

noemail@noemail.org (/ Through IFC -International Feature Conference) — Thu, 15 Feb 2018 13:45:00 GMT

The Parkovy Conference and Exhibition Centre, a huge modernist structure of concrete and glass, stands boldly on the banks of the Dnieper River in central Kiev, a helipad on the roof. It hosted the official after party for last year’s Eurovision Song Contest and was meant to be a symbol of Ukraine’s economic development. Instead, four years after President Yanukovych was overthrown by a people sick of corruption, it has become a focus of efforts to reclaim the billions of dollars said to have been stolen by the ex-president’s regime. In this edition of Assignment, Tim Whewell attempts to unpick the tangled global web of companies behind the building’s ownership. Who does the helipad actually belong to and what does it tell us about Ukraine’s attempts to bring its corrupt politicians to account?

Goodpath was once an agricultural village but is now home to 61 massive factories and 40,000 migrant workers who came from rural China to better their lives. The migrants work very long hours in poor conditions and then spend the rest of their time in cramped rooms, often sharing living space and beds. However most have been able to buy smart phones from the local mobile phone shop and have set up social media accounts on platforms like QQ, the social media giant in China that provides instant messaging, online social games, music, shopping, microblogging, movies, and group and voice chat software. It is in these online worlds that the rural migrants come close to the modern China they came for.

Madness of War

noemail@noemail.org (/ Through IFC -International Feature Conference) — Fri, 9 Feb 2018 10:19:00 GMT

In a small cold courtyard in Herat in Afghanistan, two former enemies sit chained together. One is a former warlord, the other a Taliban fighter. Both men are dangerous. Both men are suffering from severe psychiatric conditions. The courtyard is where all 300 inmates of Afghanistan’s only secure psychiatric spend their day; men and women who are too dangerous to be treated in a general hospital. Nearly four decades of war have left a terrible legacy of mental health problems in Afghanistan.

Opgejaagd #1. De Schoonmaakmoeder: Hoe goed is het Nederlandse systeem van kinderopvang en basisscholen? Dat vraagt devan oorsprong Zweedse Jennifer Pettersson zich af in de 8-deligeserie Opgejaagd. Radio Doc zendt de komende weken de eerste drie delen uit van deze podcast.Sinds Jennifer kinderen heeft, voelt ze zich een vreemde in Nederland; het land waar baby's opgevangen worden door crèche-leidsters die immuun zijn voor huilgeluiden en waar kleuters dolblij mogen zijn meteen volle minuut aandacht van de juf. Ze vraagt zich af of ze niet beter terug kan gaan naar Zweden, wat in vergelijking met Nederland het paradijs lijkt voor ouders met jonge kinderen. Er is slechts één probleem: haar echtgenoot wil niet mee. - Vensters: \"Het is een soort kijkdoos, je kan helemaal naar binnen kijken.\" \"Het voelt alsof je lekker tv aan het kijken bent.\" Als je door het venster van je huis kijkt, wat zie je dan? Documentairemaker Kenneth Berth, ging met die vraag voor het raam van 6 verschillende Amsterdammers zitten. Amsterdam is een plek waar je \"stukjes maatschappij voorbij ziet dwarrelen\" en \"kan wegdromen achter het roze licht\". \"Het leven komt hier voorbij.\"Maar in dereflectie van je raam, kan je ook soms jezelf zien. \"Iedere regenbui stopt ook weer, maar laat toch een klein laagje achter. Tot je op een gegeven moment denkt, die mevrouw mag haar ramen wel eens zemen.\" 6 verschillende ramen van 6 verschillende Amsterdammers met 6 verschillende uitzichten, dat is 'Vensters', een documentaire van Kenneth Berth.

Fr. Pat Noise died when his carriage plunged into the Liffey in 1919. His death is commemorated by a plaque on O'Connell Bridge, installed without permission by a mysterious group.

Escape from Croatia’s Asylums

noemail@noemail.org (/ Through IFC -International Feature Conference) — Thu, 1 Feb 2018 13:45:00 GMT

Unlike many other nations of Europe, thousands of people with mental illness still live in asylums in Croatia. But not in Osijek… In this small city in the far east, dozens of people have moved from mental institutions into regular apartments in the community. One of the asylums has closed completely. The other has become a centre for recovery and respite, with just a few elderly residents. This process is called ‘de-institutionalisation’: a recognition that people with mental health challenges have human rights too, and are not usually dangerous maniacs who need to be locked away. In Croatia, in spite of a government commitment to change the situation for the thousands still residing in institutions, only Osijek has made this radical move. So what’s life like now for those who have been, ‘liberated’? And does life outside an asylum suit everybody?

Explore the dark, demonic landscape of a 17th Century Flemish masterpiece - The Temptation of Saint Anthony - by Joos van Craesbeeck (Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe). A giant screaming head dominates the painting; from its mouth pour tiny devils and the forehead has been peeled back to reveal a miniature artist working inside the brain. Cathy FitzGerald takes a closer look at Craesbeeck’s strange critters in the context of the early modern fascination with curiosity cabinets, monsters – and the devil.
