This is the first documentary to tackle this issue from a UK-perspective and explains the inner workings of Central Banks and the Money creation process.When money drives almost all of the planets activities, it is essential that we fully understand it. Yet simple questions often get overlooked, questions like; where does money come from? Who creates it? Who decides how it gets used?

Massive investment has been made to build a network of modern highways all over Tibet. China can also boast of having laid the highest railway track in the world that connects Lhasa with Beijing. In fact, China often complains that its civilizing mission in Tibet is costing the government and people of China large amounts in terms of subsidies to an under-developed region. According to official Chinese statistics, the level of annual subsidies to the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) in the late 1980s was around 1 billion yuan or $270 million. However, all the infrastructure that China has built in Tibet has not made the lives of the native Tibetans any better; it has only taken the exploitative apparatuses of the Chinese government deeper....

Originally a follow-up to 'Pinfall: A Professional Wrestling Documentary', this was meant to be broadcast on British television as an insight into the continued wrestling career of Adam Pacitti. However, Pacitti's lack of preparation left him in Texas for a week with just a camera crew for company. Improvising, he starts filming a new documentary about The Lone Star State. 'Everything's Bigger' covers everything from competitive eating and handguns to cowboys and conspiracy theorists. More importantly, whilst filming, Pacitti is receives an unexpected email from a girl offering to act as his own personal tour guide, which results in an unexpected friendship....

Sampson was a North American business man who moved to Saudi Arabia as a consultant. Suddenly, he was arrested and charged with carrying out an extremely violent bombing. Of course, this was the first he had even heard of this attack. The prosecution presented zero evidence. He was found guilty. After three years of torture, Sampson admitted to the crime. He was then sentenced to death. Being a Canadian citizen did not help: the Canadian government did not protest his treatment....
