Conflicts arise when a new editor is appointed to the magazine and profound changes begin to take place. Among others, the editor has to deal with his own father’s political corruption. The series deals with the relationship between men and women that work for the magazine, and at the same time, explores the different facets of masculinity in a conservative society that is rapidly evolving, leaving behind many traditional views on what it means to be a male in Latin culture. XY aims to stir the viewers and make them think twice about their previous ideas of masculinity. UPF shelf location PN1992.13 .I56 2012 v. 18 Shop steward Richard Saiz Safina Uberoi

They are called Korea’s Warren Buffet or Bill Gates. MBC Special–Ahn & Park was able to make a documentary on them, who seldom appeared on TV despite their high popularity, and featured how they think about the Korean society. Ahn and Park are one of the biggest beneficiaries of the current capitalism as they built wealth and fame as a doctor, a CEO or am economic specialist. But with their sharp, critical point of view and consideration for the have-nots, they are highly respected in the society. Their warning message to “the market capitalism and those with vested rights” gives a pleasant shock to the public who are suffering from high unemployment rates and economic downturns. The programme features a famous entertainer as an interviewer and narrator, giving softness and humour to the somewhat heavy conversations. As a result, it recorded unusually high ratings of 14.5% and became a hot issue among people, giving birth to a sequel to it.

Leading present-day artists from fields as diverse as photography, animation, and acting draw on the artistic sensibilities and techniques that they have developed in their respective careers as they look into the mystery of why certain artworks have had a huge appeal to successive generations. In this edition, we examine the 17th-century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s internationally celebrated “Girl with a Pearl Earring”. Why is this painting so appealing? Leading Japanese photographer Kishin Shinoyama explores the secrets of its beauty. His first focus is the girl’s captivating eyes. Shinoyama uses a model to reproduce the painting as a photograph. He discovers that Vermeer’s representation of light was far ahead its time and that Vermeer had some amazing tricks up his sleeve. The unusual approach of having a photographer analyze a painter’s techniques leads to new ideas for enjoying art.

This extraordinary film takes us to Germany, Belgium and France where we try to understand Switzerland’s controversial “death trade”.

Erin’s best friend Eliza has joint British/Israeli nationality although she lives in the UK. She travels to Israel to carry out National Service in the army and invites Erin to join her for the summer. Erin is anticipating a summer of parties and attractive, young Israeli men but just before she departs she finds her sick grandfather’s diary. She starts to read it en-route to Israel and learns about his life in the army in the then Palestine. She discovers Len witnessed first-hand the atrocities of the Holocaust and the violent events that occurred when the modern state of Israel was established. Moved by Len’s account and the realisation he wasn’t much older than her when he wrote it, Erin retraces his steps in modern day Israel. Her journey is exhilarating and turbulent in equal measure. She is forced to confront the drama, complexity and tragedy of life in this troubled land for Jews and Palestinians alike. She also uncovers the disturbing conclusion to her grandfather’s service in the Middle East and a deep love and understanding for a man she had naively written off as old and irrelevant.
