- Three Days of Terror: The Charlie Hebdo AttacksE1
Three Days of Terror: The Charlie Hebdo AttacksIn November 2015, when gunmen attacked Paris, France declared war on the Islamic State. But that war - and France's 'year of terror' - began a year ago with the attack on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. With unprecedented access to the French authorities and previously unseen footage, five-time Bafta-winning director Dan Reed reveals the untold story of the massacre and of the first Islamic State strike in Paris at a kosher grocery store. Key witnesses, police officers and survivors - many speaking for the first time - piece together the dramatic attacks and the unprecedented manhunt that gripped the world for three extraordinary and terrifying days. - World War Three: Inside The War RoomE2

E5De superrige gangster-kongerNogle af Rumæniens sigøjnermusikere har aldrig haft det bedre. De er nemlig blevet superstjerner med en ny slags musik. Manele er en ny popgenre, der forherliger penge, biler og livet i overhalingsbanen. Den er dog også kontroversiel, fordi den glorificerer gangstere og kriminalitet. Få et indblik i denne nye verden af superrige rumænere. - Ydmygelse, overgreb og broderskab
E6Ydmygelse, overgreb og broderskabTusinder af collegestuderende i USA sværger troskab til såkaldte loger hvert år og flytter sammen i store huse. Broderskabet varer for mange af dem hele livet og kommer til at udgøre et vigtigt netværk. Her får vi et indblik i de amerikanske logedrenge, der er særligt berygtede for våde drukture og vilde fester. Det er ikke nemt at blive optaget i en loge, og hvert år kommer aspiranter til skade eller omkommer i vanskelige optagelsesritualer. - Unarmed Black Male
E7Unarmed Black MaleFilm following the murder trial of a white police officer in Portsmouth, Virginia, accused of shooting an unarmed black teenager. On 22 April 2015, Officer Stephen Rankin responded to a report of shoplifting at a Walmart store. Minutes after arriving in the parking lot, he shot and killed William Chapman. After Chapman's death, Rankin was fired from Portsmouth Police Department and charged with first-degree murder. Chapman was just one of 306 black men who were killed by police in the US last year, but just 14 police officers faced any charges - Rankin was one of them. With extraordinary access to the prosecution and defence, as well as Chapman's family and friends and those closest to Officer Rankin, this powerful 90-minute documentary from award-winning filmmaker James Jones forensically follows the drama as the trial unfolds and unpicks Rankin's troubling prior record in the police department. During a summer of increasing tension across America, this film explores the reaction of a divided community to the prosecution of a local police officer. Part of the award-winning This World strand on BBC Two.
