The Dangerous Adventures of Baroness CoxCameras follow Baroness Cox, Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords, as she flies into an African warzone to buy back several hundred Sudanese who have been sold into slavery. Undaunted by critics who claim that she is fuelling the slave trade in southern Sudan, the Baroness is the target of fighters, bombers and hit squads as she tries to reunite families torn apart by conflict. - Chained WomenE5
Chained Women Under Orthodox Jewish law, a woman wishing to end her marriage must be granted a bill of divorce, or a "get", by her husband. If he refuses, she becomes "chained" to him until he relents. With Jewish law considering any of her subsequent relationships adulterous and any resulting children illegitimate, a "chained" woman's only choice is to comply with the demands of her religion, or leave it. However, this is not an easy choice to make. - Released: the Story of James MawdsleyE6
