About Niger: The Land Of Fear With David Adams

The Sahara is the biggest desert on earth ... it takes its name from the Arab word for "emptiness". In the dead heart of that emptiness there's a place called the Tenere. The Tenere takes its name from the Tuareg word for "nothing". A nothing the size of France in the middle of an emptiness the size of the United States. It's no wonder the locals call this place "The Land Of Fear". David Adams retraces the trade routes of the people who call this stove-hot corner of the planet home.

The Controversial Legacy Of King Charles III | The Madness Of Prince Charles

For 56 years Prince Charles was the King in waiting - a wait that has surely been hard on him. Against the background of his wedding to Camilla, the film examines his controversial ideas on architecture (nothing too modern, please), medicine (coffee enemas and a diet of liquidized fruit), and religion (flirting with Islam, Sikhism, and regularly visiting the Greek Orthodox monasteries on Mount Athos). Looking at the heir to the throne's difficult relationships with women, family, and the public, we find out what makes Charles tick.
