Spirits and ghosts are deeply ingrained in South East Asian Buddhism. People don’t take their presence lightly. Good spirits must be placated, or there will be severe consequences. ‘Living with Spirits’ depicts the South East Asian inhabitants living their daily life with spirits and ghosts. Set in Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, China and Vietnam, this series will take its audience into an unknown, spiritual world that few people even know exists.

2015 was a formative year for transgender athletes with Caitlyn Jenner publicly announcing her name change, Chris Mosier becoming the first transgender man to make the U.S. National Team and the IOC adapting its guidelines for the Summer Olympics in Rio. The conversation surrounding transgender athletes has reached a fever pitch. This special examines the question: do transgender athletes have a competitive advantage? Through professional voices and personal storytelling we explore the debate.
‘The Naked Truth’ takes investigative story-telling to a new level - shining a light on the stories others don’t want told - in a way a young audience can connect to: honest, transparent, no bullshit. Whether exposing the role of drug companies in the heroin epidemic, revealing the secret power of fraternities, unmasking the enablers of international criminals, or calling out the lies of the defenders of the status quo - ‘The Naked Truth’ tells it like it is, regardless of the consequences.
