Majd Abdulghani is a teenager living in Saudi Arabia. She wants to be a scientist. Her family wants to arrange her marriage. From the age of 19 to 21, Majd has been chronicling her life with a microphone, taking us inside a society where the voices of women are rarely heard. She records herself practicing karate, conducting experiments in a genetics lab, and fending off pressure to accept an arranged marriage. In her audio diary, Majd documents everything from arguments with her brother about how much she should cover herself in front of men, to late night thoughts about loneliness, arranged marriages, and the possibility of true love.

An epic saga of life and death on the Mediterranean. Sharon Davis investigates how the combined military power of NATO failed to prevent more than 60 people dying on board a small boat as it drifted for 15 days through the most heavily monitored ocean on earth.
This is an account by the survivors, three of whom are now living in Tasmania, of their epic tale of life and death at sea... but there's also a very disturbing twist. The case of the so called “Left To Die Boat” became the focus of a deepening scandal in Europe involving NATO and some of the world's most powerful nations.
