E.M.I: Easy Monthly Installment is a bittersweet satire that looks at modern day India in a mirthfully subjective way. It's an engaging pick on the easy to get but taxing to hold the ever changing credit economy. It's a narrative of interconnecting characters coming from different strata and style. A peek-a-boo into their lives of situations that they didn't anticipate. The people who indulge in spending without thinking and others who care to be optimistic about the future that they desire. This satire dwells into the lives of our protagonists and their stories.
Real life is simply how you survive in a 'God blessed God dammed' place. James' Journey depicts an Israel you will rarely see on television or read about in the news. The Intifada is mentioned only in passing. This is a story of a young na''ve man's pilgrimage to the Holy Land Jerusalem; a journey which has been made by millions over countless years. However James is a Black South African and when he arrives in Israel the authorities do not believe his story and put him in prison. Languishing in his cell awaiting deportation James sees everything as a test of his faith because he is that rarest of things a 'true believer'. His prayers are seemingly answered when the affable 'Mr Shimi' arrives and gets him released. For James this is a sign from God but in reality the test of his faith has only just begun. Shimi throws James into a world of 'Gummi' cleaning and doing hard labour on the Israeli black market. He is forced to live in a squalid house with illegal economic migrant workers from Eastern Europe and Africa. From here he must gamble his way out.

On January 17 1991 Lockheed F-117 stealth fighters launched Operation Desert Storm the opening blow of a campaign that would forever change aerial warfare. Over the next 100 days coalition forces blanketed the air space over Iraq employing a sophisticated arsenal of weapons and electronic countermeasures that thwarted every attempt by the Iraqis to effectively fight back. It was an entirely new era in warfare but in many ways Desert Storm was only the beginning. The new generation of precision munitions that shocked the world in 1991 has led to a technological explosion in weapons development. This documentary examines the revolution in the application of air power that began with Desert Storm. Beginning with a review of air operations in Iraq with ""Winds of the Storm"" a conversation with retired Air Force Chief of Staff General Merrill McPeak provides an overview of the successes and failures of the air war in Iraq. However successful the application of air power in the Persian Gulf was by no means perfect: weather conditions prevented the employment of precision guided weapons and those same weapons did not always strike their intended targets. Mobile missile launchers proved difficult to locate and human error led to tragic loss of life from friendly aerial fire. The problems encountered in Iraq have led directly to a new generation of weapons. In our final installment ""Superweapons: The Secrets of China Lake "" we'll visit the US Navy's weapons testing facility where all new systems are tested before they are officially approved for use. This job falls to VX-9 a squadron of dedicated professionals who live on the cutting edge of military technology. A look at VX-9 and their mission at China Lake provides an astonishing glimpse onto the future of aerial warfare. List of Episodes Winds Of The Storm General Merrill McPeak Super Weapons
