Here's the revised text: Welcome to the paradoxical world of England. Despite boasting a historically low unemployment rate of 3.6%, the specter of poverty looms large, affecting over 15 million Britons—that's nearly a quarter of the population! Rampant inflation and surging energy costs in recent months have thrust millions into the throes of poverty. The situation is further exacerbated by the hyper-flexibility of wages and the increasing trend of uberization among hundreds of thousands of self-employed individuals. Add to this the impact of over a decade of severe cuts in social assistance, initiated during David Cameron's government, coupled with a state disengagement from public services. As a consequence, the United Kingdom, which only had a handful of food banks in 2010, now grapples with over 2,000. Life expectancy is stagnating, even plummeting in the most disadvantaged regions, where residents succumb to the grim realities of the "shit life syndrome"—a lethal blend of multiple pathologies and addictions resulting in premature death, a stark contrast to other regions where people live a decade longer. In response to the government's shortcomings, millions of Britons have embraced voluntary work to survive. This marks the rise of the "Big Society," a concept championed in 2010 by then-Prime Minister David Cameron—the very architect of the austerity policy! Embark on a journey with us as we delve into the lives of England's working poor, individuals grappling with the challenges of relying on solidarity for survival. From the poverty-stricken seaside town of Blackpool in the north-west to the rural county of Cumbria on the Scottish border—where public services and transport have nearly disappeared—to Ashton-under-Lyne, a factory town paralyzed by the absence of economic prospects, witness the reality of contemporary Great Britain.

Amid the ashes of post-WWII Japan, the bittersweet sounds of American traditional country music drifted through the radio airwaves. Although intended for the U.S. occupying forces, a vast ‘ghost audience’ of young Japanese quickly warmed to the soothing, yet foreign, sounds. Since falling in love with the music in the 1950’s, Charlie Nagatani has lived to play and spread country music throughout Japan. From his hometown of Kumamoto in southern Japan, Charlie operates a family-run honky-tonk named Good Time Charlie’s and is the promoter of the largest country music festival in Japan, Country Gold. Masuo Sasabe’s band The Blueside of Lonesome is one of Japan’s most renowned bluegrass bands. Sasabe was in the first wave of Japanese musicians to travel to America seeking the source of bluegrass music in the early 1970’s. Through these modern-day portraits, Far Western illuminates this lost chapter of music as the musicians’ journey from Japan to the heart of American music culture. Over seventy years later this American music tradition has been transformed into something distinctly Japanese. Director: James D. Payne

When Microsoft pointed fingers at 'state-backed' Chinese hackers infiltrating its servers, targeting a minimum of 60,000 global users, the revelation hardly came as a shock. It marked just another instance in the ongoing saga of Chinese cyberattacks. Mounting security apprehensions related to China have led to the banning or restriction of Huawei from 5G networks in several countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. FBI Director James Comey asserted in 2014, 'There are two types of big companies: those that have been hacked by the Chinese, and those that don’t know they have been hacked by the Chinese.' China boasts the world's largest surveillance network, utilizing technology for minority suppression, content censorship, and dissident surveillance. For decades, Western leaders held onto the belief that China's economic growth posed no threat to other nations. The hope was that China would confine its actions within its borders and, as the country embraced capitalism, also lean towards liberalism. Today, that optimism lies shattered. China consistently ranks as the primary source of cyberattacks. A fierce competition is underway for global technology leadership, with 5G networks deemed crucial for future development. Few companies are as strategically positioned to spearhead the 5G revolution as Huawei. However, the looming question persists: to what extent should Huawei be perceived as a threat? We delve into perspectives from key officials in America, Europe, and China.

Located in the Persian Gulf, off the coast of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the Kingdom of Bahrain is the smallest and most surprising country in the Middle East. Here, homosexuality is legal, alcohol flows freely, other religions practiced and women live freely. Little wonder the island has become the party capital of the Middle East, particularly for young Saudis… Bahrain was built thanks to its gas and oil resources but today the reserves are running out and the country must reinvent itself. It plans to do this by attracting investors from all over the world. Here there is no corporate tax, no income tax and no VAT. Bahrain is in the middle of a real estate frenzy, constructing artifi cial islands and ultra modern skyscrapers. It sees itself as the new, more liberated Dubai. But behind this facade of tolerance lies a darker reality. The predominantly Shi’ite population is ruled with an iron fist by the Sunni minority, headed by the Al Khalifa royal family. All Shi’ite political opposition is severely repressed and their leaders imprisoned. Director: Jérôme Dion
