  • Every Good Marriage Begins With Tears [Part 1] 29:33 Every Good Marriage Begins With Tears [Part 1]

    [Part 1] Two sisters living in England whose family have raised them in the traditions of their native Bangladesh have very different perspectives on the issue of arranged marriage in this documentary from filmmaker Simon Chambers. Shahanara Begum is in her early 20's and has embraced life in the West with gusto -- she speaks freely and wears loud, skimpy clothes. But Shahanara's lifestyle has turned her father against her, and hoping to pacify him, she agrees to marry a man that her family has chosen for her. However, when she discovers after the ceremony that he's decided they will live in Bangladesh rather than London, she abandons her new spouse and goes back to her other boyfriend. Meanwhile, Shahanara's younger sister Hushnara Begum is quiet and dutiful, and when her folks inform her they've decided she will wed a man in Bangladesh she's never met, she meekly goes along. However, as Hushnara's wedding day draws closer, her misgivings grow stronger and stronger.

  • Can't Read, Can't Write [Part 1] 24:12 Can't Read, Can't Write [Part 1]

    [Part 1] Can't Read, Can't Write is a shocking and moving series that reveals the hidden realities of Britain's adult literacy crisis. It follows on from the hugely successful RTS award-winning Lost for Words season, which addressed the problems of literacy in schools. In this first episode, award-winning teacher Phil Beadle (The Unteachables) takes on the task of teaching nine adults how to read and write. Each one of them spent over 10 years in the school system – and yet they failed to learn the most basic skills. The class includes a whole range of people who left school unable to read: a businessman, a plumber, a single mum and an unemployed 21-year-old.
