VIRGINITY – PRICE OR PRIZE (2001)
For a long time, the issue of virginity has always been associated with women - a representation of society - and men's standards imposed on their female partners. For as long as there are patriarchal societies, men have exacted this code of chastity from their women.

The double standards bore through - men could afford to have multiple sex partners or pre-marital sexual experience. Women, on the other hand, are to keep themselves for that one chance - marriage.

This groundbreaking series gives the issue of "Virginity" a gender twist. It brings you to four diverse countries in Asia to look at male virginity - how does the modern Asian man regard this aspect of their sexuality? Through the eyes of men in China, Thailand, Japan and India, it gives an insight to the male psyche which is moulded by cultural and social changes in their country.

Number of episodes: 5 x 23min

FADING DRUMBEAT (1999)
This series shines the spotlight on Asia’s indigenous people – the natural-living Orang Laut of Malaysia and Indonesia, the fiercely proud Ifugao rice farmers of the Philippines, the tradition-bound hill tribes of Chiengmai in Thailand and others.

Unconquered by European colonialists of an earlier age, these communities have retained age-old ethnic traditions and customs, fascinating in their peculiarities.

But at present day, it is modernisation that endangers their way of life - urban sprawl, urban manners and urban complexities. Exploitation, the loss of ancestral land and the exodus of the youth confront these once-naïve communities, threatening their sacred traditions, and their very existence. Come hear the drumbeat of Asia’s ethnic minorities.

Number of episodes: 14 x 23min
