Venice Under Siege - Italy
March 1996
Fires, floods, pollution and depopulation all threaten Venice - Italy today. The picturesque sights of sun glinting on the waves, elegant villas and ornate bridges are rarely associated with oil spills, petrol refineries and other hazards that pollute the lagoon. Neither would tourists expect to see noisy diggers dredging up mud from the canal floor in an attempt to protect buildings from flood damage. More worrying is the possibility that Venice will turn into nothing more than a touristic showpiece. Local families are leaving Venice for an easier life on the mainland. Survivors like the Farinati family live in a city where there are no cars, no supermarkets and very few schools. Mr Farinati, who runs a glass restoration business, has to heave sheets of glass off a boat, along a wood plank and then through a window before he can start work. Tourists in Venice far outnumber the residents. Venetians are an endangered species and their survival depends upon finding a solution to the many problems.

Sarajevo Under Siege - Bosnia
August 1992
A remarkable report filmed during the Bosnian coflict.
We travelled with a convoy over the mountains to besieged Sarajevo in war-torn Bosnia to film UN peacekeeping forces moving in to secure the runway at Sarajevo airport, inside Serbian territory. On the outskirts of Sarajevo, where families survive on little more than nettle soup, ordinary people say they need someone who will make peace - not keep the peace. A Bosnian Croat major tells of how small groups of fighters are verging on banditry. Meanwhile Serb artillery shells pound the suburb of Dobrinja. A damaged mosque illustrates the conflict. Includes footage of the airport under siege.

Title: Space Siege
Platforms: PC DVD-ROM
ESRB: Rating Pending
Genre: Action-RPG
Players: Single-Player and 1-4 Multiplayer Co-op
Ship date: 2008
A game of tactics, combat-heavy action, and decision making, Space Siege is an all-new science fiction themed action-RPG being developed by Chris Taylor and Gas Powered Games, the creators of Dungeon Siege I & II and Supreme Commander.
During a massive alien attack on Earth, five colony ships attempt to evacuate as many people as possible. Only one of the five colony ships, the Armstrong, escapes intact before Earth is completely obliterated by the aliens. In Space Siege, you take on the role of Seth Walker, a combat engineer aboard the Armstrong. Your objective is to protect the human race from being annihilated by this unknown alien species. Ultimately, you must make a horrific choice: will you sacrifice your humanity to save the human race?
At your disposal will be futuristic weapons and armor, cybernetic upgrades and a robotic partner that you can customize and command. Space Siege will feature both single- and multiplayer mission-based gameplay (mixed with tactical combat) that is spread across the vast confines of the Armstrong, along with character-building gameplay elements and a storyline that asks: What does it mean to be human?
Feature List:
* Tactical Combat Action -- Outsmart your enemies by setting up ambushes, dodging attacks, ducking behind cover, and using any of the multiple special abilities available to you.
* Multiple Gameplay Paths -- Define your game experience with the decisions you make. Will you remain truly human in the face of insurmountable odds? Or will you enhance your abilities with cybernetic technology to even the score? Customize your character with multiple skills and special abilities that fit your style of play.
* Customizable Robotic Partner -- Upgrade HR-V, your robot companion, with armor, weapons and special equipment. Command HR-V to perform offensive and defensive tactical combat maneuvers or combine your efforts an unleash special attack combos.
* Chilling Sci-Fi Story -- Follow a multi-chapter storyline and make key decisions that determine the best means to deal with the ferocious alien menace. Interact with dozens of characters with their own histories and personalities -- no more "generic NPCs".
* Online Multiplayer -- Up to 4 players can play cooperatively in a separate multiplayer campaign designed specifically for online play. Customize enemy difficulty and toughness to best fit your skill level.
* Futuristic Combat Technology -- Access high-tech weaponry and armor in addition to advanced cybernetic upgrades that will offer powerful abilities with both risks and benefits.

Under Siege - Israel/Palestine
June 2008
Since Israel began its blockade, Gaza has rarely been out of the news. We take a look at life behind the blockade and the headlines and we see a people left suffering and angry.
'Enough!' shouts a gas-buyer in the market, 'We are a people who have had enough!' The mood in the market, as in Gaza as a whole, is one of misery and anger. No one is allowed to enter or leave Gaza, and restrictions have been placed on water, fuel and electricity. 'This is the problem with Gaza', says John Ging, director of the UN Relief and Works Agency. 'The problems are identified, the solutions are known and yet nothing changes other than the situation continues to get worse and worse'. Karima Al Doul has cancer in an advanced stage. Before the blockade she used to travel to Israel for chemotherapy, but now treatment is unavailable and she has only months to live. Karima worries about the five children she will leave behind. It is the vulnerable that have suffered most from the blockades, she tells us. 'Many sick people have died because of this blockade. They are sick; this is not their fault'.
