1) THE CROWN JEWELS OF IRAN / GANJINEHA-YE GOHAR
By Ebrahim Golestan
Talks about the kings' ostentatious display of jewels in Iran is at the expense of the people of Iran. How people live in poverty whereas the king lives in disgusting decadence.
2) RAID INTO TIBET
By Adrian Cowell
The raid between Tibet and China
How the Tibetans fought bravely to overcome Communist ruling in China. How nomadic lifestyle was intolerable to the Chinese and they sought to liquidate the old and send the young to China. The crew managed to shoot the guerillas fighting in Tsum Valley, Nepal, against China. Nepal is between China and India, and the King of Tibet was presented much gifts and tributaries from China and Tibet because they want access to other parts of the world. China helped to build trains inside such harsh conditions of Tibet. India too. They joined up and China raided Tibet. They destroyed so much heritage, the places of worship in Tibet which made the natives really angry and they fought back.
3) THE DIAMOND FINGER / NIEW PETCH
By R.D. Pestonji
Apsara and Ngung Tuk (NT) and Shiva
NT was bullied by Apsara and he went to Shiva for help. Shiva gave him a diamond finger with the power to destroy. NT goes around killing Apsara. Shiva changes into a beautiful woman to charm NT and eventually tricks him to killing himself with the diamond finger. Done in Thai dance style, this Thai derivative of the Indian epic poem Ramayana is very slow moving.
