The football match that changed the world’s perception of corruption in sport

In September 2010 a legendary friendly FIFA football match took place between Bahrain and Togo. It was legendary not only because of the nature of the game, but because it later transpired that the Togolese team was entirely “fake”. The match is a spectacular example of how corruption in sport - and match-fixing specifically - is organised and executed. The players, coaches and officials involved had no idea of the manipulation taking place, but once revealed it drastically changed the world’s view on the potential for corruption in sport. Though the scale of the corruption is almost comic, the Togolese players and coach suffer the consequences to this day; meanwhile, the mastermind behind it all has become something of a celebrity in the world of match-fixing.

Tinder: A Predator's Playground

The dark side of dating apps

Dating apps have revolutionised the way that we find love – but are they also putting us in grave danger? Tinder has been downloaded more than 100 million times worldwide. It’s reinvented the way we meet people. And it generates enormous revenue for its parent company Match Group. Billed as ‘the largest, hottest community of singles in the world’, the app cheerfully urges users, ‘when in doubt, give a swipe right. Trust us, the more options you have, the better-looking life becomes’. But there’s alarming evidence that the app has an ugly side, and is putting users at great risk. In this documentary, a deeply troubling pattern of sexual assault and rape facilitated by the use of Tinder is uncovered, as women detail their harrowing experiences with the predators who use the app as a hunting ground for new victims.

The old adage is that if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. But what does it take to make it in New York? The dream is simple enough: Venezuelan-born flamenco prodigy Siudy Garrido and her dance troupe want to bring their production ‘Entre Mundos’ (‘Between Worlds’) to a famed midtown New York stage and sustain a successful multi-month run.
