Return of the Rhinos
Zimbabwe - 2022
In southern Africa, rhinos were poached to near extinction in recent decades. We visit a wildlife sanctuary, with an elite anti-poaching team, to see how the animal is being bought back from the brink. It's one of the most successful rhino conservation projects in Africa. In south-eastern Zimbabwe, a private wildlife sanctuary is working hard to bring endangered rhinos back from the brink. In decades past, the rhino was poached to near extinction in southern Africa. Its horn, which can sell for its weight in gold, makes it a target for organised poaching gangs. In 1998, the privately-funded Malilangwe Trust had a population of 28 white and 28 black rhinos, imported from South Africa. Today its rhino population numbers in the hundreds. Reporter Michael Davie, an Australian born in Zimbabwe, returns home to witness this extraordinary wildlife success story.

Football's Racist Reputation
United Kingdom - 2022
With the men’s and women’s football World Cups fast approaching, there are fears players could face a repeat of the online racial hate witnessed after last year’s European Championship final in London. The three black players who missed their penalties were subjected to a tidal wave of social media attacks from within the UK and around the world. Alan Bush works as a fan education manager with UK football’s anti-discrimination organisation, Kick It Out. A survey conducted by Kick It Out during the 2019-20 season in England found 30 per cent of people had witnessed racist comments or chants at a football match. World football’s governing body FIFA will use an in-tournament moderation service to detect and block online abuse aimed at players at the World Cup in Qatar - technology, FIFA bosses say, which can scan recognised hate-speech terms and prevent offending messages from being seen by the intended recipient and their followers. As countries rally for the World Cup, football struggles to shake its racist reputation. Dateline travels around England to uncover the impact of racism on the beautiful game.

The Vanishing River
United States - 2022
Stretching from the snowy peaks of the Rocky Mountains all the way down to the Sea of Cortez in Mexico, the waters of the Colorado River are a lifeline to tens of millions of people. But the pressures of the decades-long megadrought in America's Southwest and a warming planet mean the water levels in the river and its dams are dropping. The pressures on the river are largely man-made. The building of the Hoover Dam in the 1930s tamed the waters of this once wild river, harnessing its flows to produce hydropower and feed a massive agricultural industry across the Southwest. But the water was over allocated from the start. Now as dam levels drop to their lowest ever, the survival of farms and industries is in question.

OUI.
Cameroon - 2022
The Cameroonian Civil War still rages between the Anglophone Ambazonia region and the Francophone Cameroonian government. The conflict, which began in 2016 after years of systematic oppression of Anglophone Cameroonians, has forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee, as violence between Ambazonian militias and the Cameroon army continues. OUI. shines a light on the Cameroonian Migrant Crisis, and we meet three refugees in Nigeria, and hear of the horrors of the war and their hopeful visions of the future. Directed by Temple Iluma
