A Very Serious Offence

15th May 1991 Season 10 Episode 6

"I realised that I was going to be raped and that being raped was better than being dead, so therefore I was going to submit." (Rape Victim). For most women, rape is a life-threatening situation. In nearly 70 per cent of cases the woman knows her assailant. This film takes a close look at the violent crime of rape. It talks to women who have survived it, men who have committed it and follows the Metropolitan Police as they investigate an allegation of a brutal gang rape of an 18-year-old girl.

The Missing

The war is over, but thousands of families in Kuwait have loved ones missing. During the occupation large numbers of Kuwaitis were taken as prisoners to Iraq. Many were tortured, some will never return. Today, their families wait anxiously for news of their fate. Meanwhile, in liberated Kuwait, others have gone missing since the war ended. They are Palestinians suspected of having collaborated with the Iraqis. Their families are not told why they have been abducted, and there is growing evidence that, they, too, are being tortured. The war may be over, but the brutality and the suffering still continue.
