A REPORT BY ESRAS FILMS
This report films in Beirut, Lebanon where children are learning
about gender discrimination and women's equal role in society. It
profiles the work of a female politician to illustrate how women's
participation is key to ensuring equal rights are implemented.
Women’s participation in decision making is important not only in times
of peace but also in times of war or conflict. As international law
expert Professor Christine Chinkin tells us 'it is women who have maintained what fabric of society there is
during conflict and this builds up an enormous well of experience, of
actions very often across the lines of warring parties and it just
seems completely one-sided to ignore that depth of experience in
favour of those who have been away fighting.'
European Pond Turtle (80 seconds)

Is Media Reporting Ethical? (34 minutes)
Report on The Irish School of Ecumenics public discussion on The Moral
Maze: Ethical Questions and the Shared Future. Is Media Reporting Ethical? with
journalist Susan McKay and veteran broadcaster David Dunseith.
David, with over 30 years of broadcasting experience poses the question:
What is Truth in this divided community; the pressures brought on journalists
in the 'propaganda war' and shares some anecdotes from his radio programmes.
Susan questions the continued objectivity of print media when so many of the
daily newspapers are owned by one person, the necessity to keep a journalists
news sources confidential, the balance between impinging on ordinary peoples
private lives in heightened situations and the need to know and the transition
from 'war' reporting to reporting in peace time.
What do the public think of the media: Vox pops from the Belfast people.
