Victoria Baux has spent most of her life abroad. She wonders whether her travels were a way of dealing with a difficult family problem. Her mother, Ann, was diagnosed with depression in 1997, at the age of 39. But she had been unwell for a long time before that and her illness had taken a heavy toll on the entire family. Victoria also has friends who suffer from some form of mental illness. And she recently discovered that many people she has met have also struggled with it, often without her even noticing. This motivated her to embark on a journey: she wanted to learn about the best ways to help those suffering from mental illness, as well as their families and friends, who shoulder so much of the burden. In doing so, she hopes to make peace with her own family history - and her mother.

Sixty years after the Wright Brothers put man in the air, scientists and engineers were grappling with the next major challenge: putting a man in space - and keeping him alive there. As an engineering challenge, it was the most extreme imaginable. Their solution was a rocket and the most complicated piece of personal protection equipment man has ever known: the space suit. The design challenge was handed to a small team inside NASA - Crew Systems. The leader of their team was Matthew Radnofsky, known as "the Mad Russian" - an eccentric second-generation Jewish immigrant with a can-do attitude and a broad Boston accent. He was also Caroline Radnofsky's grandfather. She barely knew him - he died when she was three years old - but she grew up with stories of the Apollo 11 mission and the famous space suit. For her, the story of the space race is not just about the men who risked their lives to travel into the unknown, but the ones who held those lives in their hands. Al Jazeera's Caroline Radnofsky set out explore the legacy of her grandfather, the man behind the iconic Apollo 11 space suits.

Asadullah was only 10-years-old when he was arrested and imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay. While working as a tea-boy for an Afghan commander, he, along with 30 other Afghans were rounded up by US soldiers and sent to the notorious military site in Cuba. Branded a 'terrorist' he was held for 17 months before finally being released. Al Jazeera's Sonia Verma was the first journalist to find Asadullah after he was freed, travelling to his remote mountain village to interview him. What she discovered was a young boy who had been victimised by the US, abandoned by his country, yet nostalgic for his brief and unusual taste of the West. Ten years later, Sonia returns to Afghanistan to find the 22-year-old. This is no simple task. As her friend Graeme Smith put it, "You only had a name. A first name, which is like looking for a guy called John in New York City." But when Sonia finally does find Asadullah, she discovers a young man trying to rebuild his life after a lost childhood.

Al Jazeera's Ramsey Zarifeh first travelled to Japan soon after graduation to teach English. Fascinated by the futuristic bullet trains and the country’s unique train network, he got to know Japan through its railways. He travelled on nearly every rail line and ended up writing a guide book based on these experiences. Japan’s railway, stretching across big cities and connecting rural communities, is a window into Japanese society and culture. Nowhere else on the planet do trains run not just to the minute, but to the second. The need for speed, focus on accuracy and technological innovation are all facets of Japanese society manifest in the railway system. Almost two decades after he first travelled there, Ramsey journeys through Japan to rediscover a country at a crossroads: at once both upholding tradition and rushing headlong towards the future. Ramsey’s travels take him to rural lines - once important lifelines for remote communities, now struggling to survive as the birth rate falls; to the station synonymous with a famous cat; and to a remote line devastated by the 2011 tsunami. He meets an old friend at the sacred Buddhist site, Koya-san, revisits his old school, travels to Tokyo to delve deeper into the culture of punctuality, and explores the sub-cultures, literature and music inspired by a love for trains. This film recalls Ramsey's initial journey, and is an exploration of contemporary Japan through the story of its railway and distinctive train culture.

Can three comedians from Bosnia overcome the bitterness of the past to reunite and reconcile? Often compared to Monty Python's Flying Circus the comedy team from Sarajevo known as Top Lista Nadrealista or The Surrealist Hit Parade rose to prominence on the eve of the breakup of Yugoslavia. Nele, Zenit and Djuro became household names throughout the Balkans. The wars that followed the splintering of the country pitted each of the diverse communities against one another. The bitter conflict exposed some nationalist loyalties among the comedians and lead to the acrimonious break-up of Top Lista. The split reflecting the broader tribulations dividing their homeland. - Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe - Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera - Check out our website:http://www.aljazeera.com/
