BEYOND SIBERIA – RIDING THE ROAD OF BONES
2 x 60 minutes
High Definition | Format Rights Available | Produced by Thought Films
The 30,000-kilometre motorbike ride from London to Magadan, on the edge of Russia, has been described as one of the
most challenging rides in the world. For four long months, a group of adventure bikers from around the world travels across
a quarter of the Earth’s surface, pushing themselves and their bikes to the limit. Starting in Europe they ride the length of
Russia, onto the historical Silk Road, deep into Mongolia, through the Siberian wilderness and experience an incredibly
moving final ride through the infamous Road of Bones; a spiritual wasteland where two million people perished, with their
bodies used as road fill during Stalin’s reign of terror. Through blazing deserts, inland seas, snow-covered peaks, black ice,
torrential rain, raging river crossings and vast empty plains, this is an epic series of extreme highs and gut-wrenching lows.
These riders know that every bend in the road could be their last and not everybody will make it to the end. Presented and
narrated by Charley Boorman.

THE TRUTH ABOUT FEMALE DESIRE
1 x 60 minutes
High Definition | Produced by Bountiful Films | Commissioned by CBC Canada
The Truth About Female Desire is a revealing look at what women really want and are willing to do to get it. Women
of all ages, shapes and sizes are demanding the right to be sexual and they don’t give a damn what you think of them.
A generation ago a woman who liked sex went to great lengths to hide it. Now she brags about it. New science about
female sexuality, coupled with advances in technology, makes it possible for women to pursue their desires like never
before. This provocative, honest and entertaining look at female desire smashes centuries-old constructs designed to
control female sexuality and reveals a generation of women who expect power in both the boardroom and the bedroom.
TRANSFORMING GENDER
1 x 60 minutes
High Definition | Produced by Mad Hive Media | Commissioned by CBC Canada
Boy or girl? Male or female? For a transgendered person that can be a complicated question. Transforming Gender explores
what it’s like to be in conflict with the gender assigned to you. The battle over the rights and freedoms of transgender
individuals is the first great civil rights struggle of the 21st century. In the last five years mainstream culture has woken up
to the vivid presence of transgender people in their midst. From a generation of gender variant children and pop culture
celebrities, to transitioning superstar athletes and soldiers, trans people have never been more visible. Behind the headlines
though, a darker picture emerges. Transgender people are among the most persecuted, least protected people in our society.
More than one in three transgender people attempts suicide at some point in their lives. But increasingly they are fighting
back against the discrimination and few doubt that the era of transgender enfranchisement is upon us.

Spite, greed, backstabbing and betrayal – not model foundations for a successful marriage. When marriages fall apart,
divorce can turn ugly… sometimes deadly. Divorce can bring out the worst in people, sometimes leading them to do
shocking things they never imagined they were capable of. Based on the public court documents of riveting divorce and
murder court proceedings, Fatal Vows is a documentary series that explores tumultuous, shocking and high-stake divorces
and the deadly murders linked to them. Each episode objectively profiles the details of a closed murder case. Told from
different sides using court documents, public archives, stock footage and interviews, along with dramatic recreations,
these stories reveal the darker depths of human psychology and how the end of a relationship can trigger someone to kill.

man’s discovery of a colleague’s long hidden
secret turns his sunny retreat into a gruesome
murder scene; a pregnant woman gets too close
with another woman only to suffer the ultimate
betrayal when she sets about taking everything
from her; and one man pays with his life in the
safest house of all, his church. When friends
can’t be trusted and homes are no longer safe
it can lead to betrayal, terror and murder.
