In this new studio programme volunteers question Middle East blogger Karl Sharro on the conflict in Syria. Watch on WORLDbytes.
Open Borders: Natascha's story
This vital new strand features volunteer's migration stories. Returning to South Africa, Natascha was asked what race she was. Like Apartheid, its time to make classifying people by birth-place, history. Watch on WORLDbytes.
Against Austerity: Debt
For this new strand on WORLDbytes guest experts question orthodox ideas which suggest we should tighten our belts. In this first programme we learn debt is not the issue. Watch on WORLDbytes.
Austerity: Don't reinvent the Blitz
Whilst austerity now trips off the lips of every politician Jean, Doris and Andy, who lived through the Blitz in East London, give us their account of rationing and hope no one will ever go through that again. Watch on WORLDbytes.
Sex in the brain: do men and women think differently?
We don't think so, but the debate gets heated with 'scientism' insisting male and female capabilities are fixed. This debate formed part of the Battle for our Brains strand at the Battle of Ideas. Watch on WORLDbytes.
Fair Trade leaves a "Bitter Aftertaste"
WORLDwrite have re-launched this critical short film on fair trade. Shot in Ghana and the UK in 2004, its message remains vital. Watch it above and click on the viddler link to download, share or embed. The film is also available on DVD from the WORLDwrite Shop.
Don't shout at the telly: The Leveson Inquiry
In this gripping on-the-sofa discussion, journalist Patrick Hayes reveals the frightening implications of the Leveson inquiry and calls for absolute free speech & press freedom. Not everyone agrees, but WORLDwrite and WORLDbytes do. Watch on WORLDbytes.
