De Niro stars in this brutal and emotionally devastating examination of the life of boxing champion, Jake La Motta. The film charts his rise to the top, the collapse of his career and family relationships and his painful journey back to personal salvation. Scorsese focuses on the violence present in the male identity in this painful yet powerful film.
Raging Bull is arguably the finest work from the Scorsese and De Niro partnership. De Niro gives an amazing portrayal of a man whose animal side lurks just beneath the surface, ever ready to erupt. Vivid and unremitting in its uncompromising brutality and honesty, the fight sequences are famed for their realism. Violent throughout, this film is a testament to Scorsese's and De Niro skills, creating a thoroughly absorbing film about such an unlikable character. Renowned for throwing himself into the roles of the character, De Niro went on a diet to gain fifty pounds during the production for the role of the faded star.
Towering Colossus-like over the mass of 1980s and contemporary Hollywood product, this is a ferociously intense, unflinchingly honest and cinematically brilliant portrait of troubled middleweight champ Jake la Motta. De Niro's performance is simply awesome - making most others, and unfortunately his own later efforts, appear almost half-hearted.

This programme investigates three of the most powerful forces that our planet experiences: earthquakes, avalanches and volcanoes. Earthquakes have killed more than two million people in this century alone. A witness of the 1989 earthquake in Los Angeles describes the chaos that followed the devastating event. We learn about how seismography allows us to predict earthquakes and how modern technology can help us defend against them. Moving to Canada, we meet a victim of an avalanche, which swept down a mountain and swiftly buried her alive.
Since humans first walked the earth, mountains were seen as places of mystery, wonder and fear, where unseen spirits often spoke in thunderous fury without warning. The avalanche is still one of the most frightening and destructive forces in nature, with over one million avalanches rumbling down the world's mountains every year. In parts of Europe whole communities live under constant threat and band together for their very survival. For those lured to the mountain extremes, tragedy often strikes.

Threaded throughout this programme is exclusive coverage of NASA's mission to land on an asteroid. We also join scientists investigating how comets and asteroids may have been re-shaping evolution.
Raging Planet - Mysteries Of El Nino
El Nino is the mysterious phenomenon that has brought about the destruction of entire societies, including the Moche tribe of Peru. The complexity of its causes and effects has led meteorologists to regard El Nino as the biggest weather phenomenon on the planet. The 1982/83 El Nino was responsible for over 3000 deaths and $20 billion worth of damage. Consequently, the El Nino event of 1997/98 was the most monitored weather event in history.

Lightning bolts sear the planet, ripping through black clouds and blinding us with the power of 30 million light bulbs. Dust devils whip up a frenzy, wiping out vast stretches of the planet. Apocalyptic weather reigns on other planets in our solar system but until now has never been experienced by man.
Volcanoes around the world are heating up at an alarming rate and many scientists believe that this activity is more than a coincidence and that we are on the verge of a series of cataclysmic volcanic eruptions. Journey with us now as we take you into the heart of volcanoes in our quest to predict these looming disasters. In particular we focus on the city of Banos, in Ecuador, which lies in the shadows of the deadly volcano, Tungurahua, 'The Black Giant'.
Raging Planet - When Nature Rules
The Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, Hurricane Camille of 1969 and the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 were the worst natural disasters America can remember.

Raigyo takes its concept from a real life event in which a black clad woman murders a man that she had just met by chance through a phone sex club.

Ramallah Concert, The/ Knowledge Is The Beginning
The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra started as a Workshop in 1999 comprising talented young musicians between the ages of 14 and 25 from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Tunisia and Israel. The idea was that they would come together to make music on neutral ground, with the guidance of some of the world's best musicians. The Workshop has taken place annually since then, and now has a permanent home in Seville, Spain. In 2005 the Orchestra made a hugely-successful international tour that culminated in this extraordinary concert in the city of Ramallah. This was the first time the Orchestra gave a concert in one of its members' home countries. It was standing-room only in the 700-seat concert hall, and the atmosphere was electric. The programme included Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante in E flat major and Beethoven's Symphony No.5. The Ramallah Concert DVD features the entire concert, with an 18 minute prologue and a short epilogue showing events before and after the event. For example, the young Israeli members of the orchestra had to enter and leave the Palestinian Territory in bullet-proof cars and could not stay overnight. 'Knowledge Is The Beginning', by Paul Smazcny, is a powerful documentary about the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, filmed over 6 years, and includes footage of rehearsals and concerts in various countries, including the orchestra's first concert in an Arab country. This is a re-edited and much longer version of a documentary released earlier this year, including footage of Daniel Barenboim controversially receiving the Wolf Prize from the Israeli parliament.

Gittoes follows a premise set up by the soldier musician Elliott Lovett, in Soundtrack to War, Iraq ?we get shot at more in Miami than Baghdad?. Rampage takes us to a battered project near Miami airport, to meet the Lovett Family and the Brown Sub community, and explores the ways out ? war, music, or death. Elliot Lovett (23), the soldier Gittoes meets in a rap battle in Baghdad, links the two worlds of war, and takes us to Miami- where we meet street smart, Marcus Lovett (20), considered by Elliot to be the most talented rap artist of the family, and little brother, Denzell (14). When a 16 yr old hit man murders his talented older brother during the making of the film, Denzell is left with his lyrics and demo Cds, to carry the family?s desperate hope that their music will get them out of the ghetto. Opening a chance for Denzell, the film glides from the gutter of Brown Sub, Miami ? the tough street world that Denzell has rapped about in ?Rampage? - to the giddy heights of the New York offices where Denzell meets, head on, the tests of the music business. A host of other characters become windows into the human landscape of America?s South, as Gittoes gets it down as it happens on the street, stepping outside the hypes and stereotypes, bringing us a startling contemporary portrait of America. RAMPAGE gets us into the inner workings of Urban Culture which has risen out of the poverty of America?s poorest communities to become the dominant popular influence on world youth, music and fashion.
