COSTA RICA:
THE ROAD TO EQUALITY
(6'33") View this story

Around the world, desperate people are on the move, driven from their homes by wars or poverty. Many assume life will be better in a wealthy place like Europe. But too often, their hopes are shattered. This story leads to Greece -- where for many, it is the end of a long road -- and of their dreams.

In Latin America one woman hopes to make history by becoming the region's first black president. In Costa Rica we meet a person who says she is raising her voice for the tens of thousands of people who are rarely heard.

ABOUT THE SERIES
UNTV's series of 12 x 26' news-magazine programmes puts a spotlight on the world's most underreported stories. Each episode features 2-3 character-driven, human interest stories that reflect some of the most important issues affecting the world, and our lives today. Our cameras offer unique and often unparalleled access to people and places and stay to bring you the stories as they unfold over time, long after other news outlets leave. From the child labour situation in Tanzania to the woman's struggle in Afghanistan, from the poverty streets in Somalia to the frontline of the guerilla war in Colombia, this series brings home the stories viewers care about, but rarely see. Presented as a fully-packaged programme, and also available by feature segment (approximately 8' each), 21st Century incorporates narrative storytelling with balanced, accurate reporting and is adaptable to local languages. Currently fifty international broadcasters air the magazine monthly, including BBC World and RTVE.
