Extraordinary personal stories from around the world. Today, a former prisoner at the Abu Salim prison in the Libyan capital recounts a massacre in which it is believed over 1,200 prisoners died. We hear from Mir, the 18-year-old from northern Afghanistan whose life growing up in rural poverty is the subject of a new film. And the real life Slumdog Millionaire - the Indian IT worker who won one million dollars on TV. We watch the programme with his family.
