Making their mark: the individuals behind the headlines

Available for over a year

We meet the people refusing to be at the mercy of global events - instead, they're making their mark on the world around them. People like Habeb, who shows Mary Harper around the mental hospital he started from scratch in Somalia. Or like Diran, who tells Abigail Fielding Smith that he's determined to keep his iconic Beirut video shop open, despite uncertainty in Lebanon. We'll also meet the men in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Ruth Alexander speaks of her apprehension at meeting convicted murderer Raffaele Sollecito in Italy, while Will Grant is surprised by the indifference among Mexicans at the capture of their most wanted druglord. Plus, we'll be finding out how to become famous, Romanian style - as Caroline Juler catches up with Ghita the celebrity shepherd.
