Foot and Mouth
Summary
FMD (Foot and Mouth Disease) is feared among farmers. It decimates herds and severely impacts beef and milk production. Award winning producer Judith Kampfner looks at FMD control measures around the world. In Britain, she revisits an outbreak in 2001, which led to mass cattle killings. Virologist Jef Hammond, head of the FMD Reference Laboratory at the U.K.’s Institute for Animal Health lays out the risks. “The disease is the most highly infectious disease possibly of any virus ever known to man. It’s very difficult to prevent its transmission once started.” In South Korea, which has dealt with at least five outbreaks, the devastation of FMD can be seen in the anguish of farmers who have lost their livelihood. The United States has not seen an FMD outbreak in over fifty years. That is due to the vigilance of researchers on Plum Island, in New York. Run by the Department of Homeland Security, Plum Island is the only place in the U.S. where FMD is allowed to be studied. Virologist Luis Rodriguez gives us a tour of the facility and talks about the promise of vaccines that could be distributed to farms worldwide.

Three Lives of J. Krishnamurti
Summary
"Truth is a pathless land" said the Indian spiritual leader and iconoclast J. Krishnamurti. He taught pacifism and harmony; he sought freedom through a transformation of the human psyche. People flocked to follow him as he moved across continents and through much of the twentieth century, spreading his word. He never wanted to be called a guru and yet his followers (who included Hollywood film stars) insisted on it. Producer Judith Kampfner traces how a Brahmin boy from Chennai came to speak to world leaders in his Californian orange grove retreat in Ojai.
