Child SlaveryPremiere date: Saturday, 14 June 2008 at 09h10
Repeats: Saturdays at 17h10 and 21h10
Around the world, children are bought and sold like bags of sugar. They break stones in quarries, clean and cook for their owners, work in plantations and service sex tourists.
Beaten, abused and worked to death, these children are denied any contact with their families. About 14 million children are enslaved today worldwide - more than at any time in history.
Child Slavery follows presenter Rageh Omaar on a journey across five continents, as the children tell their stories.

Repeats: Saturdays at 19h10, Sundays at 03h10 and 16h10.
How should art depict the relationship between man and God? How can art best express eternal values? Can you - and should you - portray the face of Christ? For more than 1,000 years these were some of the questions which taxed the minds of the greatest artists.
In this three-part series, art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon sets out to unravel the mysteries of art from the pre-perspective era.
