The
National Geographic Channel will end the month with a couple
of specials offering diverse perspectives. Inside the
Vatican airs on 30 March at 7.00 pm. The Vatican is
one of the most widely known places in the world. 524 people
reside in it. The State of Vatican City is the world's smallest
nation. Its leader the Pope, has the distinction of being
both its supreme civil authority and the head of the Roman
Catholic church.
The Vatican draws tourists due to its magnificent art, architecture,
manuscripts, books, and historical documents. This special
is inspired by the National Geographic book Inside the
Vatican. It will provide a rare glimpse of the Vatican
and the thriving community that exists within its walls.
Actor Martin Sheen The West Wing narrates the story.
On 31 March at 9pm watch Honour Killing in Pakistan.
Here filmmaker Mick Davie travels to Pakistan to expose
the practice of honour killing. A man can sometimes kill
a woman without punishment. In the story Zahida Perveen's
husband mutilated her and left her to die. But she lived
and fought back, demanded justice, and won. This is her
story, and the story of campaigners like her. The story
revolves around the Pakistani women's fight for equal rights.
