THE UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY OF DICK CHENEY
American Vice-President Dick Cheney
has walked the corridors of world power for three decades.
Cheney's remarkable life story involves the relentless accumulation of power
in every form. Elected for a second term, he continues to be one of the most
powerful and well-connected men in the world. The fifth
estate will show how
he accomplished this, what it involved in terms of costs for others and what
history's judgement could be.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?
Benny Hinn may be the most popular personality in the
Christian world today. Thousands pack arenas to see
him heal the sick and the afflicted. Tens of thousands
more watch his television program. Millions of dollars
are donated every year to his ministry, none of which
he says goes to him personally. But, what about those
miracles? And where does all that money go? Bob McKeown
investigates.

STICKS AND STONES
The United States is in the midst of a very un-civil
war. It's a war of words that's pitting conservative
against liberal, that's already divided the country
into red and blue. The new gladiators are commentators
like Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter and their forum
is the television studios of networks like Fox. It's
loud, it's raucous, but does it have anything to do
with the truth?

FIRST, DO NO HARM
Almost everyone has the same feeling: there may be
a few bad doctors out there, doctors who harm their
patients, but not MY doctor. My doctor's terrific.
But, what if that wasn't the case? What would happen
then?
Gillian Findlay investigates the case of one doctor, Errol Wai-Ping, a gynecologist
accused of mistreating, misdiagnosing and botching the surgeries of dozens of
women. And yet, complaints from patients to medical authorities went unheeded
for more than a decade.

DARK CRYSTAL
Sweeping across the towns and cities of western Canada
and headed eastward at an alarming pace is the drug
known as crystal meth. It's more addictive than heroin
or cocaine at a fraction of the cost and the high it
gives can last for days. And, unlike heroin or cocaine,
it can be cooked up in an kitchen or basement lab using
a recipe posted on internet sites and with ingredients
found on the shelves at the local pharmacy.
Gillian Findlay investigates how two towns in British Columbia's interior are
dealing with a crystal meth epidemic among their young people.

NOTE: the fifth estate is now making some of its programs available online as a service to its viewers. Although we would like to offer all of our programs, this is not possible. Internet rights cannot be obtained as it would be cost prohibitive to clear stock footage and music rights for some of our shows.
