Various locations of events.
In Rome, Italy, we see young boys between the ages of 10 and 14 learning about life on a ship, by taking part in a course on a large sailing ship embedded in concrete. They climb up the rigging and stand on the masts.
At the Imperial Mint in Oskara, Japan, we see a new currency made of bronze aluminium being manufactured. Several shots of the processes involved.
At the foot of Snowdon in North Wales, we see various shots of the picturesque village of Beddgelert. Commentator talks of the legend of the hound: Llewellyn, King of Wales in the 13th century, returned home to find his child missing and his dog stained with blood. He shot the dog, then discovered the child next to a dead wolf - the dog had killed the wolf in defence of the child. A woman and two boys look at a lengthy inscription on the dog's gravestone in a field.
On Llandwin Island, off the coast of Anglesey, we see several shots of 61-year-old Elizabeth Jones. The island has been taken over as a sanctuary by the Society for the Protection of Wild Birds and Elizabeth looks after them. She wears a hair net and overalls and carries a telescope, looking rather eccentric. Various shots of the whitestone lighthouse on the island and Elizabeth with her donkey, the only means of transport on the island.
At Franconia Hotch, New Hampshire, we see a new cable car that stretches across a canyon from the valley to the mountaintop. Brief shots of the view from the top of the mountain.

The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.

WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
