   Running with Atalanta
 Produced by: David Swatling
 Ten years ago, two young women were studying law – one in The
Netherlands and the other in Latvia. Years later their lives would
intersect. Ruth Hopkins, researching a European Commission report on
the trafficking of women, interviewed Anna Ziverte – a victim who had
been forced to work as a prostitute in Rotterdam. The number of women
trafficked and exploited in the sex trade annually in Europe is
estimated to be as high as 700,000. Nearly a third are trafficked from
Eastern and Central European countries. Ziverte escaped her
traffickers only to find herself entangled in another nightmare – a
Dutch system where victims are perceived as illegal immigrants. Taking
matters into her own hands, she founded a support group called
Atalantas, inspired by the swift-footed goddess from Greek mythology
who could outrun any man. Producer David Swatling of Radio Netherlands
follows the journey of two women trying to find the light at the end
of a seemingly endless tunnel. This program airs as part of our
special international collaboration, Global Perspectives: The World of
Crime. [more]

 Fear on the Inside: Diary of Domestic Violence
 Produced by: Dan Collison
 Producer Dan Collison documents a week in the life of "Anna," a
battered woman in Chicago. The documentary begins three  days after
Anna's estranged husband has threatened to kill her and their baby at
gunpoint. Anna keeps an audio journal of her  attempt to have her
husband, who she says beat her repeatedly before they separated,
arrested. She tells of her frustration with  the police and legal
system and of her attempt to live a "normal life." [more]
