Based on the novels by Winston Graham, this made-for-TV movie follows the highly acclaimed 1970s TV series telling the story of Cornish mine owner, Captain Ross Poldark (John Bowe).
Ten years have passed from the ending of the original series and, in this feature length edition, Poldark is now a Westminster MP. While Poldark is based in London, his wife Demelza (Mel Martin) and their son Jeremy (Ioan Gruffud) battle to keep the family's mining interests alive. When the Tory government decide to continue the War with France, it spells disaster for his arch rival George Warleggan. Will Poldark be able to take advantage of Warleggan's misfortune and protect the livelihood of the Cornish communities?
Meanwhile romance and intrigue are in the air, as Poldark's daughter Clowance is torn between the love of an aristocratic young man and a mysterious stranger, Stephen Cravenson.

Fair trade has come a long way in the last 20 years. "The Fair
Trade Revolution" celebrates the movement's achievement and takes
up the challenge of improving more lives through fair dealing with
producers. Fair Trade is now mainstream, with large companies like
Cadbury's and supermarkets such as Sainsbury's producing and
stocking many fair trade products. The authors of this collection,
many of whom were responsible for the initial success of Fair
Trade, emphasize the importance of ensuring that farmers and other
producers remain the main beneficiaries. Punchy chapters,
illustrated with many real-world examples, cover all the important
issues including the tensions between large and small operators,
the impact of recession, environmental policy and the danger of
large operators embracing Fair Trade more in word than in practice.
Written by the leading lights of the Fair Trade movement, including
Harriet Lamb (Executive Director of the Fairtrade Foundation) and
Bruce Crowther (Establisher of the world's first Fair Trade Town)
this book will inspire activists and consumers to keep making the
right choices.

Most Americans are shocked to discover that slavery still exists in
the United States. Yet 145 years after the Emancipation
Proclamation, the CIA estimates that 14,500 to17,000 foreigners are
"trafficked" annually into the United States, threatened with
violence, and forced to work against their will. Modern people
unanimously agree that slavery is abhorrent. How, then, can it be
making a reappearance on American soil?
Award-winning journalist John Bowe examines how outsourcing,
subcontracting, immigration fraud, and the relentless pursuit of
"everyday low prices" have created an opportunity for modern
slavery to regain a toehold in the American economy. Bowe uses
thorough and often dangerous research, exclusive interviews,
eyewitness accounts, and rigorous economic analysis to examine
three illegal workplaces where employees are literally or virtually
enslaved. From rural Florida to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to the U.S.
commonwealth of Saipan in the Western Pacific, he documents
coercive and forced labor situations that benefit us all, as
consumers and stockholders, fattening the profits of dozens of
American food and clothing chains, including Wal-Mart, Kroger,
McDonald's, Burger King, PepsiCo, Del Monte, Gap, Target, JCPenney,
J. Crew, Polo Ralph Lauren, and others.
In this eye-opening book, set against the everyday American
landscape of shopping malls, outlet stores, and Happy Meals, Bowe
reveals how humankind's darker urges remain alive and well,
lingering in the background of every transaction-and what we can do
to overcome them.
Praise for Nobodies:
"Investigative, immersion reporting at its best . . . Bowe is a
master storyteller whose work is finely tuned and fearless."
-"USA Today "
"A brilliant and readable tour of the modern heart of darkness,
"Nobodies" takes a long, hard look at what our democracy is
becoming."
-Thomas Frank, author of "What's the Matter with Kansas?"
"Bowe dramatizes in gripping detail these stolen lives."
-"O: The Oprah Magazine"
"The vividness of Bowe's local stories might make you think twice
before reaching for that cheap fruit or pair of discount
socks."
-"Conde Nast Portfolio"
