Libya Renditions: The CIA, MI6 and Gaddafi's Secret Prisons

How British and US secret services collaborated with the former Libyan regime to detain and torture dissidents.

In 2004, Sami al-Saadi and Abdel-Hakeem Belhaj - two Libyan opponents of the Muammar Gaddafi regime - were abducted en route to the United Kingdom, then repatriated to Libya where they were imprisoned and tortured.

But following the 2011 uprising and the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime, the two men - who were released from detention in 2010 - began to investigate the real story behind their abduction, and the role played by the UK government.

Two years later in 2013, Al Jazeera's Juliana Ruhfus gained exclusive access to the men as they returned to Libya in search of answers.

The Lizard King: Illegal Wildlife Trade's Poster Boy

An undercover investigation into the man at the heart of illegal wildlife trading. Is the Lizard King back in business?

The illegal trade in wildlife is thought to be worth at least $19bn a year, a sum rivalled only by the black markets in drugs, counterfeit goods and people.

But while drugs and people smuggling are seen as profitable but extremely risky, the wildlife trade has become increasingly attractive to criminal networks because it is not only lucrative but the risks are far lower.

Australia's Lost Generation: Battling Aboriginal Suicide

Australian Aboriginal youth suicide rates are among the highest in the world, so how can communities save their youths?

Young Aborigines are four times more likely to commit suicide than non-indigenous Australians. Experts and Aboriginal elders believe a variety of reasons drive Aboriginal youth to suicide, including a disconnection from traditional culture and land.

In 2012, 101 East travelled to Western Australia's Kimberley region to find out what was behind the abnormally high suicide rates there. Numbers were the highest among Australia's Aboriginal youth.

Children of Conflict: Growing up in Gaza (video)

Rewind meets the grandchildren of Fatima al-Najar, Palestine's oldest female suicide bomber, a decade on.

Around the world, millions of children are the unheard voices of war. And the horrors they witness today will inform the adults they become tomorrow. Will they grow up to be the next leaders, teachers or freedom fighters?

Gaza is a virtual prison with hardly any way in or out. In 2007, Al Jazeera entered Gaza to talk to the grandchildren of Fatima al-Najar, who had achieved a strange kind of fame as the oldest female Palestinian suicide bomber.

Born in Gaza: The deadly blockade

The story of a family trying to get their sick infant son out of Gaza to save his life.

To a large extent our life chances are determined by where we're born. For Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, living in the tight confines of an enclave starved of adequate medical resources, the birth of a child can become a matter of life and death when a family cannot get access to the medical treatment that baby or mother needs. 

Rewind: Daughters of the Brothel

Raised in a brothel, Naseema founded an NGO to fight for the rights of sex workers in a village in northeast India.

Chatrubhuj Sthan in Bihar Province, eastern India has more than 3,000 sex workers who ply the oldest profession in the world. 

In the face of the extreme legal and social discrimination experienced by the prostitutes, a group of intrepid women, who themselves grew up in brothels, set up a workers' rights organisation - Parcham (meaning flag).

They offer women an opportunity to seek other forms of income, provide education for their children and work constantly to close down sex-trafficking routes.

Iran: After the protests

Acclaimed French filmmaker Manon Loizeau gives a unique behind-the-scenes perspective on the people and events involved in the protest movement that swept Iran eight years ago.

Filmed on the streets of Tehran, the documentary charts the growing tensions in the build-up to the presidential elections of June 12, 2009, the rallies and marches that followed the controversial official announcement of the result and the government's subsequent aggressive clampdown on dissidents and protesters.

Loizeau followed a group of young Iranians throughout this extraordinary period and captures why they were so angry and willing to risk everything to bring change and political reform to their country. 

Deadliest beat: Reporting on Mexico's war on drugs

The inside story of Mexico's drug war as seen through the work of two newspapers in Sinaloa state back in 2011.

The daily headlines in the Mexican media are filled with the litany of death and violence that is Mexico today. 

The Deadliest Beat is the inside story of Mexico's drug war as seen through the work of two newspapers in Sinaloa, northwestern Mexico. As the journalists risk their lives to cover - and uncover - the story, the dangers of their work unfold.

Photojournalist Ernesto Martinez reflects on the personal cost to him and his family of his work, while he follows and films the grim fallout of drug wars. And the newsmen of the weekly paper Riodoce tackle the complex politics behind the war on drugs, chasing stories that more than hint at collusion and corruption in high places.

Inside Myanmar: After the Crackdown

In 2007, Al Jazeera went undercover in Myanmar to report on monks' protests and the resulting crackdown by the military.

Back in 2007, the people of Myanmar were still living under harsh military rule. Among the first major international news stories Al Jazeera covered was the Myanmar government's brutal crackdown on peacefully protesting monks. 

News reaching the outside world at that time was scarce. But Al Jazeera correspondent Tony Birtley was one of the few international journalists who had managed to get into the country, and was able to film the unfolding events while working undercover at the very heart of the protests. 

Ten years later, Yangon-based journalist Fiona MacGregor tells REWIND how the story has moved on.

What became of Egypt's Arab Spring activists?

At the beginning of the Arab Spring, we gained access to the activists behind Egypt's protests. What has become of them?

In the earliest days of the Arab Spring, People & Power gained exclusive access to a group of young activists behind Egypt's unprecedented political protests as they coordinated their supporters to ensure the protests they had started on January 25, 2011 would continue. The key event was the Friday "Day of Rage". 

The organisers, Ahmed Maher and Mohammed Adel, were trying to get a million people out on to Tahrir Square. The events are seen from inside the HQ of the movement, witnessing all the excitement, worry and planning entailed in this attempt to change the course of Egypt's political history. 

Pakistan's War: On the Frontline

A look back at Rageh Omaar's journey into the tribal heartlands to investigate Pakistan's role in the 'war on terror'.

In 2009, Al Jazeera's Rageh Omaar travelled to the frontline of the Pakistani Army's campaign against the insurgents in the Bajaur Agency, codenamed Operation Sherdil (or Lionheart). This is where al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden's deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri, and their foreign fighters were thought to be based.

The army believed that defeating the insurgents here would be crucial to success in the rest of the country because Bajaur borders Kunha in Afghanistan, a key point of entry for Taliban crossing into Pakistan from Afghanistan.

The Veil

Why do some women decide to wear the veil, while others opt to keep their hair and faces uncovered?

In 2008, before the Arab Spring and the recent controversies in France and elsewhere, the debate about whether Muslim women should wear the veil was already beginning to grow.

Al Jazeera's Everywoman series travelled to Egypt to find out more about why some women choose to wear a veil, while others opt to keep their hair and faces uncovered.

The film reveals much about contrasting attitudes, about freedoms and choices, about perceptions of modesty and privacy and about the strong reactions that women get, whichever decision they make.
