He lost his footing and fell in NHK - Japan between rocks. He tried to get help, but his phone had no reception. His two-way radio was “Two Souls, One Lifeline” his only lifeline.

This documentary tells the stories of three teachers who are visually impaired that work at ‘regular’ schools. These teachers not only teach on a level on par with teachers without disability, but also encourage students and fellow teachers to understand and accept the needs of people with disability rather than be suspicious of them. Furthermore, by overcoming their disability to become teachers, they show they are role models who send out the message that with much effort, dreams can come true, regardless of someone’s disability, race, or Busan English Broadcasting

DOCUMENTARY personal circumstances. The reality in Korea is clear: 90% of people who come to be visually Foundation impaired later in life become massage therapists, and likewise, people who were born visually BeFM - Busan impaired have very limited career choices. A rehabilitation center in the U.S. is also introduced “Teaching the Unseen World” in the hopes of offering insight into the lack of public policies for people with disability in Korea so that they can be expanded. Another aim behind the documentary was to also find ways for the talents of people with disability to be respected and for them to gain opportunities to contribute to the development of society; all the while provide a chance for people to think about how people without disability and people with disability can live in harmony.

Islamic Republic of Iran A terrible accident on the very first day of a man’s job as a teacher has totally changed his Broadcasting life. The rest of his life could be a total hell but a gift has changed it in a new way. IRIB - Iran “Turquoise Man”

In 1937, a Frenchman came across the Japanese military artillery and arrived at the City Temple of in Nantao District. He teased the children in Shanghai and gave them candies. After 77 years, a radio program producer, Jin Ya, stumbled across this historical image and was touched by the laughter of less than ten seconds in the war. She spent three years in the four countries of China, France, Germany and Switzerland, seeking historical traces of the Frenchman and those children. Eventually it was discovered that the Frenchman in the video, Father Jacquinot, founded the world’s first wartime civilian protection area since World War II, which is the Safety Zone of Nantao in Shanghai (also known as the Safety Zone of Jacquinot). It was included in the Fourth Geneva Convention as early as 1949 and became part of the international law. This effective model of truly SMG - China “Following the Sound” protecting civilians is still used by some conflicted regions in the world. However, nobody knows its history. In order to counter people’s incredible forgetfulness, Jin Ya tried to arouse people’s memory with sound. In 2017, on the second day of China National Memorial Day, a 90-year-old man returned to this old home with other refugee children at that time. Seeing some kids, he recalled that when he was a child, he was given a piece of candy by a foreign big-bearded grandfather. It turned out that peace, the world's most precious and sweetest gift, has accompanied him for eighty years. In the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the Safety Zone of Nantao, Jin Ya and her friends in Shanghai use a unique approach to express their lofty dedication to Father Jacquinot: in the temple dedicated to the patron saint of Shanghai, a monument has been established for a foreign friend for the first time ever.

They travel thousands China National Radio of kilometers, carrying with them hometown delicacies and love for their parents; they say, CNR - China mom and dad, thank you for working so hard out there. Eleven-year-old Jiaqi hasn’t seen his “Mom and Dad, I'm on way!” parents for half a year, but every day he recites poems to his mom on the phone and practices the erhu instrument. His wish is to eat hot mutton soup with his mom and dad. Before he leaves for Beijing, fourteen-year-old Haotian queues up in the wintry wind to buy his parents’ favorite fried meatballs. In Beijing, he doesn’t want to go anywhere for fun, but to help his parents with chores and keep studying aiming to attend a good high school. Ten- year-old Aoyu is already the man of the house. With his parents away from home, he takes care of his grandparents and five-year-old sister. He doesn’t need a holiday gift, but hopes his parents won’t work too hard. He escorts his sister to his parents in Shanghai, but is on his way back the next day, saying “I need to go home and take care of my grandma and grandpa, and great grandma.”
