We Love Dublin is an exciting new television series that will be broadcast on Dublin Community Television (DCTV) and made available online after broadcast. WLD will aim to show the incredible ethnic diversity of Dublin City whilst also highlighting the broad range of attractions that make the city such an incredible place to live!

The goal of the programme is to show Dublin through the eyes of Dubliners of immigrant extraction who have developed a deep love of Dublin and want to share this passion with a broader community, both locally and overseas. We want you to tell us your story, share the passion for the city and be part of this exciting project!

The trailer for an award-winning film about the inordinately brave folk risking their lives to advocate gay rights in Uganda.

In Uganda, a new bill [the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Act 2014, previously known as the ‘Kill The Gays Bill’] threatens to make homosexuality punishable by death. David Kato, Uganda’s first openly gay man, and retired Anglican Bishop Christopher Senyonjo work against the clock to defeat state-sanctioned homophobia while combating vicious persecution in their daily lives. But no one is prepared for the brutal murder that shakes their movement to its core and sends shock waves around the world.

Strong winds over North Africa has led to sand being displaced from the Sahara Desert and following a path up through parts of Europe.

They come here, etc.
