Ricky Gervais as advocate for 46664
Actor Ricky Gervais shares a few bone-chilling statistics with t5m. The comedian makes no jokes in sharing his support for both World AIDS Day and Nelson Mandela’s 46664 charity. ‘In the time it takes for me to tell you this, at least 3 sub-Saharan African children have been orphaned due to AIDS.’ That means that by the time you finish reading this, almost ten children have lost the love of a parent, home, and way of life, many before the age of 14. This rate is shockingly high. With the right medication, people living with HIV/AIDS can live a normal life, remaining able to take care of children and loved ones. It’s in our hands.

Salma Hayek for Mandela’s: It’s in our hands
Salma Hayek joins the many other celebrity advocates to support both World AIDS Day and Nelson Mandela’s 46664 charity, in search of awareness and a cure for the AIDS epidemic. She speaks with t5m about some startling statistics and how we must join together to fight the devastating effects of AIDS. ‘Over 30 countries say that the stigma and discrimination against people living with AIDS still lives on. And indeed continues to spread almost like the disease itself.’ Battling further discrimination against the millions of people living with the disease is a main objective in Nelson Mandela’s 46664 campaign.

46664: Christian Slater says - It’s in our hands
The AIDS epidemic is not to be ignored. While the 46664 concert event brought many musicians out to show their support in Nelson Mandela’s fight against the disease, many other celebrities came out to rally in support. Here, actor Christian Slater tells t5m some alarming facts about the rapid spread of the disease. In the 25 years since AIDS was registered as a disease, 65 million people have been infected, and over 25 million people have died. With support and awareness, this number can be decreased. It’s in our hands.

The Transition (James Allen Smith)
The advent of computerized trading is forcing floor traders to make a sobering choice: adapt or get out. In 'The Transition', we meet Rob Proniewski, a trader faced with such a decision. It's a way of life, of ego and excess that can't be found anywhere else - but it's disappearing like so many parts of our increasingly digitized world. What path will he choose and what are the obstacles that stand in his way?

McLibel
It was the biggest corporate disaster ever. Two penniless activists hauled McDonald's through the longest trial in English history, determined to defend their right to criticise the company. But that wasn't enough for the 'McLibel 2'. Next they took the British Government to court, arguing that the original trial was unfair because they were forced to defend themselves against the country's most expensive lawyers. Against all odds, they won! The UK's notorious libel laws will now have to be rewritten.

FLOORED Episode 8
A world that's more riot than profession, the trading floors of Chicago are a place where gambling your family's mortgage is all in a day's work. Floored offers a unique window to this lesser-known world of finance. These men may not have degrees, but they've got guts, and penchant for excess that solicits simultaneous feelings of revulsion and admiration.
