In September, The CNN Freedom Project partners with acclaimed Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor, star of ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ to see what modern-day slavery looks like in his home country, India.
The programme chronicles Kapoor’s trip to a remote village in North Indiawhere nearly all of the women have been sent into prostitution or sex slavery, often by male members of their own family or community. But thanks to work done by organisations like ‘PlanIndia’, the numbers of trafficking victims in this region are decreasing every month. Kapoor takes viewers on a revelatory journey to expose the horrific traditions that sanction the exploitation of innocent girls for familial commercial gain.

This September, MainSail gains an exclusive insight into the world of the super rich, featuring the 2011 Rolex Fastnet Race inSardinia.
A superyacht is a statement of success, customised to the exact requirements of the owners, who invest millions and many months of involvement before they see the launch of their dream. This process from the first design meeting to the yachts first sail usually takes more than three years; from the materials to the shipyard that builds the boat, to the designer, there is no shortage of organisations and individuals pitching to be part of the multi-million dollar superyacht business.
Host Shirley Robertson meets one man from the design world who has become a dominant force in the industry, Ed Dubois, to find out more about his successes in the arena and to discuss hosting his own event in Porto Cervo for owners of the superyachts he has created. Behind-the-scenes with the British designer and his team at their studio headquarters in Sardinia, Shirley spends time with him on board his classic race yacht, ‘Firebrand’ which competed in and won the legendary 1965 Fastnet Race – Dubois both a crew member and the designer of the winning yacht.
The programme also joins a crew in the 2011 Rolex Fastnet Race meeting with one of the sailors, who like Dubois in his early years, is at the beginning of what he hopes will be a long and successful career in the sailing world.
