Capturing Aleppo's Destruction on Film

The film capturing the war in Aleppo, Berlin's iconic nightclub, Hong Kong's cultural district, and protecting the Dead Sea using photography.

Syrian Armenian film-maker Avo Kaprielian discusses Houses Without Doors, his film capturing the bombardment of Aleppo from his parents' balcony in the city.

Also, Vivienne Chow reports from Hong Kong where the first venue in the $3 billion West Kowloon Cultural District has just opened, but does it live up to the hype? From Berlin, Lisa Ludwig reflects on the decision to classify iconic nightclub Berghain as 'high culture' and artist Spencer Tunick explains why he has returned to the Dead Sea, the scene of one of his most iconic mass naked photographs. Presented by Tina Daheley.
