It's not Iraq, or Israel, or Afghanistan. But it is a region being torn apart by war and chaos, and is costing millions of lives. The war in Congo is very difficult to actually see. No one is quite sure what is going on in the countryside because it is so dangerous. There are U.N. peacekeepers there, although short of controlling a couple of the towns, it's unclear just what exactly they will be able to do. The people caught up between the opposing sides out in the countryside are on their own, and they're paying the price. Congo's civil war has raged for years this way, a bloody struggle between rival ethnic groups, the Hema and Lendu tribes, that has been supercharged by greed. Congo is cursed by its wealth of natural resources, gold, diamonds, and other minerals. Human lives are cheap by comparison. More than three million have been lost in this war, mostly through disease and starvation. Correspondent: David Wright Airdate: 6/13/2003

To his supporters, he is a charismatic populist committed to helping the poor. To his detractors, he follows in a long tradition of Latin American military leaders, a strongman who will brook no opposition with increasingly dictatorial tendencies. Hugo Chavez is the president of Venezuela. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in our part of the world and is the fourth largest supplier of foreign oil to the United States. He led a failed coup in his country in 1992 but then swept to power in 1998, elected (twice) on an anti-corruption platform. He has weathered a coup attempt against him, a recall referendum and a general strike. In the battle of the rich against the poor, the poor are solidly behind him and he is putting his money where his mouth is -- pouring his country's oil windfall into public health, education and state-subsidized groceries. Who is this man, and why has he become such a thorn in the side of the United States? He blames the large poverty gap in Latin America on the United States (for backing free market reforms), and his anti-American rhetoric is striking a chord, and not just in his own country. Hugo Chavez sat down with Ted Koppel for an exclusive interview.When sold by Amazon.com, this product will be manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

This report features a remarkable AIDS patient, Nkosi Johnson, a little boy you won't soon forget. In June 2001 correspondent Jim Wooten reported the obituary of an AIDS patient, a young twelve-year-old boy in South Africa who was born HIV-positive and outlived the prediction of his doctors by years. Nkosi struck such a cord with Jim that he turned the story in to a book, ''We Are All The Same: A Story of a Boy's Courage and a Mother's Love.'' This program shows us Jim's original report on Nkosi, and Ted will talk to him about why that little boy struck such a chord with him. Also contained on this DVD is a moment from the first 25 years of ''Nightline.'' Archbishop Desmond Tutu reflects on AIDS and the Almighty.Airdate: 12/3/04Anchor: Ted Koppel

But there is something odd... take a closer look, and one can see that the babies are fakes. It is a bizarre new trend that's increasingly popular.-A Serial Surrogate Mother: Many women say one of the greatest things they can do is give birth.

It was a traffic accident in Buffalo, New York. Cynthia Wiggins, a young black woman, was hit by a truck as she tried to cross a busy highway on her way to a suburban mall. She never regained consciousness and died from her injuries, leaving an infant son behind.But, as Ted Koppel pointed out when he first reported this story, why she died and why she was on that highway to begin with divided the community along racial lines. The black community labeled the incident racist because the upscale mall had banned inner-city busses.The case wound up in court, as many accidents do. Some in the community feared that the trial would be divisive, others worried that the racial issues were never fully recognized in the first place. But after opening arguments and a handful of witnesses, the parties agreed to settle. Airdate: 11/22/99
