An Tinneas Tuiteamach/Epilepsy
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders in Scotland today, and around 54,000 suffer from it - that's 1 out of 97. It can affect anyone, and affect them at any time, and doesn't discrimiate between young and old.
There are about 40 different types of seizures, and a person may have more than one type. But the right treatment can make a huge difference. Support through specialist centres and specialist teams are vital to those who have epilepsy to support and help them. We meet some of those who live with it, and hear about how it impacts both their lives, and the lives of their families and carers, and how they control it, and even overcome it through treatment and surgery.
Poignant, moving and though provoking stories that raise awareness to a condition that to many is hidden - epilepsy.

Beyond the Gates
Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
