From his front-row seat in the courtroom, New York Times journalist Jack MacCormac was spellbound by the horror that unfolded. In the rural farming village of Nagyrev, a group of wives had formed the most sensational murder ring in existence: The Angel Makers. Led by a sharp-minded midwife known as Auntie Suzy, numerous women rid themselves of unwanted relatives, nearly all of whom were men, spooning doses of arsenic into soup and wine, stirring it into biscuits and brandy. It would take over 15 years and 160 deaths before the unlikely gang of murderesses came to justice. Patti McCracken pieces together the lives of Auntie Suzy, her wide network of killers, the unsuspecting victims and the villagers who witnessed it all.

Would you eat them if you knew they caused bowel cancer? Following ten years of detailed investigation, documentary film-maker Guillaume Coudray presents a powerful examination of the use of nitro-additives in meat. As he reveals, most mass-produced processed meats, and now even many `artisanal' products, contain chemicals that react with meat to form cancer-causing compounds. He tells the full story of how, since the 1970s, the meat-processing industry has denied the health risks because these additives make curing cheaper and quicker, extending shelf life and giving meat a pleasing pink colour.
