When the World Listened

We investigate the moment Hilary Clinton establishes her global profile.

Risking political controversy and international condemnation, Hilary Clinton delivers an electrifying speech that reverberates around the world. We hear from eyewitnesses as she sets out a compelling and devastating case that women's rights are human rights. We explore the implications of the speech that established her as a globally important political figure - both at the White House and internationally.

Malala Yousafzai made global headlines when she was shot in the head for speaking out against Taliban militants. Barely a year later, she addressed the United Nations Youth Takeover and gave an inspiring speech in support of education for women, girls and children. We hear from another Youth Ambassador who watched the speech and explore the impact of this incredible young woman’s speech.

The birth of the smart phone signalled a revolution in technology. A black rectangle on a big screen – that was the first glimpse the world had of the iPhone as Steve Jobs delivered a key note speech like no other, blowing his competition out of the water. We discover the reactions of the public, press and people in the industry to this game-changing piece of technology, and the introduction of an ultimate digital device.
