Carte Blanche this Sunday (14 April 2013):
Modelling Scandal
The pornographic film industry is in decline with fewer and fewer movies being made and DVD sales waning. But not so for the Internet porn business, which has taken off with user generated content, often without the consent of those caught on camera. A Carte Blanche investigation reveals the lengths to which some go to exploit young women.

Greg SmithLittle more than a year ago, Greg Smith resigned from a top Wall Street bank in the most public way possible: in an explosive article in the New York Times, called “Why I Left Goldman Sachs”.
A media frenzy followed, Goldman Sachs went on the offensive and Greg disappeared. Or did he? Carte Blanche recently found him in Johannesburg.

Circus ElephantsAll over the world, circuses are moving away from using performing animals because of the cruelty associated with training them. Animal rights groups are slowly winning the war, but in parts of Asia elephants are still beaten into submission with bull hooks.
And who can forget the Tuli Elephant story in 1999, which exposed the cruel training methods of a game capturer. Carte Blanche finds out if our circuses are changing with the times.
