From NATO:  “The NATO Chronicles” are five documentaries and a web documentary (www.natochronicles.org) that take viewers to the heart of the Alliance’s missions. With a rigorous journalistic approach, the stories throw new light on programmes and initiatives that are little-known to the public. Combating piracy, air policing, energy security and scientific cooperation – the NATO Chronicles introduce you to people in the Alliance, civilians and servicemen and women, who are working to make this world a safer place. …

Avoiding clichés and preconceived ideas, but focusing on day-to-day events with a human face, the NATO Chronicles let the men and women on the scene tell us about:

• Combating piracy in the Gulf of Aden and the Somali Basin;
• NATO’s contribution to the energy security of member and partner nations through its network of pipelines;
• How NATO supports Afghan students by providing universities with high-speed internet connections;
• New anti-terrorist aerial policing arrangements embracing Russia and neighbouring NATO countries; and
• Research programmes that are developing ecological agricultural systems in Georgia and promoting cooperation among Georgian, Armenian and Azeri scientists and farmers.
