"Antibody" looks at the AIDS virus in Australia, how it is spread, how it can affect all sections of the community and how we cope as individuals and as a society. "Behind the veil part 2" reviews the few exceptional periods when women have played a dominant role in religious life e.g. in pre-Christian Celtic regions and the Middle Ages. Illustrates the development of male dominance in the Catholic Church and how nuns actively question the Church's male hierachy.
