Battleground: rhino wars
The world renowned Greater Kruger area of South Africa, just north of Johannesburg, is the new ground zero in a war to protect magnificent creatures on the edge of extinction.

Shark attack experiment live!
Are sharks really out to get us? Are these predators mindless man eaters demonized by the popular media and movies like “Jaws”? That’s the driving question behind this high-adrenaline, two-hour live National Geographic event. Shark Attack Experiment: LIVE! will beam from the world’s most shark-infested location off the coast of South Africa. Here, a team of free-diving shark junkies and conservationists put their own safety on the line to run a series of hi-tech tests to separate shark attack myths from realities. Also on location during Shark Attack Experiment: LIVE! are shark attack survivors willing to tell their stories and enter the water, some for the first time since their traumatic encounters. Their objective is no stunt; their goal is to raise public awareness that the world’s shark species are being destroyed by overfishing.

Tornado is a true life film of patience, endurance and passion. Directed by Regardt van den Bergh, the picture tells the story of two damaged souls: Pierre, a depressed and damaged young man and Tornado, an emotionally tormented horse.

With Barrie’s advice, Pierre and Tornado embark on a journey of healing and self discovery, one that will change their lives forever. Tornado, an Arab horse of the purest bloodline, was pushed too hard and too fast, to become a show horse. He developed Self Mutilation Syndrome, and became a danger to himself and others. Sterility, brought on by stress, made him worthless to his owner. Until he met Pierre, his future seemed bleak. Once a top athlete with a passion for running, Pierre’s dreams were shattered when he was crippled by rheumatism. Plagued by insecurity and depression, he too turned to self-mutilation

The last lioness
A haunting call echoes across the Liuwa Plain. There is no answer, there hasn't been for years. She has no pride, no support - she alone must safeguard her own survival. Her name is Lady Liuwa, and she is the Last Lioness.
