... of the Church with Donald Reeves. 'There is something profoundly uninteresting and very boring about church and church services.'
Donald Reeves believes that institutional religion, with its worship and its rituals, fails to engage people's interest or meet their deepest needs. 'We have to find the occasions where we can let the pain out.... away with all this neutrality we have in our church services.'

Where in the world do people take a mud bath with baby elephants, ride bareback with a friendly cheetah and share a zebra crossing with several giraffes?

Down in the Great Rift Valley, Desmond confronts a bird with zoom lens eyes and looks for the animal who has learned to become invisible.

Pity the Nation:
Charles Glass's Lebanon On 17 June 1987, the American journalist Charles Glass was kidnapped by Shi'ite gunmen in Beirut. After 62 days he escaped, closing the book on an association with a country and a people lasting 15 years. He cannot go back. But in this film he offers a personal impression of the most memorable moments in those years. He takes us behind the news to the realities of violence, the endurance of the people, the best and worst of the place. He provides a picture of a world whose slow disintegration he witnessed until finally he became its victim.
One of the best and most heart-rending documentaries I've ever seen.
