Fenced in behind high mountains, largely bypassed by history, the hill tribes of the Philippines have had a unique opportunity to evolve at their own pace: thus they still pursue the blood-feuds of their head-hunting ancestors, but now also have an organised police force; still carry out pagan sacrifices, though many now regard themselves as Christians.
It was into this society that Professor Christoph von Furer-Haimendorf, anthropologist and explorer, took his cameras to record the beauty of their mountain rice fields and the savagery of their pagan buffalo sacrifices -sacrifices which some viewers may find almost too brutal but which are perfectly natural to the descendants of head-hunters.
A film by Professor Christoph von Furer-Haimendorf
Written and produced by Richard Robinson

Salcombe is an idyllic sleepy town on the Devon coast; a heaven that many dream of for retirement. A population of 2,500 that suddenly in the summer months explodes to 12,000.
A Year in the Life takes an affectionate look at this very English society, as, through the seasons, a boat hirer, a retired civil servant, and a businessman cope with the year in the seaside town of Salcombe.
