In the steamy gloom of a Costa Rican rain forest ants march in armies, lizards walk on water, spiders snare and pounce. Below, in its sunlit glades, birds and butterflies splash it with colour. Above, the call of hidden monkeys further enliven this secret place. But the rich variety of life within the jungle of tropical forest is only matched by our ignorance of it. In this film prize-winning cameraman David Hughes reveals some of the many secrets of the jungle.

His English cult-centre is in Suffolk, in a house called Medina. Here, 150 disciples from all walks of life strive to purge themselves of their guilt feelings. They sing and dance, go into trances and wear only pink or red clothes. They work long hours at the Medina's profitable business ventures - for f 5.50 a week.
