Ice Pack
In the remote wilderness of arctic Canada, a pack of white wolves has scented prey: musk ox.
As the frozen landscape emerges from five months of winter darkness, photographer
Jim Brandenburg and biologist David Mech travel north to spend an arctic summer in the company of wolves. In stark contrast to their previous experiences, they were soon accepted by the pack, and in the coming months they witnessed aspects of wolf society beyond their expectations. Narrated by Barry Paine. Producer Robin Hellier BBC Bristol (R)

One of the most powerful and admired British films of recent years, this recreation of an extraordinary true story was winner of three Academy Awards.
Cambodia 1973: American journalist Sydney Schanberg and his guide Dith Pran are operating out of the war-torn ruins of Phnom Penh. When the Khmer Rouge armies enter the city they are welcomed with open arms. But foreign journalists become the targets of hatred and soon Schanberg and his colleagues are rounded up and look certain to be executed.
