- This is a documentary about my relative, who was Wales' first Hollywood star. His name was Gareth Hughes. He was a silent movie star and was there at the very beginnings of Hollywood. He was friends with the likes of Hedda Hopper, who incidentally dedicated one of her last columns to him in the Los Angeles Times in 1963. Not only did he become the toast of Hollywood and earned as much as $2000 a week. He gives it all up and turned his back on acting. He then became a missionary to the Paiute People in place called Pyramid Lake Nevada. Dedicating 14 years of his life to serving people that nobody else at the time, could be bothered with. This is just a brief outline of this amazing man, who I have grown up knowing about but not understanding. But after making the documentary I have began to just understand Gareth Hughes.

Recent evidence suggests that the Black Death was NOT the Bubonic Plague, and that the true culprit may have an impact on our future as well as our past.

- In the last film Christopher Reeve made before the tragic accident which left him paralyzed, the 'Superman' actor searches the oceans for the mysterious Gray Whale. All his life he has been intrigued by the sea and its mammals. The gray whale in particular has always fascinated him because of its gruelling 10,000 mile annual migration. His search takes him from St Lawrence in Alaska to the lagoons of Baja California, where the whales traditionally spend the winter. Together with wildlife cameraman Bruce Reitherman he watches the whales at a distance as they mate and give birth.

- In 1974, the South African apartheid regime was under worldwide condemnation, and the country was banned from the Olympic Games and almost all international sporting events. In defiance of the developing international policy to isolate South Africa, the British and Irish Lions rugby team accepted the invitation to tour the country and play a test series against their ancient rivals, the legendary Springboks. This decision invoked a fierce reaction from the media and public, and the government disowned the team. The resulting series was one of the most violent the Lions ever played and the 22 matches produced remarkable rugby, including some of the most memorable tries in any series. After winning match after match, their captain christened them 'The Invincibles'. With footage showing Nelson Mandela's anti-apartheid movement and what life under the regime really meant for black South Africans, this film is a celebration of a remarkable rugby team and a poignant reminder of the scale of change in South Africa since that landmark tour.
