Al Gore finds life after the politically crushing embarrassment that was his tenure as vice president and, frankly, it's unlikely he will experience another point as high as his achievement in this profound, engaging and, mercifully, clear documentary on the consequences of our complacent greed. That ‘An Inconvenient Truth' provides little in the way of true revelations pertaining to the earth's (humanity's) looming ecological demise, and ignores some of the more profound problems of trapped car find out more...

The controversial and moving story of the late Joy Adamson and her husband. The film charts her obsessive devotion to her lions, and to Elsa in particular, as they try and train her for release into the wild. A sensitive and magnificently filmed portrayal of an unusual true story. A great score too. Living Free is the humble sequel, but worth a watch if you REALLY like lions... find out more...

A very honest biopic, telling the story of Dian Fossey, the woman who gave her life to study and protect the African mountain gorillas. Sigourney Weaver narrowly missed an Oscar for her superb portrayal of this brave and determined, if at times unlikeable, woman and the dangerous tactics that killed her. All that's missing is a face-off between Fossey and Jane Goodall as they do battle, tactically using their respective primate armies to ensure their bloody victory as Queen of the Jungle. Oh wel find out more...

The Mountain Patrol are a pitifully ill-equipped and underfunded volunteer force fighting a relentless, and seemingly hopeless, battle against the poachers of Tibet's increasingly rare antelopes. Based on a true story and shot in a pseudo-documentary style, "Mountain Patrol" is a visually ravishing and grippingly brutal tale of men surviving on what seems like the edge of the world. Set in the beautiful harsh landscapes of Tibet, the locations are stunning, and the local colour vivid. find out more...
