Peter Donat

An East Coast community in Ruatōria, New Zealand attempts to live in autarchy according to the tenets of their movement. Bob Marley, a prophet of our electronic age, is the soundtrack to the everyday lives of these Māori who feel closer to their own roots by observing a blend of Afro-Carribean Rastafarianism and the Ringatū faith. Merata Mita's camera respectfully portrays this singular cultural dialogue. The outsider cultures of Jamaicans, Ethiopians and Māori have come together, vibrating to a common cosmic chord. They find an underground brotherhood, across continents and seas.

Top Gear: The Races

Nov 10, 2006

Le Mans? Not gruelling enough. Indy 500? Too slow. Monaco? No glamour. Forget them all - here are the three greatest races ever filmed. Somebody made the mistake of telling Jeremy that the car isn't a fast enough way to cover distance anymore. He took serious exception. He also took a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, a McLaren SLR and a Bugatti Veyron on three legendary transcontinental blasts to prove his point. The competition? Richard and James driving planes, trains and boats. And not having as much fun...

The White Lions

May 9, 2012

White lions are among the rarest and most treasured animals in the world. Rarer still is their survival in the wild. Their white color stands out in Africa’s wild bush country, increasing their risk of being targeted and killed by rival predators and marauding adult male lions. Only three white cubs have reached adulthood in the wilds of South Africa since white lions were first documented there in 1975. Now, two white cubs, sisters, have beaten the odds, surviving all the challenges of their youth with the help of two remarkable lionesses—their mother, Matimba, and their aunt, Khanya. Without an adult male lion to protect their small pride, Matimba and Khanya must rely solely on their own knowledge, strength and courage to protect their family.
