Shark Warnings

Take a dive into the world’s oceans with Wild Chronicles. A team of
oceanographers is issuing an important warning. Not a warning that we
should fear for our safety, but for the safety of one the deep blue
sea’s most deadly creatures…Sharks.

Saving Florida’s Black Bears Beachfront homes and sunny weather make up a picture-perfect image of Florida. So where do the bears fit in? Florida is still home to a variety of wild animals, but increasing development may be carving up their habitats quickly. Wild Chronicles follows a group of conservationists and ranchers as they work together to make room for Florida’s native black bears. Play Now (requires QuickTime)

Herring Hazards Wild Chronicles dives into a big fish story. While the fish themselves may not be large in size, a herring’s importance as a source of food in the ocean is bigger than people know. Conservationists fear fishermen may be depleting this marine resource and hope they can do something about it. Play Now (requires QuickTime)

Lost World Rescue Wild Chronicles ventures to the jungles of Guyana–deep into the jungles of Guyana with an intrepid band of National Geographic scientists. Their mission is to collect and document the fascinating plants and animals that survive in this extreme wilderness. In a dangerous turn of events, their own survival hangs in the balance.

“Off to War” is a great documentary following a National Guard Unit
through their tour in Iraq.

What sets “Off to War” different from other war documentaries is
the self told thoughts and stories of these men. Instead of the
narrator explaining to the viewer what’s happening, they allow the
soldiers to do it themselves. Which allows for a first person
account of what’s happening to these men. The movie also covers the home front and
how the wives, children, parents, and siblings have to deal with their
loved ones being over seas.  It’s the closest you’re going to
get to experiencing a tour of duty in Iraq without actually serving.

Movie Review: The Sea Inside

Relationship drama about the life of Ramon Sampedro is pure magic to behold
By LIZ BRAUN – Toronto Sun

PLOT: After the diving accident that
leaves him a quadriplegic, a Galician man fights for the right to die a
dignified death. Regardless of the subject matter, this is a film about
the wonder of being alive.

The Sea Inside is a magical film about many forms of love and
about the energy of life. The movie is based on events in the life of
Ramon Sampedro, a Galician ship mechanic who was paralyzed and
bed-ridden for 30 years. Sampedro is always hopeful — hopeful that
he’ll die soon. He petitions the government to allow him to die with
dignity.
