Orcas are the rulers of the seas and are admired by many. But since they started attacking boats off Gibraltar, many people are asking themselves: Are they threatening us or are they just trying to play? The voice of singer and orca enthusiast Sarah Connor gives the documentary a special depth. The 2-part documentary shows the different hunting strategies and the social intelligence of the animals. But the emotional side of the whales also comes into play: how they mourn and how they have fun.

A documentary about wild dogs. Features the Arctic fox, the desert jackal, the raccoon dog and the red fox. Produced, directed, and edited by Phil Coles.

We take our features, our noses, eyes, and ears for granted, but they are pretty weird things until you look at the nose of a tapir or desman, the eyes of a cuttlefish or chameleon, or the ears of a seal or elephant. There is an almost endless variety of designs, and some are downright odd!

Modern classical music that speaks direct to the heart: that is the aim of Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks. Across the world, orchestras and choirs, soloists, conductors, and an ever growing public have discovered the emotional power of his compositions. The film follows the composer in Riga, at rehearsals, composing alone, in private and in the nature, he loves so much. A sensitive portrait of an artist, and a very special person with a special view on our world. Vasks: "I am a sad optimist".
