THE CALL OF AFRICA
13 x 60:00
Most television viewers around the world think of "war", "starvation" and "disease" when they think of Africa. This may be the case in many parts of this great continent, but there is another side to Africa, one that differs enormously from the stereotypical view. The Call of Africa shows us contemporary Africa and how many millions of Africans live and prosper and carry on happy and fruitful lives, from their art to love, and from their religions to power. This superb 13-part series shows viewers the fascinating stories that emerge from the contrast between tradition and modernity, between the rural and urban worlds, between the coastal and inland societies. Episodes highlight issues such as power struggles, death, weapon exchange, roles of women and the impact of westerners.

Viewers everywhere are invited to join in on the travel adventures of Matt and Brittney as “Kid Guides” takes young audiences from all over the world on a child-friendly tour of the United States and abroad.

MYSTIC BALL
1 x 90:00
“Mystic Ball” follows filmmaker Greg Hamilton deep into the culture of CHINLONE, the traditional sport of Myanmar (formerly Burma) in Southeast Asia. CHINLONE encompasses elements of sport, dance, and meditation. Primarily non-competitive but certainly as strenuous as any competitive ball sport, Chinlone does not focus on losing or winning, but on how beautifully one plays the game. It combines the explosiveness of martial arts with the elegance of ballet, featuring acrobatic foot skills that will dazzle any soccer player. “Mystic Ball” provides an eye-opening view inside the closed Burmese society that can no longer hide the wondrous nature of its people and its culture.
