Episodes

Episode 1 • Mar 21, 2015
Dominican Republic, Haiti & Puerto Rico
Simon Reeve explores the Caribbean - Dominican Republic, Haiti and Porto Rico.
Episode 2 • Mar 28, 2015
Barbados, Venezuela & Colombia
On Barbados, Simon examines the contrast between the very rich's opulent beach houses and the relative poor local dwellings. On nearby, poorer, yet soil-rich St.Vincent, he visits the local farmers' cannabis plantation on the volcanic slopes and their prime minister, considering legalization of the 'soft' drug. In Venezuela, he finds a rich oil-country under terrible government can fall deeper into misery, over the Colombian border, a major smuggle route, that a former guerrilla battleground can rehabilitate.
Episode 3 • Apr 04, 2015
Nicaragua, Honduras & Jamaica
Simon enters continental Central America in Nicaragua, the poorest Americna country after Haiti, and finds that's largely the fault of the Sandinista government's misrule after the Contra civil war. Locals grimly disagree about the projected larger alternative to the Panama Canal, costing thrice the GNP, massive expropriation -disrupting natives- and wildlife destruction without guaranteed jobs for poorly schooled locals. in Honduras, a violent political history seems overtaken by drug-related gang wars, terrorizing the civilians and forcibly recruiting even pre-teens. Simon ends his journey on Jamaica, where re-migrants from the US play a major part in the ambitious government's efforts to turn the tide by cleaning up its own ranks, especially the corrupt police, and modernize the economy.

You Are What You Eat

You Are What You Eat

A montage of the weird, a freak-out film that appeared when the expression was in fashion and in flower, along with the flower people. The film was one of the first exponents of the mobile camera-rock track-optical effect school of filmmaking, and it is much a document as it is a documentary. A repellent and fascinating depiction of the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, along with Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco and the East Village in New York. Tiny Tim amounts to something resembling a recurring motif and narrator.

A Day in the Life of America

A Day in the Life of America

On July 4th, Jared Leto sent 92 crews to all 50 states to capture A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AMERICA. Shot in a single 24 hour period what he got back was inspiring, provocative, beautiful and surprising. We have created an apolitical film that takes a deep and unflinching look at this country in the midst of a very important time.
