Episode 1 • Dec 31, 2006
Kafue National Park
Found in the centre of western Zambia, Kafue National Park is the oldest and largest of Zambia's national parks. It covers a massive 22,400 km2. First established as a National Park in the 1950's by the legendary Norman Carr, Kafue is one of the largest national parks in the whole of Africa. Despite its size and prominent location only two hours drive from Livingstone, it remains little-known and largely unexplored with vast tracts of its virgin bush still untouched. Thanks to its size and variety of habitat types the Kafue holds a fantastic diversity of wildlife . In recent years the Park has seen a well-managed growth in the number of Safari Camps and Lodges that operate in and around the Park. This new interest has brought with it more visitors and investment to the area, notably in infrastructure with a number of well-graded roads and airstrips. As a consequence of the increasing interest and benefits in terms of investment this brings, the wildlife is beginning to enjoy an increased level of protection by the Zambian Wildlife Authority (ZAWA), always aided and supported by the operators in and adjoining the park.

Episode 3 • Dec 31, 2006
Bushcamps Emerald Season
Mfuwe Lodge is situated in the South Luangwa National Park, which is towards the north-eastern border of Zambia. This lodge, fully refurbished and upgraded in 2010, is tucked among huge ebony and fig trees on the banks of a tranquil oxbow lagoon. The open plan reception, lounge, dining and bar areas, are under a very high, open sided thatch roof, supported by palm poles, with fireplaces and impressive stone chimneys at opposite ends. This area has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and is furnished in a variety of African styles. There is a secluded library, with its own viewing deck and another huge deck around the swimming pool, which extends over the lagoon. The 18 large, thatched chalets are privately set apart from each other, along the water's edge, with private viewing decks. Beds are surrounded by a curtain of mosquito netting, soft lighting and light.airy furnishings. Louver doors lead to the en-suite bathrooms, with double vanities, showers and separate WC. As the meandering Luangwa River forms oxbow lagoons all along the Luangwa Valley, the concentrations of wildlife become more intense, allowing for excellent game viewing. You can explore this region on day and night game drives with highly qualified guides. Bird watching and walking safaris are also highlights of this area.
Episode 4 • Dec 31, 2006
Mfuwe: Wonky & Wellie
Each October and November local denizens like "Wonky Tusk," baby "Lord Wellington" and her family pay a visit to the Mfuwe Lodge in South Luangwa National Park, wandering right through the lobby in search of wild sweet mangos. Lord Wellington was born on the grounds just last October 2009. The gentle giants have caught the attention of Jonathon Scott, wildlife photographer and the BBC Big Cat Diary presenter, and world renowned wildlife filmmakers AQUAVISION TV PRODUCTIONS who Chronicles the story in their film "Elephants in the Room".
Episode 5 • Dec 31, 2006
South Luangwa National Park
Experts have dubbed South Luangwa to be one of the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in the world, and not without reason. The concentration of animals around the Luangwa River, and its oxbow lagoons, is among the most intense in Africa. The Luangwa River is the most intact major river system in Africa and is the life-blood of this 9059 km2 Park. The Park hosts a wide variety of wildlife, birds and vegetation. The now famous 'walking safari' originated in this Park and is still one of the finest ways to experience Africa's pristine wilderness first-hand. The changing seasons add to the Park's richness, ranging from; dry, bare bushveld in the winter, to a lush, green wonderland in the summer months. There are 60 different animal species and over 400 different bird species in South Luangwa National Park. The only notable exception is the rhino, sadly poached to extinction.
Episode 6 • Dec 31, 2006
Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls presents a spectacular sight of awe-inspiring beauty and grandeur on the Zambezi River, forming the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It was described by the Kololo tribe living in the area in the 1800's as 'Mosi-oa-Tunya' - 'The Smoke that Thunders'. In more modern terms Victoria Falls is known as the greatest curtain of falling water in the world. Columns of spray can be seen from miles away as, at the height of the rainy season, more than five hundred million cubic meters of water per minute plummet over the edge, over a width of nearly two kilometers, into a gorge over one hundred meters below.
Episode 7 • Dec 31, 2006
Mfuwe When the First Rains Come
When the first rains come the park takes on a fresh green appearance, the air becomes clear and the light is perfect for photography. This is a wonderful time to visit the South Luangwa and with Mfuwe Lodge open year round and four of our Bushcamps (Chindeni, Bilimungwe, Kapamba and Zungulila) open into the early rains; the only Bushcamps open in the park at that time of year the Emerald Season is the perfect time to see the Luangwa River in full flow and enjoy both game-drives and walking safaris at a lower rate. These are the summer months in Zambia where the rain falls and completely alters the landscape in a matter of days, turning what was barren dry land into lush, green expanses teeming with wildlife and birdlife; the impala drop their young, large carmine bee-eater and stork colonies form, migratory bird species arrive, and many birds are in full breeding plumage.
Episode 8 • Jan 18, 2007
Liuwa Plain National Park
This remote park in the far west is pristine wilderness, which, to the ardent bush-lover, is its biggest attraction, and the rewards are great indeed. The game is spread out across the plains and takes some driving around to find, but to come upon a vast herd of blue wildebeest, a prowling wild dog, or a pride of dozing lions in this forgotten piece of Africa is especially fitting because of its completely natural and uncommercialised state. The birdlife is abundant and the very dramatic storms and lightning rising up on the horizon, contrasting with the green and gold grasslands, create spectacular views and fantastic photographic opportunities.

Cries from Syria

Cries from Syria

CRIES FROM SYRIA is a searing, comprehensive account of a brutal five-year conflict from the inside out, drawing on hundreds of hours of war footage from Syrian activists and citizen journalists, as well as testimony from child protesters, leaders of the revolution, human rights defenders, ordinary citizens, and high-ranking army generals who defected from the government. Their collective stories are a cry for attention and help from a world that little understands their reality or agrees on what to do about it. A documentary by Evgeny Afineevsky, director of the Oscar-nominated film WINTER ON FIRE, CRIES FROM SYRIA premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
