Remembering Papua New Guinea
1 x 60’, 2019, HD
This documentary celebrates the rich, cultural and environmental tapestry which makes up Papua New Guinea. Indeed, according to Sacred Ecology in the Pacific Islands, the ‘ethnosphere’ and the biosphere are a single integrated whole. The conservation value of the country’s natural and cultural assets is ultimately juxtaposed with the fast-changing reality exacerbated by illicit deforestation and dodgy developments.

In the depths of South America, where the Andes, the Amazon and the Equator collide, a wilderness exists that was home to some of the last remaining uncontacted people on Earth. The forest in which they live may claim our planet’s highest biodiversity. A place where mammals, birds, plants and amphibians reach peak diversity, together. Because of its biological diversity and cultural significance, the forest was designated a UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve and Ecuador’s largest national park. It is now known as Yasuni the Man and Biosphere Reserve. In 2017, Yasuni and the Waorani hung on the edge of collapse. ‘Yasuni Man’, a documentary feature, tells the story of the conflict in Yasuni that has pitted biodiversity and human rights against extractive industries and human consumption.
Go behind the scenes at St Paul’s Cathedral for their most magical time of year – Christmas. What’s it like for the people who make the magic happen and how do they cater for the 45,000 visitors that come through the cathedral’s doors during the festive season? St Paul’s Cathedral is known as the Nation’s Church and has become an iconic symbol of London. Every Christmas, the cathedral puts on a magnificent array of special services and concerts from the Advent Procession to carol concerts, Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day itself. We’re there to watch as the spectacular events of the festive season unfold and we go behind the scenes as the Christmas trees are winched into place and the golden copes are repaired.
