A look at the life and legacy of critically acclaimed television writer-producer Sam Simon as he fought two battles – one against cancer and another for animal rights. Sam Simon, best known for co-creating The Simpsons, was diagnosed with terminal colorectal cancer in 2012 and passed away on March 8, 2015 at the age of 59. As he battled cancer, Simon chose to give away most of his fortune to save animals from harmful and abusive situations worldwide.

Pope Francis is shaking up the Catholic Church and putting the Vatican back on the world stage. The Argentine-born pontiff’s stances on issues like the LGBT community, women, and the environment are changing the public perception of the Church. Some see him as a Marxist pope, someone who has defiantly aligned himself with the poor. Others view him as a rock star pontiff who defies norms and appeals to a new generation of Catholics. But just how deep is he transforming the Church? Are his gestures more symbolic than real? As Pope Francis embarks on a visit to the United States, we look at his rise to the papacy in Fusion’s documentary Saint or Sinner: Pope Francis.
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.
