'Tanna'- In one of the last remaining traditional tribes in the South Pacific, a young girl, Wawa, falls in love with her chief's grandson, Dain. But when an inter-tribal war escalates, Wawa is unknowingly betrothed to another man as part of a peace deal. Determined to remain true to their hearts, Wawa and Dain run away, but are pursued by enemy warriors desperate to enforce tribal law. With their lives on the line, the star-crossed lovers must choose between their hearts and the peaceful future of the tribe. Filmed on location in Vanuatu, breathtaking in scope and naturalism, based on a true story and performed by the people of Yakel, Tanna is an exotic 'Romeo and Juliet'.

'Cults' by Nigel Cawthorne. Cults are a source of endless fascination. Their sinister secrets, strange rituals and shadowy hierarchies make for some of the most disturbing and shocking revelations in history. Most chilling of all is the fact that many followers forfeit all their independence in order to carry out the bidding of a mysterious master maniulator- and continue to defend their leader to this day. From Charles Manson, who instructed his followers to murder seven people, to Amy Shinrikyo, the Japanese doomsday cult that carried out deadly terror attacks. These cults and their leaders transfix us with their extreme ability to commit savage acts of cruelty and depravity in the name of a self- appointed higher power.
