Place Of Thorns || The Story of Puerto Escondido

Place of Thorns tells the story of one of the world’s most incredible waves, Puerto Escondido, from its discovery by early surfers when it was just a small coffee port in Mexico, to the bustling tourist Mecca it has become today. After five decades, Puerto continues to draw surfers from across the globe to the town’s main beach, Playa Zicatela, as they pit themselves against some of the biggest, most deadly beach break waves on the planet.

Join us as we explore the dynamics of this unique wave while celebrating some of the best swells and rides ever documented on its shores. Along the way we discover why the Mexican Pipeline is amongst the most challenging surf spots in the world, and what it takes to ride it. But it’s not only the town that has changed. The iconic wave is under dire threat, galvanizing the local community as they take a united stand to save the wave and their home.

Deep Into Europe's Most Notorious Favela!!

Today, we're going to visit Europe’s most notorious favela… and it’s right n Portugal’s capital—Lisbon. The place is called Cova da Moura. Back in the 70s, after Portugal’s dictatorship collapsed, thousands of people from former colonies like Cape Verde, Angola, and Guinea-Bissau came here looking for a better life. Since the system gave them nothing .. they all moved to a place in the hills of lisbon where there was no strees no adreass no sewer system. So they built everything themselves brick by brick and to this day government has never recognized their community they've created.

The media calls it a ‘no-go zone’—for both tourists and even some locals.So today, we're going in to check it out. What’s real, what’s fake… and what’s life actually like inside Lisbon’s most feared neighborhood.

The Man Who Carried Italy, And Was Left Alone At The End

In 1994, Roberto Baggio carried Italy to the World Cup final — with bruised ribs, relentless pressure, and moments of genius that lit up the world.

But then, in the cruelest twist of fate, he missed. A single penalty kick sailed over the crossbar… and with it, a nation’s hope.

But this is not just a story about failure. This is a story about burden. About silence. About how a man stood tall while the world turned away.

This is the story of Roberto Baggio — the man who died standing.

Jackson Pollock || the Myth of the Modern Artist

In 1949, Life magazine asked: “Is Jackson Pollock, the greatest American Painter." He is a figure that is polarising among art aficionados. Some see him as a fraud, others as a genius. In this short film I look at why he is so loved and hated at the same time, I look at just what Abstract Expressionism means, and I look at the myths surrounding Pollock and modern art itself. I look at his influences and I also look at a lesser known story, of how art became an unlikely player in the Cold War and the global contest of ideas. How Abstract Expressionism was enlisted as an unknowing agent in a shadowy propaganda war, bankrolled by the CIA, to sell the story of freedom… and capitalism.

Cycling Documentary || "The Lost Merckx" The Ultimate Cycling Barnfind.

The Lost Merckx tells the story of how an important personal bicycle from the world's greatest ever cyclist, Eddy Merckx, ended up living in the attic of an old bicycle shop just outside Manchester, in the North West of England.

The film was inspired by Gerry Shields, the hero of our story and his incredibly rare bicycle. Gerry opened his cycle shop in 1947, staying in business for an amazing 75 years. Just before the business finally closed its doors for the last time, The Velo Pages interviewed the then 97 year old Gerry at the shop. The fascinating story told here is just one small part of the final 4 hour interview we captured as Gerry reflected on his long life with both humour and candour. I hope you enjoy it.

When night falls in Rio de Janeiro || A journey through a fascinating metropolis

Rio de Janeiro: Sugar Loaf Mountain, the Christ the Redeemer statue, the Copacabana. When night falls, the most diverse worlds come together here. A journey through one of the most fascinating metropolises in the world -- from sunset to sunrise.

Shortly after sunset, work begins for the men and women who collect the garbage. On Copacabana Beach, a whole armada is out sifting through the sand and preparing the beach for the next day. Because the metropolis of millions is so busy all day, Luiz da Silva and his colleagues also empty the city‘s garbage cans in the middle of the night.

Meanwhile, crocodile researcher Ricardo Freitas sails his small boat in a lagoon, in the west of the city. The wild side of Rio comes to the fore at night: thousands of caimans populate the city's waters.

Jacky Rocha also works at night. She is a samba singer and tours Rio's nightlife, going from gig to gig. Her rehearsals for carnival are already in full swing. But she can always make time for a concert in the trendy harbor district. Samba, she says, is more than just carnival and good-mood music - it is a weapon in the fight against racism.

Rio de Janeiro is also a city of extreme inequality. While some people are still dancing and partying, others are starting their working day. Nanny Gilmara dos Santos lives in one of Rio's poor and dangerous suburbs. To get to work on time for a rich family in the wealthy south of the city, she has to leave her home at night.

Then there’s the world of Candomblé: The Afro-Brazilian religion was banned for a long time and had to be practiced in secret. Even today, its practitioners must still contend with prejudice. During the hour-long night-time rituals, the gods, or ‘orixás’, are summoned with drums, singing and dancing, to take possession of the believers.

All the different people the filmmakers meet are united by a tireless optimism in the face of seemingly insurmountable social and economic hurdles. Rio de Janeiro at night shows viewers a city of hard work and big dreams. It’s a place that rewards its inhabitants, the Cariocas, with its beauty every morning, at sunrise.
