Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story

   2024    History
Christopher Reeve was a world movie star, but in 1995 he suffered a near-fatal horseback riding accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. He later became an activist for spinal cord injury treatment and the rights of people with disabilities.
This film offers a poignant exploration of Christopher Reeve's extraordinary life, weaving together intimate interviews with his children, Matthew, Alexandra, and Will. It chronicles his journey from a difficult childhood and a strained relationship with his father to his meteoric rise as Superman, a role that made him a global icon. The narrative transitions seamlessly between his career highs—starring in acclaimed films, enduring public missteps, and returning to the stage—and the personal challenges that shaped him, including his complex relationships, the birth of his children, and his eventual romance with Dana Morosini, the love of his life.
After the devastating horse-riding accident that left him paralyzed, Reeve's unwavering spirit redefined heroism. The film highlights his advocacy for spinal cord research, the creation of the Christopher Reeve Foundation, and the enduring impact he and Dana had on disability rights. Their story is one of resilience, love, and inspiration, with their children now carrying on their legacy. Through moments of triumph and heartbreak, this film celebrates a man who truly embodied the spirit of Superman, both on and off-screen.

Nature Weirdest

   2023    Nature
We love nature and all its glorious diversity. Some creatures we admire for their deadly beauty, others because they are cute, but for some it's hard to figure out exactly why we like them so much, perhaps it's a quirk. How do you decide nature's weirdest animal? Is it the sloth that hangs upside down and moves so slowly that moss grows in its fur? Is it a sea pen that sits rooted to the seabed in endless darkness and emitting its own glow? Could it be carnivorous snails that leave the ocean to digest dead creatures on the beach, finches that drink blood, or the tarantula that keeps a frog as it's pet. But with nature's endless variety, which is the weirdest? We can't decide. Can you?

Clarkson Farm 2: Surviving

   2023    Nature    HD
Another year in the life of Diddly Squat Farm, run by Jeremy Clarkson, Britain's best-known but least-qualified amateur farmer. Season 2 of Clarkson’s Farm promises to be even better than the first as Clarkson and his rag tag group combat the public, the council, and the government.
In the first episode, Clarkson attempts to diversify his farm's revenue sources (having made only £144 in the previous year) in an effort to increase his profits. He decides that his primary way of doing this will be a new herd of cows and promptly purchases several of the animals. However, the timing of when they will bring in money and the necessity of building an enclosure for them causes problems for Jeremy and Charlie. Meanwhile, inspired by the success of the farm shop, Clarkson has the idea to open a restaurant in the abandoned lambing barn to sell his beef and lamb, but he must deal with the cost of converting the barn and getting approval from the local council.

Schmoozing

   2023    Nature    HD
Clarkson is ready to submit his application for his farm restaurant; he must use gentle navigation and respect for bureaucracy in order to keep his interests afloat. This, of course, is not easy for Jeremy, so he must be careful. Faced with Council powers that be, Jeremy uses two of his greatest skills: diplomacy and respect for red tape.

Council-ing

   2023    Nature
The results of the TB test are in... but just as important is the fact that numerous calves are scheduled to be born in the next couple of weeks. The first few happen very quickly in the dead of night before Jeremy's woken up, but soon he and Kaleb are dealing with some very challenging situations. Jeremy also meets local farmers to discuss a farmers' co-operative to supply the restaurant - much-needed by some who are really struggling - because the clock is counting down to Decision Day, when the Council will hold a public meeting to decide the fate of Jeremy's restaurant.
After weeks of waiting, the day of judgement for Clarkson's restaurant is at last here. He and Charlie set off to put their case to the powers that be. Is it a Yes? Or is it a No?

Counselling

   2023    Nature
Everyone's still reeling from the council's decision and its implications: the money Jeremy's spent on cows for the restaurant, the locals who won't find work there now and the farmers' co-operative that's now defunct. Charlie sets out to find a legal team to help Jeremy appeal the decision, as Jeremy and Kaleb get to work on tagging the new calves and attempting to navigate a government helpline where you're supposed to register them.
There are other useful distractions from the council in the shape of Diddly Squat's Hedge Laying Competition and a mouse that brings the whole farm to a standstill. The legal team that Charlie has assembled pay a visit. They outline their strategy for the appeal, but also the costs that come with it.
