CONGO: Protecting The Home of The Gorillas

Deep in the northern region of the Republic of the Congo lies a vast tropical rainforest that holds a surprising secret about modern wildlife conservation.

This is the story of a unique pact between humans and nature. At the same time, the film addresses the harsh realities facing the Congo Basin. Armed rangers wage a constant battle against the illegal bushmeat market and high-value elephant poaching networks, while local villages face devastating crop raids by forest elephants.

Wild Horses of the Australian Alps: A Remarkable Tale of Survival

Learn about the fascinating wild horses of Australia’s Snowy Alps. These hardy creatures, introduced in 1788, have adapted to one of the harshest environments on Earth. Over time, they have evolved into a resilient population that roams the rugged mountains, facing formidable predators like dingoes and venomous snakes, and surviving extreme seasonal changes. The horses’ presence in the Alps, however, comes with controversy. While they are seen as symbols of freedom and endurance, their grazing habits are damaging the delicate alpine ecosystem. Rare species, such as the cobber frog and mountain pygmy possum, are at risk from habitat destruction caused by the horses' hooves. To control the population, the annual "Brumby Run" sees these wild horses captured and often culled, though some are trained and re-homed. This documentary offers a unique insight into the struggles of both the horses and the environment they inhabit.
