Salt of the Earth explores one facet of Trinidad's culture through this ancient music tradition called Parang and the ones who make it survive, the parrenderos and Holly Betaudier, a fantastic television producer and presenter. The music sets the pace for the discovery of the island's beauty, its history, its landscapes and its people. This is a journey into Trinidad's past to better understand how an English speaking country has managed to keep and continue a Spanish tradition imported hundreds of years ago.

A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle. Eileen’s incredible journey starts with her smalltown beginnings, sees her smash through many glass ceilings, and culminates in four dramatic space shuttle missions, the last being possibly the most dangerous and most important of them all. At its heart the film is the moving human drama of one family, where a mother’s extraordinary career takes us straight to the big philosophical question of what is the level of acceptable risk in human endeavour? This film celebrates Commander Collins’ trailblazing NASA career which opened the way for women to become spacecraft pilots and commanders, and proved a perfect riposte to a previous generation of male astronauts who thought there was no place for women to lead the way in space.
