Краткое содержание
Mbwana and his best friend Juma are two young men with big dreams. These dreams become reality when they photograph a gigantic fish leaping out of the sea and their small town blossoms into a tourist hot-spot as a result. But for Mbwana, the reality isn't what he dreamed – and when he meets the fish again, both of them forgotten, ruined and old, he decides only one of them can survive. Jonah is a big fish story about the old and the new, and the links and the distances between them. A visual feast, shot though with humour and warmth, it tells an old story in a completely new way.
1914 год, Восточная Африка. Пропахший джином капитан Чарли приплывает на своем пароходике в деревню, где находится христианская миссия преподобного Сэмюэла и его незамужней сестры Розы, которые среди диких африканских джунглей ведут себя так, будто по-прежнему находятся в старой доброй Англии. Но война докатывается и до Африки.
Ворвавшиеся в миссию немецкие солдаты убивают Сэмюэла, а Розе приходится бежать вместе с Чарли. Беспрерывно ссорясь друг с другом, чопорная миссионерка и бесшабашный капитан плывут по реке навстречу опасным и романтическим приключениям…
Созерцая великую Африканскую вершину, писатель Гарри Смит окружен своими воспоминаниями о прожитой жизни, ведь он понимает, что он ранен в ногу и его рана смертельна. Гангрена. Перед глазами героя проходят образы прошлых лет, возвращая его то к воспоминаниям о войне, то в знойную Испанию, где он встретил свою истинную любовь Синтию Грин. После ее трагической гибели он потерял интерес к жизни. В поисках сюжетов для своих книг, он путешествует по миру в сопровождении своей жены Элен. И вот он пришел к подножию Килиманджаро. Африканская саванна встретила его грандиозными ландшафтами с безмятежно пасущимися стадами животных. Но размышления героя, стоящего на пороге смерти, о вечном: — всегда ли он делал добро людям? Не был ли он с ними жесток? Был ли в его жизни смысл? Не зря ли он существовал на земле?

It would be hard to name anyone who has had more of an impact in the realm of animal research and wildlife conservation than Jane Goodall, whose 45 year study of wild chimpanzees in Africa is legendary. In Jane's Journey, we travel with her across several continents, from her childhood home in England, to the Gombe National Park in Tanzania where she began her groundbreaking research and where she still returns every year to enjoy the company of the chimpanzees that made her famous. Featuring a wide range of interviews and spectacular footage from her own private collection, Jane's Journey is an inspiring portrait of the private person behind the world-famous icon.
Главный герой фильма очень импульсивен. Это все от переизбытка жизненной энергии, − говорит он. Впрочем, его девушка так не считает, поэтому-то и разрывает с ним довольно продолжительные отношения. Чтобы отвлечься от дурных мыслей, он решает отправиться в путешествие. Определиться с пунктом назначения ему помогла телепередача, и теперь герой готовится к одиночному штурму Килиманджаро.
In 1960 Jane Goodall set out for Tanzania's remote Gombe Stream Game Reserve to study the behavior of man's closest living relative, the chimpanzee. With dedication and perseverance she earned the trust of a wild chimp community, and gradually they revealed their individual personalities and the rich tapestry of their daily life. This program looks at two landmark decades of Jane Goodall's work, including her dramatic discovery of chimpanzees making and using tools.
The Sultan of Zanzibar has a harbor infested with sharks, which makes it impossible for ships to trade with him. In an attempt to fix the problem, he brings twelve hippos into the harbor to keep the sharks away. His idea works well enough, but once the hippos are no longer a novelty and the people no longer feed them, they begin to starve. After the hungry hippos rampage through the city looking for food, Aban-Khan, the king's adviser, slaughters all the hippos except one, a little hippo named Hugo.
An American woman doctor comes to Tanzania to work at a hospital for the mentally disturbed, with her Tanzanian lover. There, she meets a sometimes catatonic patient, Samahe, who seems to be in communication with another reality. In their confrontation with their individual and collective pasts, Dr Asira and Samehe are bound by fears and half remembered images of unbearable pain. Only through the spirit of Maangamizi, can the women resume their lives with an understanding of the ancestors and their eternal presence in a world of cruelty, hatred and death. It is a story that seeks to reclaim the connection between Africa and her Diaspora, and one that dares to represent the histories of two continents as it peels away layers upon layers of pain to bring healing of the soul.
Mashoto’s life in the city is a hustle. It’s a fast life in the fast city of Dar es Salaam. There’s no time to stop and Mashoto likes it this way. There’s no time to think about the people he left behind in the village. Until silence cuts through the city racket with three words: mother has died. With those words Mashoto’s life changes forever. He returns home, to the place he abandoned, to bury his only ally. Yet his mother has left behind a gift. Her voice, her unseen presence, a gentle whisper urging him to open his eyes and strain his ears- to learn the lessons of nature, of the earth and the roots that draw their nourishment from it. Cast out by his father after losing the little money his mother had left, Mashoto must learn to survive from the land. He must learn to face old enemies and forge new alliances, to fight and to love. Most of all, Mashoto must discover what it is he is fighting for.
