In "The Dalai Lama -- Scientist", the Dalai Lama tells the unknown story, in his own words, of his lifelong journey into the world of science and technology, and how the world has changed as a result. With extensive, rare, and never before seen footage, this film tells the very human story of the Dalai Lama that no one knows.

This is the story of a tiny country that made a decision to do something that no other country had ever done -- it decided to abolish its army and declare peace to the world. And this is the story of a young boy who grew up in that country, and how he ended up challenging -- and sometimes even convincing -- the greatest powers in the world to follow Costa Rica's example. "Oscar Arias: Without a Shot Fired" is a Don Quixote-like saga with great historical touchstones -- Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, Cold War politics and Communism, Central American War and Peace. It follows a slight, academic, and most unlikely hero over the course of more than fifty years, as he travels the world in a quest to stop the spread of the weapons of war. In the end, it is a story about the triumph of reason, of the sparrow triumphing over the eagle, and how the impossible dream can sometimes come true.

Сын британского дипломата, Джо Страммер (настоящее имя — Джон Грэм Мэллор) родился в турецком городе Анкара 21 августа 1952 года. Осев в Лондоне, он поменял несколько школ, позже недолго учился в арт-колледже. Основным увлечением юного Джона была музыка — рок и регги, какое-то время он был уличным музыкантом (именно тогда он взял псевдоним Джо Страммер), а в 1974 году стал лидером группы «101»ers», исполнявшей паб-рок. Группа просуществовала около двух лет и успела выпустить всего один сингл. В 1976 году произошло событие, которое кардинально изменило его жизнь, а именно — концерт «Sex Pistols» в одном из лондонских клубов. Увиденное настолько потрясло Страммера, что он тут же принял решение расстаться с «101»ers»…
