Who would have thought Venice has its own coral reefs? Venice today is still a habitat for a wide range of animals - like one of the world’s rare poisonous mammals: the Eurasian water shrew. Venice’s hidden gardens are hiding-places for a range of animals from bats to the Balkan whip snake.

Everyone knows angels! But what are they in fact? Why do they have wings? Have they always had them? Have they always existed or is there any point of start in existence? Where did they come from? What are their names and why those? What is their mission? Has it always been the same? This documentary tells the "Story of Angels", by following emerging images, statues and frescos through all of the ages that formed their appearance until today.

On the 24th August 79 AD, the eruption of Vesuvius eradicated the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. This extraordinary film uses visual effects and archaeological findings to chronicle the last 24 hours of Pompeii. Remains of 300 citizens trapped in beach-side crypts allow scientists to reconstruct local life in the First Century after Christ. Computer graphics recreate the scale of the eruption.

Iqbal is about an Asian boy who gets sold by his father to a small carpentry production company in which child labour is supported. His "master" is a cruel man, imposing a ridiculous behaviour catalogue with strict charges. The children, about 5-10 years of age, have to work all day and they´re not allowed to go to toilet while at work, let alone visit their parents. Iqbal soon realizes that this is a massive injustice, especially when a member of the (unindentified) country´s Communist and Anti-child labour party takes photographs of the children.
