- Fear of Dancing follows director Michael Allcock's global quest to understand why he and so many others on this planet are terrified of dancing - what science calls chorophobia.
- Dolly Jacob grabs hold of two long straps dangling down from the shadows of the big top. She hoists herself up...and begins to fly. From 50 feet below, what the audience can't see are the lines on Dolly's smiling face. Few of us have ever given a second thought as to what happens to these artists 'off the wire' after they've spent their lives entertaining and inspiring us. This film takes a unique look at a tightly drawn community in Sarasota, Florida, one with a deep value system that seems almost out of place today. With humour and warmth, these bigger-than-life characters are determined to support each other through thick and thin, at a time when they need it most: the end of their careers as Circus performers. When the march of time forces them to step out of the ring, After Circus depicts how performers survive without their lifeblood of the glittering spotlight and fervent applause.
- Those who survived Japanese Prisoner of War camps during World War II and their relatives recount the way in which they were affected in many different ways by their experience, particularly by their ever-present agony of hunger.
- Every time the phone rings Maria is reminded that what really matters is how we choose to live in the time that is left to us.
- -Three children live and work in farming communities in Central America. Duli harvests macadamia nuts in the mountains of Guatemala, Jenier harvests coffee in Nicaragua, and Paul harvests cocoa in Costa Rica. They all share one thing in common: they are affiliated with a cooperative of which their families are members and which works to improve their lot. These children, while telling us their stories and sharing their daily lives, share their concerns and allow us to put a face on these people who harvest to feed us.
