A journey through 50 countries: an ode to the beauty and subtle harmony of our planet. The series of captivating shots of different landscapes, almost entirely from above, presents current environmental issues (global warming, felling of rainforests, loss of biodiversity, depletion of natural resources, and migration of people). We start with the origin of the Earth and go from general statements to concrete examples with a list of alarming statistics. It also expresses optimism about the development of environmentalism, democracy and education.

They met on a Friday and got married secretly on Sunday. They fled their parents' wrath and spent their honeymoon among the cannibals in the South Seas, where they lost both their camera and their illusions. At the moment when many people would abandon filming, Martin and Osa Johnson risked their lives to bring the testimony of a diminishing wildlife. An authentic footprint of an era when filming in Africa was more dangerous than lions or malaria. Although they were celebrities admired by Chaplin and the British Royal Family, nowadays they are forgotten.

In July 2007, a three-member Trabant Silk Road expedition went to the deserts of Central Asia. The odometer on the small yellow Trabant turns fifteen thousand kilometers. Half of Europe and most of Central Asia have passed beneath its wheels. After six weeks spent in a confined space, the three travelers go together across Central Europe, the Balkans, Turkey, Iran, and Turkmenistan to make their way back to Samarkand in Uzbekistan and then home via Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine. 15,000 kilometers is a very long journey.

Over the past few years, three handbikers have traveled through Iceland, Israel and Palestine. This time, Jiří Čeloud, Martin Matěj, and Pavel Přichystal head out on an adventure under the cruel African sun. Living five weeks in the saddle of a hand-cranked bike, having only the bare essentials with you in a backpack, sleeping in a tent or in the open, cooking over a fire - that may sound romantic, but after a week in the snow of the High Atlas, the participants recall the journey as a struggle with winter, time and self.

Score:
Three Czechs in a rickshaw race through India& Adrenaline-inducing, crazy, breathtaking, deadly - thus can the race on ridiculous carts across the colorful and unpredictable India be described. In a country where everybody takes their lives on the road into their own hands and getting on the road requires a lot of courage, the "tuk-tuk" race is a truly insane idea. And when you put three men from the heart of a civilized Europe, who only know about India curry and the Kama Sutra, it's a series of unfortunate events.
