National Geographic - The Lost Film of Dian Fossey [docupedia]

Dian Fossey has become a modern legend. Passionate, fearless, and committed, Dian devoted eighteen years to study gorillas in the mountainous rainforest of Volcanoes National Park.

Less well-known, however, is Bob Campbell-wildlife photographer and filmmaker whose footage propelled Dian and the mountain gorillas into the international spotlight. Campbell was hired by National Geographic to film Fossey's work, and from 1968 to 1972 he shot 70,000 feet of film. Unfortunately, most of it has never been seen. Now, National Geographic is unveiling this extraordinary glimpse into the world of the mountain gorillas and Dian's unique rapport with them in Mountain Gorillas: The Lost Film of Dian Fossey.

National Geographic - Mysteries of Survival [docupedia]

A cross-country skier stranded in the mountains, a miner lost in the scorching Sonoran Desert, a hiker in trouble in the Adirondacks wage desperate struggles to survive. Who will make it -- and why?
It is a mystery that scientists are determined to solve. Why do some people survive exposure, predators, starvation and trauma, while others succumb? We explore the incredible and dramatic real life mysteries of three people struggling to survive against all odds.

Pablo Valencia is left stranded in the searing heat of the desert for days without water; hiker David Boomhower is lost and alone for more than two weeks and Charles Horton shatters his leg while skiing in a remote part of Colorado and battles freezing temperatures, sleep deprivation and starvation for days on end. Ultimately, only two of these men survive. We follow their individual stories throughout their respective ordeals, seeing how different responses to the situations either help survival or spell potential disaster. And, we'll reconstruct some of the key scenes in which they made these fateful choices.

Luck plays a major part in determining who will survive a sinking ship or a killer hurricane. But scientists have long suspected that some people are better at controlling the body's reaction to trauma…and that survival of the fittest cam sometimes mean the fittest mind.

Using CGI, we look at the human body and its defenses in great detail, including its reactions to heat, cold, starvation, and dehydration. We also review the science of our skin. Plus, what causes our minds to have strange thoughts or bouts of negative and positive feelings in such extreme conditions. Mysteries of survival follows these three men as they battle with pain, madness and hallucinations to prove that psychological strength and will to live can be as vital as physiological strength and stamina when the human body is put to the ultimate test.

The new black panthers

Similar to hate factions like the KKK and neo-Nazis, the New Black Panther Party is a militant hate group, headquartered in Washington, D.C. that seeks to redefine the black struggle for equality and demand liberation from what it sees as white supremecy.

The New Black Panther Party for Self Defense (NBPP) is a militant hate group. Learn more about this new era for the black struggle and the original Black Panther Party.

• The roots of the NBPP can be traced to Michael McGee, a former member of the original Panthers, who was elected to the Milwaukee City Council in Wisconsin in 1984.


• In 2002, original members of the Panthers sued the NBPP and founder Aaron Michaels for using their name and emblem.


• The NBPP has made appearances and organized rallies at the scene of many recent racial incidents, such as the Sean Bell shooting in New York, the Megan Williams rape case, and spearheaded aid to Hurricane Katrina victims.


• Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale founded the original Black Panther Party in Oakland, California on October 15, 1966.


• The original Black Panther Party for Self Defense was created to promote civil rights, self-defense, and racial justice.


• In October 1967, Oakland police officer John Frey was shot to death in an altercation with Huey P. Newton during a traffic stop. Newton served three years in prison for the crime, a conviction that was reversed in appeal.


• In 1968, membership in the Black Panther Party reached 5,000, their newspaper had a circulation of 250,000, and they had chapters established in many cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, Denver, and New York.


• From fall 1967 through the end of 1969, nine police officers were killed and 56 were wounded in confrontations with the Panthers. In 1969 alone, 348 Panthers were arrested for a variety of crimes.


• In September 1968, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover described the Black Panthers as, "The greatest threat to the internal security of the country."


• At the 1968 Summer Olympics, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, two American medalists gave the Black Power salute during the playing of the national anthem.


• The main initiatives of the Black Panther Party were free services and survival programs such as clothing distribution, free medical clinics, first aid, and a breakfast program.

In this documentary, the filmmakers at National Geographic offer detailed insight into the forty-two assassination plots that may have altered the course of history had they actually succeeded. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
