Elephant in the Living Room

Just watched this and was a real heart-breaking eye opener. The USA should be absolutely ashamed that the keeping of wild animals is not illegal in all states, utterly outrageous. Also made me wonder how many homes in SA have illegal pets???

Just an arb note, first movie I rented and downloaded from iTunes onto my ipad and it worked awesome.

Ps..think my link is not working, not sure what the hell I'm doing wrong. Sorry

Saw that, completely stupid to have an untame animal as a pet.

Here's a video from An Idiot Abroad (great series) of the hippo I was talking about incase you want to watch it.

Tell Me And I Will Forget

Shot on board with the paramedics of Pretoria and Johannesburg, "Tell Me And I Will Forget" illuminates the new social challenges in South Africa, 15 years after the end of its oppressive Apartheid era. Desperate human circumstance and a wave of violent crime have put immense pressure on the medical system, which is now as divided as the country's dual economy. With the on going US medical debate, the documentary provides a timely look into the much less glamorous side of the nation that hosted the 2010 World Cup Football Games.

Extremely interesting documentary, worth watching.

Curiosity from Discovery.

 

[Ripykin]

I have watched 1000s, all the NG all the Discovery channel all the bbc, big boats, big moves big brains seen them all - discovery stuff is more fun - not my fave, prefer British doccys and have hundreds somewhere . one of the better docs i watched is"The Falling Man". and i enjoyed my mum talks to aliens becuse i have seen what dhe has shows him near the end in the doccy...wooooo
Soooo many to name, it would take too much time to type all the doccys out. but ya give the falling man a look, theres another one about a US bridge that people like jumping off which is fkn intense, and whilst the doccys unravling you realise that what youve been watching ...well.
