Free The Bears

Cambodia wildlife documentary

I explore the ongoing issue of bear captivity in South East Asia and a sanctuary wanting to make a change. We hear directly from the staff and volunteers who better the lives of the bears each day.

Manuka Honey

Manuka Honey is made in Australia and New Zealand bees that pollinate the native Manuka bush. Advocates say it can treat wound infections and other condition.

I was lucky enough to tour the testing facility and also be out in field with the beekeepers as they place the hives around the country to best position them to work the Manuka plant. It is never guaranteed that the bees will work the tea tree but by focusing on key conditions, and waiting for month in a barrel, the hope is the honey will contain that liquid gold that returns a high market value.

 

 

Koffee Run

A short documentary about coffee and lies

This humble barista serves up delicious coffee each day to students at the local university. A great set up in a VW Kombi van. He tells us he needs to go in to battle with the landlord to secure his place on the property and supply of electricity and water. But what is truth?
