The Last Manilaners

Margot, Max & Lotte were just children when they underwent persecution for being Jews. To escape certain death, the three took a chance to liberation through the open-doors policy of then Philippine US Commonwealth president, Manuel L. Quezon. The three called the Philippines their home, together with 1,300 refugees from Hitler’s war against the Jews. However, challenges still came their way when the Philippine government fell under the Japanese occupation. With disorder and unrest in the Philippines, they leave again in order to rebuild their lives. They live to tell their tale of gratitude to the Filipino people as the last surviving Manilaners.

Bears About The House

Conservationist Giles Clark embarks on his biggest mission to date - taking on the illegal wildlife trade and helping to build a new bear sanctuary in Laos, south-east Asia. Giles has been asked by good friend Matt Hunt, CEO of Free the Bears, to help for 12 months and is not long into his role when he has to step in to help Mary, a five-month-old sun bear. Mary was rescued after her mother was killed in the wild and was spotted on the back of a truck for sale into the illegal wildlife trade. Fragile and malnourished, she lives with Giles and Matt at home while she needs round-the-clock specialist care.
