*My Pen Pal: An African Adventure* is a children"s documentary about a 10-year-old California girl who travels to Tanzania to meet her pen pal. Photographed in HD with the stunning East African landscape as the backdrop, *My Pen Pal* is a heartwarming story of travel, adventure and cultural exchange told from the perspective of a young girl, Megan, who is the host and narrator of the film.

*In Visit Wales with Rachel Hicks*, former BBC presenter Rachel Hicks takes viewers on a journey around Wales visiting major tourist attractions as well as lesser known hidden gems — from Aberystwyth on the west coast to Anglesey in the north and Abergavenny in the east to Tenby in the south.

*Pure* is about 19 extraordinary climbers in six countries on three continents, with no ropes. Filmed in cutting edge 35mm HD, this is a powerful statement about place, travel, and a rare type of athleticism shared by very few.

Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn finds the incomparable Audrey Hepburn in her Emmy® Award winning and final performance before the camera. Hepburn brings nothing less than a transcendent dimension to this highly acclaimed, *en plein air* series.
