  • Presented by Silvio Rivier. Whaling In Iceland - Whaling in Iceland has always been part of the economy. The country is unsuitable for cattle farming and whale meat has been seen as a means of survival. Yet with the global awareness of endangered species and the creation of Greenpeace and the International Whaling Commission (IWC), hunting whales has been banned in Iceland since 1989. The practise was resumed in 2006, after Iceland succeeded in being re-admitted to the IWC. (From France, in French, English and Icelandic, with English subtitles and narration) G CC WS

  • Squatting On The Pacific Rim - On the Pacific Rim, on the West Coast of Canada, a few squatters, mainly hippie hardliners from the 1960s, live in cabins on the sea shore. Henry Nola has, for the last two decades, used Indian art as inspiration, sculpting totems he sells to tourists. A survivor from the sixties, Henry has stayed true to the hippies' golden era that led him to the West Coast of Canada. To meet other hardliners like Henry, you have to search the tiny islands off the West Coast. Hiding in a background of green, with just a hint of hot pink, Catherine and Owen Adams' house looks like no other. Presented by Silvio Rivier.
