Coping with Babylon: The Proper Rastology

For the first time we get to see a high quality documentary take us inside a Rasta Camp and interview the founder Dermot Fagan who is a great character.
A good all round view of Rastafari in the 21st century.
This film shows us that not all Rasta's have the same beliefs and not all believe that Haile Selassie is God or that repatriation means moving to Africa but for many it's a place in ones mind. The film helps to dismiss many of the rumours about Rastafari and speaks to important members of different houses of Rastafari.

In the Shadow of the Moon

Between 1968 and 1972, nine American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon, and 12 men walked upon its surface. They remain the only human beings to have stood on another world. In the Shadow of the Moon brings together for the first, and very possibly the last, time surviving crew members from every single Apollo mission which flew to the Moon, and allows them to tell their story in their own words. The definitive story of going to the moon, told by those who went. Between 1969 and 1972 an elite group of men achieved an incredible dream. They were, and remain, the only human beings to set foot on a planet other than our own. These personal testimonies are interwoven with digitally remastered footage from Nasa film archives, much of it previously unseen and all of it hauntingly evocative of a bygone era. The result is an intimate and epic film which vividly communicates the daring and the danger, the pride and the passion, of this band of special young men.
