These filmmakers spent time with their subjects; they studied their spaces, their lives and thoughts to give you insight into our city and our world. Series one features environmentally sound passive houses, how parasites can be good for you, a unique way to deliver medicine in Zambia, war’s impact on military dogs, and a view of D Day from a filmmaker born in Normandy.
