The Battle for Christianity
Professor Robert Beckford looks at how immigration, radical social action, conservative morality and charismatic worship are all transforming the face of the faith, and asks what that might mean for the future in an increasingly secular society. Some academics are warning that popular churches who take a firm line on issues like gay marriage, abortion and euthanasia are pushing Christianity farther away from the attitudes of mainstream society. Others believe that the fervour of charismatic faith is attracting large numbers, but ignoring a quiet exodus out of the back door. Robert Beckford speaks to church leaders in the UK, including the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, about how they see the future. This revealing film gets to the heart of what’s changing within Christianity in the UK. It will show how the faithful are kicking back against the steady decline in church attendance, and provide evidence of a more committed, but potentially divided, future.

⭐ 8.5Six Hours: Surviving Typhoon Yolanda
In the middle of a broadcast about Typhoon Yolanda's initial impact, reporter Jiggy Manicad was faced with the reality that he no longer had communication with his station. They were, for all intents and purposes, stranded in Tacloban. With little option, and his crew started the six hour walk to Alto, where the closest broadcast antenna was to be found. Letting the world know what was happening to was a priority, but they were driven by the need to let their families and friends know they were all still alive. Along the way, they encountered residents and victims of the massive typhoon, and with each step it became increasingly clear just how devastating this storm was. This was a storm that was going to change lives.

⭐ 8.0Le teckel
À poil long, dur ou ras, c’est le chien petit mais costaud par excellence. Intelligent et volontaire, le teckel a conquis le monde à grand renfort de regards de biche et de petites pattes trottinant sur le bitume. Réputé pour ses aptitudes à la chasse, cet ancien favori des familles royales européennes, qui existe en trois tailles et neuf races, remplit aujourd’hui de multiples fonctions. Strolchi, un teckel nain allemand, détecte ainsi avec un instinct sûr les infestations de vers à bois dans les monastères, églises ou bibliothèques. Interrogeant les fans de la "saucisse sur pattes" – dont ont fait partie Napoléon, Picasso et Brigitte Bardot – et suivant la croissance d’une portée de six chiots, ce documentaire amoureux et amusé décline les qualités de ce toutou iconique : flair, courage et loyauté.
