Titanoboa: Monster Snake tells the story of a group of intrepid scientists who unearth a priceless paleontological treasure trove deep in the Cerrejon Mine, Colombia. Together with their research teams, Jon Bloch and Carlos Jaramillo found a host of giant fossilized leaves and super-sized amphibians that shed light on a prehistoric black hole, just after the death of the dinosaurs. These fossilized remains reveal that the earth endured a period of ferocious global warming leading to a whole new ecosystem – the birth of the rain forest – in which huge creatures battled it out to become the planet’s top predators. Dominating this battle was the Titanoboa, the undisputed biggest snake of all time. Titanoboa’s world is fully realized in stunning photo-real CGI.

This film follows the extraordinary experiences of a group of stranded US airmen, the local tribe of Dayaks, and Major Tom Harrisson, one of the most eccentric officers in the British Army, who encouraged the ancient custom of headhunting against the Japanese.

London and the City of London are not the same place. London is a metropolis of 8 million people. The City of London is the famous square mile in the middle, with about 7,000 residents but many more businesses. A Corporation older than Parliament, the City of London has played a key historical role in protecting and promoting the interests of finance capital. Secret City investigates the power wielded by the Corporation of London over British economic policy, through which it sustains London’s prime position at the hub of global finance capital – not least through control of the majority of the world’s tax havens. The film exposes the Corporation’s anti-democratic constitution, the ancient laws which allow it function as a state within a state, and thus to promote an illusory promise of economic growth at the cost of the real economy. Secret City questions the Corporation’s role through contributions from Londoners, including scholars, an MP, a businessman, Church people and activists.
