Once upon a time, there was a flea who lived buried deep in the feathers of a Laysan Albatross. Together, they travelled across the tormented oceans of the Pacific Ocean landing only on very rare occasions. Until one day... the albatross chooses to land on Midway an island 3000km off any land coast, to mate and start a family. Taking advantage of the physical closeness of this bird couple, the flea seizes the opportunity to explore the feathers of the female, from where she will witness the hatching of an egg. Then, the flea quickly prefers to jump onto the soft duvet of the young bird, not yet able to fly. In the nest, the young albatross discovers all the dangers which surround him, such as the penguins who come and steal food left by his parents. This provides an excellent opportunity for the flea, who decides to discover new feathers - the first of many to come. The flea will, from here on, share the same life style of the petrels, royal penguins, both adult and juvenile. In its little air bubble, the flea is protected from the pressure of the water whenever its hosts go for a dip in order to hunt for krill or anchovies. To keep a safe guard over its territory, the flea will confront tics and other lice who will have, like itself, colonised the fur of their hosts. This documentary, based on scientific research and fact, unites harmoniously the natural habits of these birds, who will be filmed by our team during 4 months in Hawaii, and digital images of the flea created through computer graphics.

00:00A typically good episode following an overloaded, top-heavy truck nicknamed the Warthog as it creeps agonisingly slowly along 650 kilometres of boggy mud tracks in the Congo. The journey was only supposed to take a few days but the roads turn out to be much worse even than they usually are - at times the Warthog passes whole convoys of other trucks hopelessly stuck in the mire. If anyone's more worried than the driver about the state of affairs, it's probably all the passengers who have paid to travel on top of all the cargo piled high in the back of the truck. There are some sights to see on the way, such as the abandoned mine in which locals work underground with crowbars, bare hands and no safety equipment to fill bags of ore that sell for a pittance to Chinese and Indian traders. - 7:01 A little prayer before facing the sturdy roads 16:15 Horrible Roads lead to Horrible Trips 29:07 Ores are abundance but the country stays poor 39:27 Strong medecine is the only escape Follow us on social media : Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/BestDocumentaryTV

In the south of China, in the Guizhou province, mountains cover 90% of the land. Within these mountains two of the regions most vital and abundant resources are found: bamboo and coal. Both are essential for industrial development, revenue, construction material and food. However, the only way to bring these materials to the masses is to transport them down the mountains' crumbling cliff sides.

If an angel were to appear on Earth, what form would it take? In South America, it might be that of a small boy living in the shantytown of Ciudad del Norte in Bucara-manga, Colombia. In 1988, at the age of 9, Alveiro Vargas organized squads of children to spend their free time helping shut-ins who had been abandoned by their families. The children brought them food, bathed them, cleaned their hovels, solicited donations from local businesses and arranged for rent to be forgiven. Fast forward 10 years. It is 1998, and Alveiro is a 20-year-old young man. He is now director of a clean, modern care facility for 140 poor elderly people who would otherwise be homeless. The facility is a monument to the potential we all possess when we follow our heart. - Follow us on social media : Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/BestDocumentaryTV
