VOLCANIC PLANET
Volcanoes are the most extreme, dramatic, and explosive forces of nature on our planet. Volcanoes have produced many of the most valuable minerals - and most of the arable soil on earth. Every day, they are exploding around the world. When the Yellowstone Super Volcano blows (and it is now 48,000 years overdue to do so), it will destroy most of life on North America. Award-winning filmmaker Peter Rowe has climbed and filmed 19 volcanoes, and tells the story of them, the adventures of climbing them, the people who live beside them, and the scientists who risk their lives to study them, in "Volcanic Planet". He also convinces his climbing partner George Kourounis to get married (!?) on the exploding lip of one of them. Filmed in Congo, Iceland, Italy, Vanuatu, Hawaii, Tonga, Turkey, Guatemala, New Zealand, Costa Rica and under the Pacific Ocean, "Volcanic Planet" is a fast-paced high-voltage tour of the world’s most active smoking mountains.

A NEW PATH FOR CAPITALISM. The question arises as the recent crisis has accelerated a rupture in our society and prompted the need for change. Incidentally, it has raised awareness, especially among the younger generations, who have come to question the meaning of their actions and lives. This search for a new path has encouraged the development of Social Business. In this film, we attempt to define Social Business, look at its origins and catalysts, and grasp its challenges, such as measuring the impact, financing, and balancing between the social and business aspects. As an illustration, we have chosen Cambolac, a social business at a pivotal period of its development. It is a handicraft company located near the Angkor temples in Cambodia, founded in 2011 by a French ex-trader and asset manager in Paris, following a genuine personal revolution, who realized that Angkor remained one of the poorest regions in Cambodia despite the 3 millions yearly visitors. As for the analytical side, we have interviewed numerous professionals in Europe, the US and Cambodia, from the worlds of NGOs, Business, Consulting, Finance and Education. This movie raises more questions than it gives answers. Our goal is for it to be inspiring, thought-provoking and overall raises consciousness on today's current issues so as to build a more sustainable tomorrow.
