John Nettles narrates the extraordinary story of Jambo the gorilla
at naturalist Gerald Durrell's famous Jersey Zoo. When a young boy
fell into the gorilla enclosure in 1986, onlookers were horrified
when the injured boy was approached by Jambo, a male silverback. To
everyone's amazement however, Jambo protected the boy from the
other gorillas until he could be rescued. This documentary tells
the full story of the Jersey Zoo's gorilla family and includes the
dramatic news footage that did more than anything to change
people's perceptions of the gorilla.

Documentary directed by the elusive street artist Banksy. Using
footage shot by eccentric French amateur film-maker Thierry Guetta,
the film follows the shop owner as he immerses himself in the
underground world of guerilla street art. He joins the scene
through his cousin, mosaic artist Invader, and documents camera-shy
artists including Shepard Fairey and Banksy at work. But as Thierry
films them for his art documentary, Banksy turns the camera back on
its holder and shows how Guetta created the pop-street art alter
ego known as 'Mr Brainwash' and became an overnight sensation in
the LA art world.
