Tutu: The Authorised Portrait is a celebration of eighty years of the life of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, an icon whose humanity and compassion have touched the lives of millions around the world.
Born in Klerksdorp, South Africa, and trained as a teacher because his family could not afford to send him to medical school, Desmond Tutu was ordained as an Anglican priest in 1960. He vigorously opposed apartheid and has dedicated his life to fighting all forms of oppression, advocating non-violence, peaceful reconciliation and social justice for all.
This extraordinary book features a biography by legendary South African journalist Allister Sparks, authorised by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and includes over forty interviews conducted by Tutu's daughter Reverend Mpho Tutu with close family, friends, colleagues, comrades and critics.
Complemented by an unprecedented collection of images and unpublished artefacts drawn from Tutu's private files, this is a phenomenal story of one man's life-long commitment to the liberation of the oppressed. Includes interviews with Kofi Annan, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and President Barack Obama.
Triple bill of romantic dramas based on the novels by Nicholas
Sparks. In 'Dear John' (2010), while Special Forces Army Sergeant
John Tyree (Channing Tatum) is home on leave, he meets beautiful
college student Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried) and the two fall
in love. When the time comes for Savannah to return to college, she
promises to write to John during his 12-month enlistment overseas.
However, their budding love affair is put to the test when John
decides to re-enlist in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. 'Safe Haven'
(2013), follows the fortunes of a guarded young woman who
unexpectedly finds love in a North Carolina town. Katie Feldman
(Julianne Hough) stands out on arrival in Southport. Beautiful but
highly reserved, she makes it clear that she expects to have little
involvement in the social life of the town and its inhabitants.
However, an unforeseen chain of events brings Katie close to Alex
(Josh Duhamel), a widower who runs a store while also attempting to
bring up his young children. As she inexorably falls in love with
Alex and the children Katie begins to let down her guard, but doing
so threatens to raise the dark secret she has been protecting. Will
she find a way to reconcile the trauma of her past with the
possibility of a brighter future? 'The Best of Me' (2014), charts
the relationship between Dawson Cole (Luke Bracey/James Marsden)
and Amanda Collier (Liana Liberato/Michelle Monaghan), two people
from opposite sides of town, who fall deeply in love as teenagers.
However, Amanda's parents don't approve of Dawson and their
relationship is short-lived due to a number of unfortunate events
outside of their control. 20 years later, the pair are reunited at
a mutual friend's funeral and it doesn't take long for their
romance to rekindle. But although it seems the universe is
conspiring to bring them back together after all this time, it
seems there are still other forces at work which are determined to
keep them apart...

job of producing the school's official memorial video. But as he
