person)
In January 2002, an Explorer team joined forces with photographer
Steve McCurry to accomplish a seemingly impossible task: find the
face that had come to symbolize refugees everywhere - the "Afghan
Girl", whose portrait had become famous for appearing on the cover
of National Geographic magazine in 1985.

Wild Africa: Mountains
(UK, 2001, 49’) Canadian Premiere

This journey through jaw-droppingly beautiful scenery reveals
