Marina Abramovic the Artist is Present follows the artist as she prepares for what may be the most important moment of her life: a major new retrospective of her work, taking place at The Museum of Modern Art.

• Marley (Blu-ray + Soundtrack CD + Bonus Material) | Blu Ray | (20/08/2012) from £202.48   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Marley is the definitive film about one of the most loved international icons of the 20th Century, Bob Marley. His music and message of love and redemption are known throughout the world and his story has finally been brought to life in this definitive work. Acclaimed director Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland, State of Play, Life in a Day) joined forces with the Marley family to direct the ultimate authorised documentary film on the life, legacy and global impact of one of the most influential musicians in history. Marley marks the first time ever that Bob's family has authorised the use of their own private Bob Marley archives.Bob Marley's universal appeal, impact on music history and his role as a social and political prophet is both unique and unparalleled. His music and message transcend culture, language and creed and resonate around the world today as powerfully as when he was alive. Only a handful of musicians have ever achieved such an impact and Bob Marley, though his life was far too short, stands strongly among them.I think what's great about the film is though there have been a lot of things done on Bob, I think this one will give people a more emotional connection to Bob's life as a man - not just a reggae legend or a mythical figure, but his life as a man. - Ziggy Marley

Fahrenheit 9/11: Already the highest grossing documentary of all time in America (also breaking records in Europe and the UK) and winner of the prestigious Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2004 Fahrenheit 9/11 is the powerful new film from Oscar-winning director Michael Moore. Following the huge critical and commercial success of Bowling For Columbine Moore uses his characteristically deft humour and uniquely persistent style to launch an unflinching inquiry into the Bush administration's foreign policy. Fahrenheit 9/11 is by turns determinedly truthful scathingly funny intensely thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining. Combining rare footage expert testimony and his one-of-a-kind dogged hunt for answers to tough questions the film takes on the burning issues facing America today. Michael Moore turns a sceptical lens on President George W. Bush and his inner circle who ignored the Saudi connection to 9/11 and instead rushed headlong into war against Iraq...

• Mountain Gorillas | Blu Ray | (13/09/2010) from £12.98   |  Saving you £12.01 (92.53%)   |  RRP £24.99

  Using exclusive access and the latest technology this extraordinary documentary DVD seeks to understand more about the lives the history and the uncertain future of our endangered relative the gorilla. Only discovered a century ago mountain gorillas inhabit a fragile world. A small number of families cling to existence on the forested peaks of isolated volcanoes in three war-torn countries surrounded on all sides by a growing human population. Mountain gorillas live in highly social families held together by long-term bonds often resembling the way that we ourselves live. Mountain Gorillas closely follows one of the families and the team's exclusive access means that for the first time they can use night vision technology to film the gorillas' secret night-time routines. There are a great number of threats to the safety of this family. Poachers are rife and snares have been left throughout the forest - one gorilla in the family has a painfully swollen hand caused by a snare that remains tightly embedded around his wrist. However even the best intentions can cause the gorillas harm as well meaning tourists can transmit diseases that can prove fatal. This series meets the dedicated team of eight vets belonging to the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project who are working hard to protect the future of the mountain gorilla. For years they have provided emergency medical care that has saved many of the gorillas' lives. However they are not alone in helping the species - vets rangers researchers and conservationists all work together to raise awareness of the benefits of this unique species - but their dedicated work will only succeed with the support of all those who share the land with them. This is the most intimate portrait of gorilla life to date and reveals how if the mountain gorillas are to survive a close connection between them and the local people must remain.
