A year after the death of the artist, Vincent van Gogh, Postman Roulin gets his slacker son, Armand, to hand deliver the artist’s final letter written to his now late brother, Theo, to some worthy recipient after multiple failed postal delivery attempts. Although disdainful of this seemingly pointless chore, Armand travels to Auvers-sur-Oise where a purported close companion to Vincent, Dr. Gachet, lives. Having to wait until the doctor returns from business, Armand meets many of the people of that village who not only knew Vincent, but were apparently also models and inspirations for his art. In doing so, Armond becomes increasingly fascinated in the psyche and fate of Van Gogh as numerous suspicious details fail to add up. However, as Armond digs further, he comes to realize that Vincent’s troubled life is as much a matter of interpretation as his paintings and there are no easy answers for a man whose work and tragedy would only be truly appreciated in the future.

“We live in an age of technology and science that demands PROOF, and yet we desire mystery” – Mother Angelica

This show centres around dramatic clips offered as evidence of the supernatural, and then presents the opinions of prominent skeptics and believers, such as Skeeter McGee, Michael Shermer, Shauna Grace, Robert Scheaffer and many more, in a debate style argument-counter-argument format.

The range of subjects covered include: ESP, Miracles, The Dark Web, the mysterious Denver Airport Conspiracy, Shadow People, Cryptids, Secret Societies, Mind Control, the ghostly whispers in the static of Electronic Voice Phenomenon, the scary reality of Demonic Attacks, do governments conduct Weather Control, and whether Alien Abductions happen.

In our lead-up to the skeptic-believer debate, an English voice-over artist guides us on a journey speculating about the content of some of the rarest and most compelling, often shocking, clips, often coupled with eyewitness testimony.

Ultimately, the viewer is prompted to decide if what they’ve seen is Proof of the paranormal, or whether they still need more evidence.

Click for synopsis

You have seen them in the ring as some of the world’s best meanest fight champions, but who are these men in real life, and what brought them to fight on the world MMA and Kickboxing stages? This new and exciting, beautifully-shot and well-constructed sports documentary series features the newest and most legendary stars in the fighting world as you have never seen them before.

Each of the first 12 episodes focus on one champion fighter. We get to know them and the incredible locations they call home, across Europe, and the USA. Each episode lifts the lid on these highly-motivated warriors, and reflects their surprising past, and captures their tenderness and humanity, through a slice-of-life window into their relationships, family and friends. We meet the coaches, who sculpt these fighting machines, and explore the fighters’ beliefs and values, as well as the secrets to their success, providing the viewer with a glimpse into their sometimes very emotional backgrounds.

Part travel, part personal journey, and part glory – chronicling the best and worst moments of their careers, this rare and intimate series packs more than punches, opening it up to a much broader than the usual “fight fan” audience.

The final episode is then totally unique, in that it looks at the fights between each of these world champions, pits their egos and respects for one other against the backdrop of a blow-by-blow commentary to the fight footage.

These legends of the fighting world, are as much hero’s in their homes as they are in the ring!

The fighters who feature in series are as follows:
Shkodran Veseli – Kickboxing Welterweight FFC Champion
Dion Staring – MMA Heavyweight FFC Champion
Eyevan Danenberg – Kickboxing Welterweight FFC Champion
Pavel Zhuravlov – Kickboxing Light Heavyweight FFC Champion
Samo Petje – Kickboxing Lightweight FFC Champion
