“What is your personal meaning of life?” Jon Cortelyou filmed a documentary about people answering this question.
Ever thought about this one, yourself? You should. I think it’s time we all did, at least once a day. Really interesting, uplifting, enjoyable, and at times beautiful film :)

“In this documentary shot in 1995, Rickson Gracie: Choke follows three fighters on their paths to the Vale Tudo Fighting Championship ’95. Although most of the film concentrates on then champion Rickson Gracie, the film also takes a look at American kick boxer Todd Hayes and Japanese amateur wrestler Koichiro Kimura.
A great deal of time is spent on Rickson Gracie’s philosophies dealing with jiu-jitsu and life, which would be highly recommended for Rickson Gracie fans.” – MMAFighting.com

Great French hip-hop soundtrack and some incredible physical feats. The limits of the human body have yet to be discovered.

The story of an amazing young man who, blind at 2 years old, later learned to see in a different way. Incredible story, inspiring and uplifting.

Extraordinary.

The Sultan’s Elephant, a giant piece of street theatre by French group Royal de Luxe, has been entertaining Londoners over the course of this weekend. The show started on Thursday, when a ‘crashed rocket’ was in place at Victoria Place. On Friday, an oversized marionette of a young girl emerged from the rocket and met with the giant mechanised elephant. Over the course of the weekend, these two giant puppets have been parading around London streets, closed especially for the event.”
