The Fight Exchange
13 x 30'
THE FIGHT EXCHANGE takes school exchange programs to a whole new hard-hitting level! As part of our cross continent curriculum, we're swapping students between fight schools in Canada and Brazil to compare and contrast the culture, customs, and mixed martial arts communities of these two great nations! Follow along with our varied collection of talented young fighters from worlds apart as they live and train in a foreign country and attempt to immerse themselves in the culture and traditions of their host nation. Watch as our transplanted group of up and coming fighters grapple with culture shock and struggle with language barriers, all the while preparing to compete in a major mixed martial arts fight, against a formidable opponent, so far away home on foreign soil!
Canada and Brazil are worlds apart, however there is one striking similarity between these two great nations: a love, passion and appreciation for the hard-hitting sport of Mixed Martial Arts. As the sport of MMA continues to break down barriers as it transitions from infancy to adolescence, the once dominant Brazilians now face stiff competition from all parts of the globe, including Canada. Although both of these nations produce great fighters - the path to greatness is often traveled by very different means. Unfortunately though, for the most part, fans only get to see the culmination of the athlete's hard work. What we don't see are the months of diverse and gruelling training, including grappling workouts, sparring sessions, and intense weight-cuts.

The Gangster Next Door (CBC)
52' HD
Considered one of the most desirable places on earth to live, Vancouver has a dark shadow. Part police action film, part in-depth analysis, The Gangster Next Door tells the story behind the headlines of Vancouver’s bloodiest gang war. The city is perfectly positioned as headquarters for the illegal drug industry - and where there are drugs, there are gangs. Shockingly, today’s gangsters are very likely to be middle-class -- young men drawn to the dark side with a world of resources at their fingertips. The gangsters are not easy to categorize, nor are their victims. This is now everybody’s gang war. And the new generation of gangster could be anybody’s next-door neighbour!

Was Jesus Christ an actual person of history – or a creation born from myth and metaphor, conceived in the 3rd century by Constantine to hold together a crumbling Empire? There is a significant body of evidence today that suggests the historical Jesus may have existed long before his reported birth - in many cultures' legends and myths. We will explore these ancient stories and investigate whether they were at the root of modern Christianity. Is this the greatest hoax of all time?
Unmasking the Pagan Christ (Vision TV)
52' HD
Based on the book Unmasking the Pagan Christ, we meet credible and outspoken scholars who highlight biblical and historical evidence supporting the existence of Jesus and refute the claims of today's dissenting religious scholars, who question the historicity of Jesus. Unmasking the Pagan Christ returns to the subject matter explored in the controversial documentary The Pagan Christ, in this case presenting a case against the idea of a Pagan Christ and in the process, making a strong case supporting the historicity of Jesus Christ.
