Robin Williams "MAYDAY - Tugs of War"
The men who went to sea in rescue tugs to save the ships that were torpedoed by submarines during WWII. We hear the
stories from the men themselves. This film takes place in England, Holland and America. The audience will be seeing
where these men live today and what they did 62 years ago to save the battleships, cruisers, cargo ships and a host
of the other vessels and human lives. The story had never been told by the media and the information was never
shared with the public …until now. All the scenes were filmed on the actual locations and the invasions of
Normandy and Iwo Jima are graphically displayed by archive footage. The song, "Normandy - A Job to Do"
was written and performed by one of these heroes, Jim Radford of London. Jim is a noted songwriter and performer
today. MAYDAY was filmed in high definition video and the scenery is spectacular as well as brilliant in color. The
audience will be highly entertained and emotionally touched and charmed by this beautifully artistic and factual
film. This film has appeal to every age group in America. MAYDAY, a true story from beginning to end!

Buddy Hatton "Burma & Cambodia: Land of Conflict"
Myanmar (formerly Burma) remains one of the most mysterious and undiscovered destinations in the world. A land of
breathtaking beauty and charm and yet only recently emerging into the modern world. Burma has a rich and glorious
heritage spanning more than 2000 years. Spectacular monuments and ancient cities attest to a vibrant culture. With
traditions rooted deeply in the loving kindness philosophy of Buddhism, the creed the Myanmar live by is heart-felt
goodwill to friends and strangers alike. For many years, Myanmar disappeared behind a wall of self-isolation, and
only recently did they once again open her doors to the outside world revealing the country's culture and ecology
almost untouched and unspoiled. Welcome to Myanmar, the golden land of pagodas, with a wish for your good fortune.

Steve Gonser "St. Vincent & the Grenadines: Caribbean Jewels"
St. Vincent and the Grenadines emerged from the sea eons ago as the result of the collision of the Caribbean and
Atlantic plates. The resulting volcanism produced islands of unparalleled beauty. Since she emerged from the sea,
St. Vincent has been blessed with lush mountains, rich volcanic soil and unspoiled landscapes of brilliant flora
and beautiful, crystal clear waters. When you add the idyllic islands and deserted cays of the Grenadines,
the entire country emerges as a prime vacation playground. There's something here for everyone from sailing and
dolphin watching, to hiking nature trails and swimming at the base of waterfalls. You can climb to the top of a
slumbering volcano or explore the fascinating underwater gardens surrounding this pristine group of islands. If you
desire the comforts of a deluxe resort or quiet seclusion in a tropical setting, you'll find it here. Combine
these with a dynamic mix of cultures and you'll find that St. Vincent and the Grenadines have it all!
