It took 27 years, locations all over the world and the last half a decade in production but the Parks Bonifay Documentary is finally here. This tale of a man, his unconventional youth and unbelievable adulthood, flirting with disaster and challenging life, the triumphs of winning everything in sight, and tribulations of incomprehensible injury, the considerable fun and the unexpected pain and the pressure all add up to one thing: his movie. Come along as the life of an extraordinary athlete and his incredible family unfolds before you. Its a life worth seeing; from the time when we watched helplessly as the sports greatest all-time athlete almost drowned in three feet of water, to a broken steering cable on a rickety film boat bobbing in the Teahupoo channel, to the historical footage of the worlds youngest rider on the water. The story of Parks Bonifay brings both never seen before mind blowing content and the untold story of the most highly acclaimed athlete in our sport. Join him for the ride. redbullusa.com
This video called Welcome to North Korea by Peter Tetteroo and Raymond Feddema was the winner of the 2001 International Emmy award for Best Documentary. WELCOME TO NORTH KOREA Country of production: Netherlands Year: 2001 WELCOME TO NORTH KOREA is an unusual tour document from the perspective of a Dutch film crew. In this country like no other, gigantic monuments to heroic leaders are seen by almost no one, deluxe hotels hold next to no guests, and traffic police direct traffic that does not exist. Those few foreigners who do visit the country are told straightforwardly about the superhuman feats of the supreme leader Kim Il-Sung, and his son, the dear leader Kim Jong-Il. Those feats seem to be the subject of every public event. Meanwhile, somewhere on the countryside, scores of people die of hunger and are buried three bodies to a body bag. WELCOME TO NORTH KOREA’s filmmakers certainly revel in the exoticism of their subject, especially in the pervasive voiceover. But they also show something of the reasons for that self-cultivated exoticism. Director: Peter Tetteroo Script: Peter Tetteroo with Dr. Raymond Feddema Cinematography: Pieter Groeneveld Production Company: KRO Dutch Television
