The Responsible Traveller (working title)
Stories on the exploitation by the travel industry of local communities and the environment, looking at how the fair-trade tourism movement is trying to turn things around.
“Responsible tourism is starting to change the way we do holidays and is making a real difference to peoples lives. We are working with young social entrepreneurs that are pioneering the fairtrade approach. We will be starting production in 2008 on The Responsible Traveller.”
James Newton, Producer
Feature length documentary
Ride Earth (working title)
Andy and Tom are two normal mountain bikers from Leicestershire with a very abnormal idea of a leisurely bike ride. They are spending 4 years cycling around the world, mostly off-road, sleeping out every night…
Supported by WWF, their expedition is aimed at raising awareness of sustainable travel and in doing so attempting to fulfill their passion, the journey must be completed. We have been following Tom and Andy filming key stages of the trip, they are also filming the day to day action on the road.
For more information visit the project website which also contains video podcasts from the first few months of their trip. www.ride-earth.org.uk
