British musicians Duncan Bridgeman and Jamie Catto came up with the idea for 1 Giant Leap after discovering their mutual interest in music, film, philosophy, spirituality, and diversity. The project is a synthesis of sound, words, and images collected from around the world, with each track growing as they traveled to 25 countries. They went to places like Senegal, Uganda, India, and Thailand, using only laptop computers and a digital video camera. The DVD features music and interviews with mainstream artists like Michael Stipe and Robbie Williams along with a multitude of unknown world musicians from Northern Africa to Southeast Asia. Author Kurt Vonnegut and actor Dennis Hopper also participate, among others. The disc is divided into 12 themes: Time, Confrontation, Sex, Masks, God, Faith, Blasphemy, Unity, Death, Money, Inspiration, and Happy. The film can be viewed in several different modes, according to the viewer's preferences. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

During World War II, British, American, and Canadian military and intelligence operations joined forces to create a training facility where undercover spies were shown the ropes for ferreting out information on Axis intelligence agents. The training center, known as "Camp X," later became the model for the "spy school" where O.S.S. and C.I.A. agents were prepared for their work in the field, and the camp's graduates include Ian Fleming, the British author who created the James Bond series, and noted advertising man David Ogilvy. Camp X is a film that reveals the history behind the camp and its operations through recently declassified documents and photographs, as well as interviews with camp attendees. Camp X was produced for Canadian television, but also received a handful of theatrical engagements, and was screened at the 2001 Palm Springs Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
