ATTACK OF THE 50FT WOMAN This film looks at 'giantessphilia', described as one of the world's most bizarre syndromes. It that draws on some of men and women's deepest desires to conquer and be conquered. While most admit that tall women represent power and strength, some men have taken this desire and created a sub-culture of Amazonian women who perform 'services' that go way beyond the average man's comprehension. This film examines what is it about the image of the 50ft woman that draws men in and plays on their deepest psychological needs, and what the women who perform these services get from doing so.

THE HUMAN SPIDER Alain Robert is on the 88th floor of a skyscraper. Looking down at the city below, he's seized by an attack of vertigo; his heart is pounding, his palms sweating. It wouldn't be so bad -- except that he's on the outside of the building, clinging on with his bare hands. As police sirens wail, security men above him shout instructions, while the crowd on the ground stares open-mouthed. But this is no accident, and Robert is no would-be suicide. Dubbed "The Human Spider", the Frenchman is the most daring climber the world has ever seen. This heart-stopping documentary follows Robert on his quest to "free climb" some of the world's tallest buildings -- no climbing tools, no safety devices. The film features stunning footage of Robert's previous conquests, including the Eiffel Tower and Sydney Opera House, along with ambitious new climbs in Moscow, Shanghai, Lisbon, Rio, Berlin and London.

BABY BIBLE BASHERS Preacher Samuel Boutwell takes his vocation to save sinners from the fires of Hell extremely seriously, and spends every Saturday trying to turn women away from his local Mississippi abortion clinic. Samuel is seven years old. Baby Bible Bashers tells the extraordinary stories of three of the Lord's "chosen children", and their relationships with God, their families and their congregations. In addition to Samuel we meet 9-yr-old Florida firebrand Terry Durham and 12-yr-old Brazilian TV evangelist Ana Carolina Dias. BAFTA-winner Amelia Hann's film follows these pint-size preachers as they go about their missionary work, and uncovers the unsettling and often disturbing truth behind child evangelism. Are these children the innocent conduits of God's word, or has their childhood been sacrificed to satisfy zealous parents and congregations hungry for miracles?
