Lost in Hong Kong
​
Travel with Tim Chan as he chases his mischievous dog across the city from Hong Kong Park to Sai Kung in a light-hearted celebration of Hong Kong's diversity, its amazing transport systems, and the kindness of strangers. Tim will have to be 'as quick as fried noodles' if he wants to catch his friend and get home in time for dinner.
Black Rain Day - A Hong Kong Adventure
​
There's no place like home. But as Neve discovers, home can mean different things to different creatures.
Stuck indoors during a torrential rainstorm, Neve expects a boring day of TV and homework. When she is taken on a journey by some of Hong Kong’s native inhabitants, she finds out that Hong Kong is a lot wilder than she’d ever imagined.
The Last Gibbon
​
In the dwindling rainforests of Hainan, China, a solitary gibbon remains - it is the last of its species and has survived undiscovered in the remote mountain woodlands. But its fate is entwined with that of an ageing hunter, Jiang, who has vowed to catch this immensely valuable creature. Is there any hope left for the Hainan Gibbon?
