In 2015, Belfast musician Joby Fox is so horrified at refugees and migrants drowning in the Mediterranean that he goes straight to Greece to help. Amongst the volunteers standing on the Lesvos beach waiting for the boats to arrive, he realises the real need is out at sea. He comes home with a mission - to fund and operate a rescue boat. Mouth like a machine gun, heart like a whale. Mary Kelly brings peace to the streets of North Belfast. Short documentary about Berlin artist Konstantin Schneider and his exhibition Alles Super at the Art Von Frei gallery, Berlin. Glacier scientist Lea Hartl works in Innsbruck, studying glaciers and permafrost in the region and further afield. It's one of the most visible signs of the changing climate. Photographer Anton Brey has spent decades exploring The Alps. To him, there is still so much to discover, and he is truly at home in the mountains.
