Rise Again: Tulsa and the Red Summer
Channel: National Geographic Channel (DStv 181 / StarSat 220)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Documentary, History
National Geographic Documentary Films partnered with filmmaker Dawn Porter on this feature documentary that sheds new light on a century-old period of intense racial conflict.
Rise Again: Tulsa and the Red Summer comes just over 100 years after the two-day Tulsa Massacre in 1921 that led to the murder of hundreds of black people and left thousands homeless and displaced.
Award-winning journalist and Oklahoma native DeNeen Brown is at the heart of the film, reporting on the search for a mass grave in her native state.
Digging into the events that led to one of the worst episodes of racial violence in America's history, Brown reveals insights into racial-conflict incidents that erupted in the early 20th century.
Brown's reporting highlights the revived call for justice for victims and survivors.
Following a 2018 investigative report, Brown explores the current new anti-racism movement in the context of the Tulsa Massacre and the Red Summer.
With access to family members of those killed, city officials, archaeologists and historians, the film reveals the decades-long effort by descendants and community members to find the victims' bodies and unearth truths that have been suppressed for nearly a century.
The documentary also untangles the role the media played in covering events at the time in order to reveal the full extent of the nation's buried past.
The Way of the Cheetah
Channel: Nat Geo Wild (DStv 182 / StarSat 221)
TX Time: 18h00
Genre: Wildlife, Documentary
There really is no other big cat on the planet that is like a cheetah.
These are the most fragile cats physically and in numbers, now under 7,000 left in the world.
This story tells of Immani, a sleek female with four new cubs as they navigate the vast plains of the Mara ecosystem.
But living here is also a coalition of five males, and to save her cubs Immani must avoid them.
The film goes under the cover of darkness with thermal cameras, capturing the lush colours of Africa.
But when it comes to the hunting scenes, as these shape-shifting cats appear from nowhere in a blur, captured in ultra-high speed motion, the battles turn epic.
The film was made by Dereck and Beverly Joubert, who have made dozens of big cat films for National Geographic over nearly 40 years - but never one about cheetahs.
