Summary: Features the dramas 1492 - CONQUEST OF PARADISE, GREY OWL, and FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX (2004).
Features the dramas 1492 - CONQUEST OF PARADISE, GREY OWL, and FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX (2004). 1492 - CONQUEST OF PARADISE looks at the life and times of the adventurer and explorer Christopher Columbus from his triumph at discovering the Americas, to his death in obscurity. GREY OWL is based on the true story of Grey Owl, an Ojibwa Indian living during the 1930s. Grey Owl uses the forest for his own financial gain but when he meets a Mohawk-Indian named Pony, falls in love with her and he begins to understand more of the habitat that he lives in. In FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX (2004), a pilot on a routine trip out to investigate some remote oil rigs in the Gobi Desert makes a crash landing in the middle of nowhere. For him, and the men along for the ride, a slow, tortured, thirsty death seems certain, unless the plucky mechanic in the crew can design a whole new plane from the wreckage. The men and one woman have to tangle with murderous desert raiders and numerous sandstorms in addition to the frequent squabbling amongst themselves.
