Karin Muller: There’s a side of Cuba you’ve seen before and a side you haven’t. Known for her fearless curiosity, adventure filmmaker and author Karin Muller hitchhiked around Cuba for three months, living with fishermen and farmers, country doctors and a Santeria priestess. She was arrested over a dozen times, but in the end she managed to get beyond the propaganda and rhetoric to capture the true character of the Cuban people. Viewers see the soul of Cuba, including life on the black market, hitchhiking protocol, slums, rock concerts, 50-year-old car repair, and a stunning end to an explosive festival. Cuba’s Secret Side is an entertaining, insightful, and often humorous look at a side of Cuba that few foreigners are allowed to see.

Marlin Darrah: Travel to Germany and Switzerland with the world’s most traveled filmmaker, Marlin Darrah. In cities steeped in history, we begin our trip in Munich, where we visit boisterous markets and Baroque palaces. Heading into the foothills of the Alps, we tour the fairytale castles of “Mad” King Ludwig, cross into Tirol to explore desolate castle ruins, and climb to the top of the Zugspitze, the highest point in Germany. We travel to the walled town of Rothenburg to see Germany’s best wood carving, a vivid dose of medieval punishment, and a tour with the night watchman of the town’s lamp-lit ramparts. For a finale, we ride Europe’s highest railway up the mighty Swiss Jungfrau for hot cocoa, glacier sledding, and spectacular views.

Rick Ray: From sneaking past the Khmer Rouge to outrunning Somali bandits, director / cinematographer Rick Ray shares the stories behind his most compelling footage. Rick also gives tips to aspiring videographers on how to get past angry Indian mobs and how to talk your way out of Ethiopian jails. Be mesmerized by stories, photos and film clips from decades of misadventures, as you flirt with international danger and intrigue dished up by acclaimed storyteller Rick Ray. A former Lonely Planet backpacker turned cinematographer, writer and director, Rick Ray has produced more than twelve films on regions as diverse as Israel, Bali, Borneo, Lebanon, Ethiopia, Syria and Iceland. Rick’s appearance at Calvin marks his third annual visit to our campus.

Sean Cassidy and Patricia Keith: Tibet is a land of spiritual Buddhist lamas, mythical Shangri-la, domesticated yaks, and the tallest mountain in the world. Journey to a mysterious world with its magnificent monasteries, prayer halls of chanting monks, and remote cliffside retreats. The highest plateau of earth, Tibet has a level of devotion and faith that seems to belong to an earlier, almost medieval age. Travel by Landcruiser and horse cart to “the top of the world” where we pass glittering turquoise lakes, huge plains dotted with yaks and nomads’ tents and high passes draped with colorful prayer flags. Always ready with a smile and with great tolerance and openness of heart despite decades of political turmoil and hardship, it is the people that truly make travelling in Tibet such a profound joy.

Bill Behrenbruch: The Old Spanish Trail was the original trade route in the nineteenth century between Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Los Angeles, California. Having little to do with the Spanish, this was actually a Mexican route named by the Americans. And when the Americans conquered the Southwest in the Mexican War of 1846-1848, the Old Spanish Trail virtually disappeared from history. For today’s traveler it is a journey off the beaten track where one is not only awestruck by the majestic scenery of the Southwest but enlightened by the history of this trail, first with the Anasazi Indians, and followed by the American explorers and trappers. It’s all here. Off the beaten track. Along The Old Spanish Trail.
