Queen Elizabeth Park Walkabout
The rock taken from this quarry was used at the turn of the 20th century to build Vancouvers first roads. By 1911 the quarry had closed and sat as an unused eyesore for 3 decades. It was named Queen Elizabeth Park in 1939 after a visit by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (Queen Elizabeth II's mother). In the 1940's the Vancouver Parks Board began to incrementally transform the overgrown hillsides into a civic arboretum.
I filmed this with my wonky cell phone so it made for a bumpy ride. I couldn't see what I was filming from the glare on the screen but managed to get things somewhat centered. I started with just ambient sounds from the park but someone decided to throw a party/reception at the foot of the park and had a DJ squawking on a loudspeaker so I ended up adding music: James Horner, from The New World soundtrack - Of the Forest.

Inside South Africas White Displacement Camps
As a white South African male born in 1977 Pietermaritzburg this brings tears to my eyes seeing the hurt and pain of everyday whites in South Africa and knobhead leftist cult followers are brainwashed by their peers to believe we are all hateful nazi white supremacists. My family left when i was 5 and if I had stayed would be a statistic, Pietermaritzburg was murder capital of the world with over 79 murders per day and 3500 aids deaths per year. All my life have been branded a racist white supremacist while having asian, Indian and African friends. Why? because i prefer my own culture to others? is that not what islam is? is that not what many cultures do? support each other before extending help to others? reverse racism is real and a present danger to western white European society!
