It was the first bomber with pressurised crew compartments. It differed from its predecessors by the use of remotely controlled machine gun turrets. During the war it was sent to the Pacific area, where its great range made it particularly suited to the long attack flights to Japan from bases in China.

In Aukland Harbour, New Zealand, on July 10th 1985, French navy combat frogmen placed two mines against the hull of the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior. At ten minutes to midnight, the bombs exploded, sinking the ship and killing photographer Fernando Pereira. The French government were desperately trying to hide the truth about the bombing and the truth about its nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific ocean, and would have gone to any lengths to silence its opponents. This is a film about international espionage, government cover-up and the nuclear arms race, which has disturbing parallels with today’s ‘War on Terror’.
Jeffreys Bay is one of the natural wonders of the surfing world. A perfect righ-hand pointbreak en route from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town on Africa's southern tip, Jeffreys channels the energy from Antarctic storm swells into corduroy lines that peel for up to 800 meters along a sandy headland. Chords captures those moments during the 2003 J-Bay sessions that best emphasize the performances and the atmosphere of the Jeffreys spectacle through action cinematography, lifestyle footage and interviews with competitors and industry insiders.
