It’s Your World; is an exciting, environmentally-conscious travel documentary series in which our hosts traverse the globe in search of extraordinary individuals making a difference. From the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal to the rainforests of Madagascar, the team work with groups passionate about social and environmental change. Along the way, they connect with communities, spotlight pressing issues, and take part in projects – empowering others to reduce their footprint by getting involved.

In the wake of global climate concerns and ecological crises, accelerated modernization and unprecedented wildlife extinction, It’s Your World is a journey inspired by questions and motivated towards solutions.

The hosts work alongside inspiring individuals who have dedicated their lives to community and conservation work – often at great personal and professional risk. Some groups devote their time and resources rescuing and rehabilitating threatened and endangered species, many of which have been confiscated from the illegal pet and animal trade. These include the Asian elephant, Red Panda and many species of gibbons.


The docu-series, filmed in HDV, is part investigative, part adventure and wholly participatory – showing how volunteering can be a viable, rewarding alternative to typical tourism.

Tim Gorski, Mei-Ling McNamara, Jon Kane, and Chris Borromeo are filmmakers, writers, performers and travellers with an insatiable wanderlust, a craving for adventure, and a desire to help redress the earth’s imbalance. From filming exposés on the inhumane treatment of captive wildlife in the U.S., spearheading HIV/AIDS radio campaigns in Madagascar, documenting illegal whaling activities in Antarctica, or photographing wildlife in the reserves of South Africa, every team member brings their own cache of experience and passion to It's Your World.

Rising Above the Wave; is a journey to the Kingdom of Smiles exploring the human condition and the psycological aftermath of the 2004 Asian Tsunami.

This documentary is a volunteer effort to encourage travelers to visit Thailand, enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells and to take park in a volunteer effort like no other.

A majority of the tourist destinations in Thailand have not been lost due to the tsunami, however the country suffers from a severe decline in tourism

There are over 100 orphans from the Island of Ko Phi Phi alone. And over 200 volunteers on the island right now, rebuilding.

This was the largest natural disaster in modern history, many villages were completely destroyed but with the grace and resiliance of the Thai people and thousands of international volunteers the communities are recovering.

After a few hard days work in the south you can slow down in Pai. Or visit the caves in Sappong or simply kick back on the island.

The team designed an MFA thesis/Fulbright Scholarship project that explores the natural wonder and cultural beauty of Thailand while promoting eco-friendly tourism. We explore the remarkable hero journeys of survivors and volunteers along the way.

Two of the filmmakers involved in this project have a unique perspective and relationship with South East Asia as they have experienced the devastating tsunami first hand, Tim was in Thailand and Valerie in Malaysia. They lived it. They felt the wave of emotions, hours of paranoia, days of uncertainty. They worked in the aftermath days of rescue and relief while stranded on remote islands with thousands of dead and wounded. They worked side by side with locals and tourists as national boundaries and cultural differences were overthrown by the overwhelming desire to help. This project is their contribution to the country they feel so strongly connected to and fondly refer to as “The Land of Smiles.”
