Circus

I have fallen in love with a series on TV called Circus (airing in South Africa on Discovery World). It gives a remarkable in depth view of life in and around the big tent, from riggers to performers. Daily life and strife. It is so beautifully filmed and edited, I feel inspired and enthralled every time I watch it. I am taken in. I have never identified with the circus, I actually dislike the thought of them, especially the ones that employ the use of animals such as elephants and tigers. This show opened my eyes. They showed what a family they are, what it takes to live in world and they invited us to watch. I am sad it was limited to a six part documentary series, but glad to have seen it. 


Enjoy the clips below. Hope you have seen it too!
