From the prosthetics that transformed Tim Curry into the Lord of Darkness in Legend to the war paint and wounds that won her an Oscar® for Braveheart to the realism of Almost Famous and Lincoln, she has proven her mastery in a career spanning over 50 years. Burwell's interest in makeup started at an early age. While attending dance classes in her native London, she started making up her fellow students for recitals. She got her first break when director Bill Forsyth hired her as the entire makeup department for his breakthrough film Gregory's Girl (1980). She first worked with prosthetics on Legend, followed by more fantastical work on films like The Princess Bride (1987), Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) and The Fifth Element (1997). In 1989, she made her first film with Mel Gibson, Air America (1990), followed by his Hamlet (also 1990) and her Oscar-winning work on Braveheart. Another important collaboration started in 1998 with her Oscar-nominated work on Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan (1998). She's worked with him on six more films, including War of the Worlds (2005) and Lincoln. In addition to her Oscar, she has won awards from the Online Film & Television Association for The Fifth Element and Saving Private Ryan.Peter Byck - Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there)

Click here to watch the trailer: https://youtu.be/3PpPmkSAiEw?si=97WSspyjHiyvs30O Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there) is a 4-part documentary series about inventive farmers and maverick scientists building a path to solving climate change with hooves, heart, and soil. Can an underutilized way to graze cattle that mimics the way bison once roamed the land help get farmers out of debt, restore our depleted soils, rebuild wildlife habitat, and draw down huge amounts of carbon? Cattle have been seen as eco-villains for a long time. What if they can help us revive rural economies and ecologies? One question looms over the whole series: even if science shows that the adaptive way to graze is better for the land and the farmers' pocketbooks, will the old-school farmers change, or will they adopt a different method?
