In the middle of a broadcast about Typhoon Yolanda's initial impact, reporter Jiggy Manicad was faced with the reality that he no longer had communication with his station. They were, for all intents and purposes, stranded in Tacloban. With little option, and his crew started the six hour walk to Alto, where the closest broadcast antenna was to be found. Letting the world know what was happening to was a priority, but they were driven by the need to let their families and friends know they were all still alive. Along the way, they encountered residents and victims of the massive typhoon, and with each step it became increasingly clear just how devastating this storm was. This was a storm that was going to change lives.

The "Globe of Death" is a sensational, very dangerous circus act, which was popularized in the United States by Douglas Mac Valley. Mac Valley ended his days in Samoa, and he passed the baton to Bruno Loyale who has been presenting the "Globe of Death" in his Magic Circus of Samoa for thirty years. Within the Magic Circus of Samoa, three motorcycles compete in the metal globe. In 2019, for the first time a woman is at the helm: Yudy Serna Rodriguez is Colombian. In his family, all his brothers fly around the globe. She is the only girl. Her husband Sébastien Moreno Delgado is her partner in the globe. The third man is Brazilian. Together Yudy and Sébastien open and close the Magic Circus show, first with an aerial acrobatics number, then in the globe. They also rehearse a spectacular new number.
