 is a 1962 American action/adventure romantic comedy film directed by Howard Hawks and starring John Wayne.
 It portrays a group of professional game catchers in Africa.
 The film includes dramatic wildlife chases and the scenic backdrop of Mount Meru, a dormant volcano. Actuality film
The actuality film is a non-fiction film genre that, like the documentary film, uses footage of real events, places, and things, yet unlike the documentary is not structured into a larger argument, picture of the phenomenon or coherent whole.
 In practice, actuality films preceded the emergence of the documentary.
 During the era of early cinema, actualities—usually lasting no more than a minute or two and usually assembled together into a program by an exhibitor—were just as popular and prominent as their fictional counterparts.
 The line between "fact" and "fiction" was not so sharply drawn in early cinema as it would become after the documentary came to serve as the predominant non-fiction filmmaking form.
 An actuality film is not like a newspaper article so much as it is like the still photograph that is published along with the article, with the major difference being that it moves.
 Apart from the traveling actuality genre, actuality is one film genre that remains strongly related to still photography. Meru (beetle)
Meruidae is a recently described family of aquatic beetles in the suborder Adephaga, with only one genus and species, Meru phyllisae.
 This beetle species was first found in the early 1980s.
 At 0.8 mm, it is one of the smallest adephagan beetles in the world.
 A recent survey of aquatic beetles of Venezuela prove that Meru is most common during the wet season, when larger areas of granitic rock surface are covered with water film, which the adult beetles as well as the larvae inhabit. Fantasia International Film Festival

 The successful 2011 ascent of the Shark's Fin on Meru and a prior attempt in 2008 were detailed in the 2015 documentary film "Meru" Social problem film
A social problem film is a narrative film that integrates a larger social conflict into the individual conflict between its characters.
 Like many film genres, the exact definition is often in the eye of the beholder, but Hollywood did produce and market a number of topical films in the 1930s and by the 1940s, the term "social problem" or "message" film was conventional in its usage among the film industry and the public.
 Many characteristics that have grown to define the social problem film revolve around the perceived consciousness of the nation about a certain social issue and integrating that issue into a narrative structure.
 Social problems such as the horrors of war, suffering of the poor, addiction, the rights of women, and the inhumanity of a certain world are often put on display.
 The problem with defining this type of film as a genre lies within the ability it has to separate itself from films that display similar style, as a lot of films do address social issues.
 However, the social problem film differentiates itself by focusing on the problems within the historical context of the current time, dealing with the social issue of a certain era as it applies to that era with a style that is much more didactic than its contemporaries.
 Furthermore, the social problem film allows further immersion into a certain issue than other genre films.
 For instance, gangster and prison films will reflect certain features of a social issue but won't actually fully explore the problem in the way that would qualify it for this genre. Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi
