Pride Rules

PRIDE RULES is a remarkable look at lion prides, their politics, their incessant drive to survive, and the daily struggles they face to protect their territory. On the banks of the Chobe River, a large lion pride dominates the highly prized floodplain territory. Led by two charismatic brothers and a plucky lioness, the pride consists of 18 members. And then there’s Einstein; the wayward son who should have left home long ago. As the dry season takes hold of their territory, the pride capitalizes on weakened elephants, fights off rival lions and sees new cubs into the fold, sparking Einstein’s inevitable eviction. But while Einstein embarks a peril-filled journey to find a new home, his original pride must battle enemies to protect their turf and their cubs. As the series unfolds, births and deaths are inevitable and battles, many. Just like the beautiful river that meanders through the floodplain, there is a constant ebb and flow of change and a constant stream of undercurrents that hint at deceit and demise.

Unique and often bizarre creatures have adapted below and above the waves to make the most of every situation. This series showcases the many incredible creatures that have evolved to call the Pacific home.

Some birds spend 300 days a year up in the air and sleep on the wing. HOW THE WILD THINGS SLEEP explores some of the most extreme sleepers on Earth, as scientists investigate and dig deeper into understanding this incredibly important part of life. How do animals deal with sleep deprivation or the danger of being unconscious while predators roam? These are some of the baffling questions tackled in HOW THE WILD THINGS SLEEP.

Baboons: Rules Of The Troop

Life on Earth is complex and diverse. Through the course of evolution, species have emerged that are adapted to constantly changing environments. There are few more resilient than the baboon. Over the course of the film we follow 4 families – the Beach, Mountain, River and Desert Troops and their dramatic stories of survival on the African continent. From the highlands of Ethiopia, down rivers in Botswana, through deserts to the southernmost beaches of Africa, the film beautifully depicts the adaptations baboons have made to survive under a myriad of harsh conditions.
