Red Crabs Crazy Ants

Christmas Island is home to the yearly mass migration of red crabs. Each year many of the crabs fall victim to the alien yellow crazy ants. These ants release formic acid as they crawl over and around the crabs which, with no defence against the ferocity of the onslaught, become stressed and generally die within a few hours.

Coral City

CORAL CITY takes viewers inside the vibrant, bustling ecosystem of the Great Barrier Reef, one of the planet’s largest and most biodiverse natural wonders. Like a bustling city, the reef is home to distinct “neighborhoods” – coral, lagoon, sand cay, and coastal rainforest – each with its own rhythms, influenced by the tides, time of day, and changing seasons. This stunning documentary series reveals how the four seasons drive the behaviors, feeding patterns, and life cycles of the marine creatures that call the reef home. From the dramatic coral spawning in Spring to the Summer’s intense phytoplankton bloom and the autumn struggles of over-heated waters, CORAL CITY captures the ebb and flow of life in one of the world’s most intricate ecosystems. Each season brings its challenges, triumphs, and moments of breathtaking beauty, making it clear why the Great Barrier Reef is both fragile and vital to the planet’s future.

Evolution Earth

EVOLUTION EARTH embarks on a global expedition to reveal the extraordinary ways animals are keeping pace with a planet that is changing at superspeed. We meet the scientists, filmmakers and local communities at the front lines of this rapid change. They show that we too can help, and that if we work with nature in planned conservation efforts, nature can do more than survive - it can bounce back. This five-part series is narrated by Princeton University’s Shane Campbell-Staton, who guides us through each episode in an intimate narrative style, drawing on his background as an evolutionary biologist.

The Great Elephant Tale

The film follows three elephant herds in three very different African environments; the lush abundance of the Okavango delta (Botswana), the wilds of the remote Lower Zambezi valley (Zambia) and the harsh terrain of the Hoanib Desert (Namibia). In each habitat we follow a different character. A mother guides her family to find food, water and shelter, a young calf navigates the dangers of her new environment and a bull pursues a breeding herd as he attempts to extend his bloodline. The three narratives intertwine as we compare and contrast the challenges faced by the same species in vastly different scenarios, while bitesize factual sequences are placed to give the viewer a deeper understanding of what makes elephants tick.

Raised Human

Written in Stone

WRITTEN IN STONE is the story of northwestern Canada’s Mount Todagin. It’s known as a “Serengeti in the sky” and yet it was once the ocean’s floor. This ancient seabed vaulted into the sky upon the shoulders of warring mountain ranges. Here on this alpine plateau mowed close by relentless winds, life subsists on the narrowest of margins. But this seemingly inhospitable landscape is home to an exotic species of mountain sheep and the Native peoples who have used this mountain for millennia. This documentary explores how the very minerals that attract the sheep and the indigenous people may also cause them to abandon Mount Todagin…forever.
