How The Wild Things Sleep

Everybody does it differently – but everybody does it: enormous elephants do it for only two hours a day, while tiny bees snooze up to 10 hours daily. 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.

Dances With Cranes

DANCES WITH CRANES follows the incredible journey of the whooping crane, one of the world’s rarest and most ancient birds, predating humans by tens of thousands of years. Once nearly extinct, with fewer than 20 remaining in the 1940s, these majestic creatures are still fighting for survival. This film explores the remarkable efforts of scientists who will go to any length to save them—whether performing mating dances or jumping from helicopters to study them in the wild. Over the course of a year in the life of three whooping crane chicks, we witness the challenges of bringing a species back from the brink of extinction, from the early conservation efforts to new threats posed by climate change. DANCES WITH CRANES tells a story of resilience, dedication, and the fight to protect an ancient species.

A Bee's Diary

In a beehive, tens of thousands of tiny animals work toward a common goal: the survival of the colony. But what is life like for an individual honeybee? A BEE'S DIARY tells that story. Scientists are learning that each bee in a hive is an individual, with its own personality. Told from the point of view of just two bees, an elderly “winter bee” who nurtures the new generation and a young forager who grows as the colony expands, this documentary reveals the secrets of a bee’s life from a completely new perspective. *Winner of 2021 Best Original Music, Non-Fiction, Canadian Screen Awards *Nominated for 2021 Best Visual Effects, Canadian Screen Awards *Winner of the GREEN SCREEN Nature Film Award *GREEN SCREEN Film Award winner for Best Story *GREEN SCREEN Film Award winner for Best Post Production
