Ireland's Wild Islands
Rising like emerald jewels off the far edge of Europe, Ireland’s western isles have always been places apart – the last scraps of rock before the void of the Atlantic Ocean. For millennia, Ireland was the very edge of the known world and her Atlantic islands were another step again - the final stop for countless animals before they disappeared into the mists of the western ocean on their ceaseless journeys of life. With the animal world collapsing around the globe, many experts look to these deserted islands as some of nature’s last strongholds, that are to be treasured long into the future. This series blends magnificent imagery with intimate animal insights to create a truly breathtaking series about Ireland’s most special wild places. Each episode of IRELAND'S WILD ISLANDS will weave stunning natural history and environmental themes, with traditional folklore and history to bring each island’s story to life. In the hosted version, Eoin Warner takes us on an informative journey across these secluded islands. Awards: Best Series, 48th International Wildlife Film Festival

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.
