13 Hours To Survive

Journey to the breathtaking, miniature ocean world where the tide creates both opportunity and peril. As the ocean recedes with each low tide, sea creatures—hermit crabs, octopuses, baby sharks, and more—are trapped in tide pools, forced into an intense struggle for survival. In this ever-changing microcosm, predators and prey face off as conditions worsen: the water grows warmer, more acidic, and low on oxygen. Filmed off the coast of Brittany, France, with cutting-edge underwater technology, the series reveals unexpected animal behaviors, from fierce battles to surprising alliances, births, and the will to survive. With just 13 hours until the tide returns, who will make it out alive?

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.

Lost Worlds: Deeper Into The Black Sea

A journey to the depths of the Black Sea yields the greatest series of ancient shipwrecks ever discovered.

This documentary captures a series of astonishing discoveries; a treasure trove of shipwrecks uniquely preserved that date back 2500 years to the Greek and Roman empires, culminating in maritime archaeology’s greatest ever wreck. A fully intact Roman wreck, perfectly preserved in the anoxic waters of the Black Sea.
