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.

Ireland's Wild Islands
Crossing The Line
2 x 60' Blue Chip | 3 x 60' Hosted 4K HDR
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

These otters peacefully coexist – as long as they remain in their own territory, under their queen. But peace breeds restlessness.
