While everyone would love to live a long life, Suzuki is more interested in living a longer, healthier one - so he’s taking a journey to discover if he’s still alive because of the choices he’s made, or if he’s just been lucky to have inherited good genes. *David Suzuki won the 2021 Lifetime Achievement Award, Canadian Screen Awards

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.

As the world begins to panic about global warming, what was once unthinkable is now becoming undeniable, and a perilous chapter opens in the climate crisis debate. Narrated by Jane Fonda, the film journeys to the edge of science and science-fiction to meet the prophets of “geo-engineering” who hope to avert climate doom by dimming the sun, duplicating volcanoes, transforming ocean clouds and re-greening billions of acres of the world’s landscape. Are they desperate delusions that distract us from reality, or do they bring real hope for the future? Nominations: 2024 Canadian Screen Awards: Best Nature or Science Documentary Program Or Series
