Woodpeckers: The Hole Story

There are over 240 species of woodpeckers. They live on every continent except Antarctica and Australia. Woodpeckers come in all shapes and sizes, each uniquely engineered for their particular lifestyles. Some are sap drinkers, others live exclusively in forests ravaged by fire. Others catch insects on the wing acting more like a swallow than a woodpecker. And still others drill deep into the bark of decaying trees using their spear like tongue to fish insects from deep in the cambium. WOODPECKERS: THE HOLE STORY pecks away at what makes woodpeckers so special. We will follow intimate stories of two very different families raising their young, explore woodpeckers’ unique evolutionary journey and the powerful role they play in every ecosystem they inhabit.

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

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.
