No matter what time of year it is, somewhere on Earth something miraculous is happening.

Trimates

Narrated by award-winning actress Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy, Killing Eve), TRIMATES is a documentary for the whole family. This is a story of two generations of women: the young pioneers - Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey and Birute Galdikas - who set out into the jungles over half a century ago to live with our closest ancestors, the great apes. This is also the story of a generation who followed their articles, transfixed by their stories and determined to follow the same distant paths. Featuring an original musical score, and up-close and personal footage filmed by one of the world’s most renowned natural history cinematographers, this film takes us deep into the jungles and mountains of Uganda, Borneo and Congo, as we explore the frontiers of important research and our human origins.

Pridelands: Wilderness Reborn

Join the Hutchinson family and some amazing elephants, rhinos, lions and leopards, as they take the first step in their mission, transforming a derelict farm in South Africa from a place where animals are hunted to a land where animals rule.

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.
