Their quest leads them to some of the world’s most remote caves, both above and below the water, in France, Iceland, the Bahamas, the U.S. and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Together, they go where very few humans will ever go, revealing the incredible lengths scientists will go to study the unknown.

As the glaciers retreated at the end of the last ice age, they left an astounding gift of connected rivers, lakes, and wetlands across the heartland of North America. Today, these largely unknown water highways remain an oasis for wildlife, from the herds of bison that stillroam part of the Great Plains to the swaying grasslands, wildflowers, and vital honeybees that pollinate our crops and especially for the millions of magnificent birds that migrate along these “flyways.”
Wings Over Water , narrated by Michael Keaton, tells the compelling story of three amazing birdspecies—the Sandhill Crane, the Yellow Warbler and the Mallard Duck—with extraordinary footage of their fascinating behaviors. All of them depend on the wetlands for their survival.

Wonders of the Arctic , narrated by Victor Garber, examines the geology and climate of what is perceived to be one of the harshest environments on our planet, exploring the tundra with the people that live there, and discovering the vast array of wildlife thriving in the snow and ice. “Historically, over half of the Arctic Ocean was covered by ice year round,” explained producer, director, and writer David Lickley. “In the past 50 years, that ice cover has been reduced by nearly 70%, and it is predicted that within 15 years there could be a completely ice free Arctic during some months of the year. This is a timely film that explores this ice world from both a human, and a natural history perspective, featuring the iconic ice dependent animals like the polar bear and the bowhead whale.”
