- This 11 episode series questions the separation that our cultures or religions have tried to establish between human beings and animals.
- 200 kmh winds, 18 cyclones, 12 countries - Andy Byatt (Blue Planet, Earth) Cyril Barbançon and Jacqueline Farmer have teamed up with NASA and composer Yann Tiersen to bring this thrilling and immersive experience to the big screen. Beginning its tumultuous journey as an ominous sandstorm in Senegal, heading west across the Atlantic to toss enormous ships and waves topsy-turvy, then crashing into the jungles of the Caribbean, we live inside this hurricane, and it is truly awesome, scary and incredible. Ants, lizards, bats, frogs, horses, homeless men, rivers, ocean reefs, the US Gulf coast - all bend before the power of this monsoon turned magnificent. We see it from space, we see it through the eyes of animals, from the operations' rooms of the emergency agencies meant to warn us and help us cope - and we see it from the ground as it explodes and unleashes its fury upon us.
- Follow the story of 65 million years of evolution around a volcanic hotspot in the Indian Ocean. These catastrophic events have shaped life as we know it, from the smallest microbes to the largest beasts to ever live, the dinosaurs.
- 2009–201952m7.6 (12)TV EpisodeThe stunningly wild and remote Shetland Islands are home to the highest density of otters in Europe. But despite their numbers, otters are extremely shy and are rarely seen. The harsh northerly environment forces these animals to live on the edge. The otter mother alone is responsible for raising her cubs - teaching them to dive, hunt and fish and gradually leading them to independence. When times are tough, otter mothers often face difficult decisions. By the time the cubs are a year old and have finished their education, the mother will chase her male cubs away, forcing them to start a new life on their own. This is the story of one family and their bid for survival.
- Die Nordsee: Unser Meer is a feature-length nature documentary directed by Klaus Müller, which looks as the fauna and flora that resides in the water and along the coastlines of the North Sea in northern Europe; from gray seals swimming in the waters off Heligoland in Germany or basking on the chalk cliffs of Dover in England, to large squid in the Dutch Oosterschelde, the film uses helicopters and underwater cameras to observe these lovely creatures from all possible perspectives.
- This is the true story of a 15,000-kilometre journey in the footsteps of one of the most devastating natural events on our planet: the Atlantic Hurricane. Our protagonist is both shatteringly destructive and vital to life on Earth.
- Where do insects, birds, and mammals come from? Thanks to new technologies and recent discoveries, scientists can now recreate the missing branches of the tree of life.
- Since the beginning of the century, four unmanned missions have been sent to asteroids. They aim to analyze the composition and behavior of these celestial bodies that have remained relatively unchanged since the creation of our solar system. These time capsules contain precious information about the original ingredients that formed our planet. Asteroids could help scientists answer the fundamental question: How did life appear on Earth? The first missions revealed that most asteroids were accumulations of rocks rather than solid blocks, the result of a huge game of celestial snooker. Soon, scientists realized the necessity of bringing back samples from asteroids. These samples would need to be contained in hermetically sealed vessels that could survive re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. This technological challenge tests the nerves of space probe operators who must orchestrate and program the movements of space craft from a distance of several hundred million miles away.
- How has the catfish - the largest freshwater fish in Europe that terrorizes pikes, pigeons and even bathers - progressively colonized all rivers without eliminating any other species?
- Today, space debris has become the nightmare of telecommunications operators and space agencies. Since the beginning of the conquest of space at the end of the 1950s, the number of spacecraft launches has multiplied. Many of them, now useless, wander above the Earth and sometimes collide. Satellites carrying nuclear charges, stages or tanks of launchers have already fallen back to Earth, without causing any casualties until now. Faced with the danger, space actors are now constantly monitoring the clouds of waste, ready to divert their satellites or installations in an emergency.
- Asteroid Rush - Planetary Defense: What seemed like science fiction has now become reality: we are learning how to deflect asteroids from their celestial path.
- Crittercam unveils the remarkable survival of the Emperor Penguin in Antarctica's frozen expanses, offering an intimate look into their extraordinary lives.
- The Giant Oarfish, the largest bony fish in the world, was known only by rare examples that died by stranding, as well as one sole fossil. Its extraordinary dimensions, as long as 15 meters, and shape in the form of a silver ribbon, inspired the myth of the sea serpent. For the past two years, scientific buoys, immersed at a depth of two thousand meters in the Mediterranean, off the French Riviera, have attracted countless species of pelagic fish; among them, the Giant Oarfish drifting vertically, alone or by pairs. With the help of the world expert in Giant Oarfish and logistic collaboration of enthusiasts, a scientific expedition reveals the biology of this enigmatic ambassador of the abyss. Entirely shot in Ultra High Definition, the film raises the veil on its paradoxical habits: why do all the adults self-mutilate and rid themselves of two-thirds of their bodies without being affected? How do they meet in the immensity of the ocean? Why does this fish not have any known predators?
- Around the Crozet Islands, here is the incredible odyssey of a family of Sperm Whales facing rapid changes in their environment. From the stormy surface to the eternal darkness of the abyss, several generations of these deep-sea divers encounter men and their "toys": harpoons of yesterday, and fishing lines of today. Once victim of whale hunting, now accused of stealing fish, a sperm whale shares its private life with us. And what an immersion! We discover in turn its mysterious sonar, its competitors like orcas, and also the strange world of its neighbors - the deep-sea monsters. Amongst them, a revelation: the biggest squid ever filmed in its natural environment, almost 15 feet long. Come and discover the depths of the Crozet abyss...
- During four years of shooting in the icy waters that surround the volcanic archipelago of the Crozet Islands, we have followed the trial and tribulations of Delphine, a young female adolescent killer whale. Living and growing within her family group she gradually learns how to find her bearings, how to hunt king penguins or Minke rorquals and how to get stranded in order to catch sea elephants.
- From the Andes mountain to the Himalayan plateaux past the icy wastelands of Iceland and the paradise islands of Vanuatu, this film presents the major natural disasters of 2015 from the least deadly to the most dramatic.
- Before being an azure paradise, the lagoon of New-Caledonia is above all a paradise for sharks. Fierce predators or astute scavengers? Scavengers, that are not too picky when it comes to their menu: feathers, fins or fur, anything will do.
- Hurricanes begin as harmless breezes from Northern Africa; inoffensive winds that move westwards over the tropical Atlantic Ocean.
