At Chengdu Panda Base in China, scientists are dedicated to protecting the species by breeding adult Giant Pandas in order to introduce cubs into the wild. This film follows one such researcher, whose passion leads her to initiate a new technique inspired by a black bear program in rural New Hampshire. What starts as a cross-culture collaboration becomes a life-changing journey for an American biologist who crosses an ocean to join her; a scientist from Inner Mongolia; and a very curious female cub named Qian Qian, born in captivity.

Narrated by Academy Award winner Robert Redford, Grand Canyon Adventure takes viewers on an exhilarating river-rafting expedition down one of America’s most iconic rivers, the Colorado, as it explores the history and beauty of the canyon and the river that has shaped the destiny of the civilization that grew up around it. Originally filmed in 70mm 3D with the IMAX Solido camera, the film has been digitally remastered and re-edited to make the film’s visceral whitewater rafting scenes even more thrilling and interactive for the giant screen. Leading the expedition is celebrated anthropologist/explorer Wade Davis and Shana Watahomigie, a member of the Havasupai tribe and the first Native American to become a National Park Ranger and river guide. Together they show us the significance of this hallowed, living natural wonder and the importance of living in harmony with our natural surroundings.

Far Northern Australia is a land of extremes.  Huge bushfires ravage the ancient landscape in the dry season and the world’s biggest thunderstorms bring torrential rain and flooding in the wet season.  These almost Jurassic conditions have created some of the richest wetlands on Earth.

The coast, rivers and waterholes are haunted by sharks.  The plains are guarded by territorial buffalo and venomous snakes but the apex predator here is a living dinosaur the salt water crocodile.  They have been on the planet in almost identical form for 200 million years – even surviving the meteor strike that wiped out the rest of the dinosaurs.

Crocodiles are the ultimate predators.  They attack with stealth, are extremely aggressive and can grow up to 7 meters in length.  Up here, they have even been known to attack and pull fisherman out of boats.

This film will carry the viewers across the whole Top End of Australia, from the wild Kimberly coast through mysterious and rarely seen Arnhem Land and then deep into the world’s oldest rainforest in Cape York.
