Cascadia: The Big One
Director
When the word volcano is even mentioned in the context of the North American continent, most people’s minds automatically go to the “super volcano” that's located in Yellowstone National Park. But is this Yellowstone eruption theory in fact a distraction to the real danger at hand on the Western Coast of the USA? The Cascade Region of the Northwestern Coast of the USA boasts 11 of the 18 most dangerous volcanoes, yet the fervor over a Yellowstone explosion overshadows that very real threat of Cascadia.
The Mountain Lion and Me
Writer
On the outskirts of Yellowstone National Park is Paradise Valley, Montana, home to bears, wolves, elk, and an animal so secretive, few ever get to see it: the mountain lion. Wildlife filmmaker Casey Anderson became one of those lucky few after following the tracks of the elusive cat from his backyard into the world of a mother and her three cubs. It was the beginning of what would become a remarkable relationship that gave Casey a rare glimpse into the life of a mountain lion family and a new understanding of an animal we know so little about.
