Colin Stafford-Johnson journeys through one of the most bewitching islands in the world, featuring the wildlife and wild places that make it so special. In the first part of this two-part mini-series, Colin explores corners of Cuba that few outsiders have seen. Amongst the wonders he encounters is the bee hummingbird, the world’s tiniest bird, found nowhere else on the planet, and the spectacle of thousands of crabs migrating en masse. Cuba’s isolation has helped preserve many of its natural riches, creating unspoiled landscapes that are home to many enchanting animals living under the bluest skies in the Caribbean. In this authored odyssey, the natural magic of one Earth’s most intriguing countries is revealed.

As the largest island in the Caribbean, Cuba is host to spectacular wildlife found nowhere else on the planet: from the jumping crocodiles of the Zapata swamp to the world's tiniest hummingbird, from thousands of migrating crabs to giant, bat-eating boas that lie in wait for easy prey. Decades of a socialist, conservation-minded government, American embargoes and minimal development have left the island virtually unchanged for 50 years. As international relations ease, what will become of this wildlife sanctuary?

Документальный фильм об одном из величайших достижений и самом успешном научном проекте человечества — запуске двух космических аппаратов — «Вояджер-1» и «Вояджер-2». Уже 40 лет «Вояджеры» продолжают лететь и передавать на родную планету данные своих научных наблюдений. «Вояджер: дальше планет» — это двухчасовое путешествие по маршруту «Вояджеров» — к Юпитеру, Сатурну, Урану, Нептуну и дальше, к границам Солнечной системы. Оба аппарата несут на себе золотые диски с посланием инопланетянам — на случай, если «Вояджерам» вдруг придется столкнуться с ними на своем пути. Рассказ о сделанных миссией открытиях в фильме перемежается историей создания диска-послания — какую именно информацию выбрали земляне 1977 года, чтобы отправить возможным соседям по Вселенной? Меж тем, пока вы читали этот абзац, «Вояджер-1» успел пролететь еще 500 километров — в неизведанное.

The Shannon is Ireland’s greatest geographical landmark and longest river. It is both a barrier and highway, a silver ribbon holding back the rugged landscapes of the west from the gentler plains to the east. On its journey south, the Shannon passes through a huge palette of rural landscapes, where on little-known backwaters, Ireland’s wild animals and plants still thrive as almost nowhere else. For a year, wildlife cameraman Colin Stafford-Johnson lives on the river, camping on its banks, exploring its countless tributaries in a traditional canoe, following the river from dawn to dusk through the four seasons, on a quest to film the natural history of the Shannon as it has never been seen or heard or experienced before.
