Фильмы

Flyways
Executive Producer
Flyways follows endangered migratory shorebirds as they travel their ancient migration routes around the planet. Using nanotechnology and global tracking from the International Space Station, the project will uncover the paths of the world’s greatest, feathered endurance athletes and shine a light on the scientists and international lawyers who are collaborating to save them.
All That Breathes
Executive Producer
Against the darkening backdrop of New Delhi's apocalyptic air and escalating violence, two brothers devote their lives to protecting one casualty of the turbulent times: the bird known as the black kite.
The Serengeti Rules
Book
Exploring some of the most remote and spectacular places on Earth, five pioneering scientists make surprising discoveries that flip our understanding of nature on its head, and offer new hope for restoring our world.
Вояджер: Дальше планет
Executive Producer
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.
Mass Extinction: Life at the Brink
Executive Producer
It's death on an unimaginable scale, when a majority of Earth's species quickly die out. It's called "mass extinction," and it's happened at least five times before. Cataclysms, such as supervolcanoes or asteroids, are thought to cause these events, but some experts believe a manmade mass extinction could be next. Is our planet in trouble? And if so, is there anything we can do to stop the next catastrophic annihilation? Experts are traveling the world, performing groundbreaking scientific detective work to answer these very questions.
The Making of the Fittest: Natural Selection and Adaptation
Writer
The rock pocket mouse is a living example of Darwin's process of natural selection. Evolution is happening right now everywhere around us, and adaptive changes can occur in a population with remarkable speed. This is essential if you're a mouse living in an environment where a volcanic eruption can reverse selective pressure in nearly an instant. The film features Dr. Michael Nachman, whose work on pocket mice reveals a complete story, from ecosystem to molecules, that demonstrates how random changes in the genome can take many paths to the same adaptation-a colored coat that hides them from predators.
