Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short, "Dolphins" takes you from the dazzling coral reefs of the Bahamas to the wind-swept seas of Patagonia. Narrated by Pierce Brosnan with music by Sting, this film offers a fascinating new perspective on the lives of dolphins and their remarkable intelligence. Go under the water’s surface for a romp with inquisitive Atlantic spotted dolphins, acrobatic dusky dolphins and the familiar bottlenose dolphin. Follow marine biologists as they research the communication of wild dolphins with innovative scientific methods.
Produced in association with National Wildlife Federation with major funding provided by National Science Foundation and the Museum Film Network, "Dolphins" will bring you up close to these beloved animals.
Narrated by two-time Golden Globe nominee Ewan McGregor, "Humpback Whales" is an extraordinary journey into the mysterious world of one of nature’s most awe-inspiring marine mammals. Set in the spectacular waters of Alaska, Hawaii and Tonga, this ocean adventure offers audiences an up-close look at how these whales communicate, sing, feed, play and take care of their young. Found in every ocean on earth, humpbacks were nearly driven to extinction 50 years ago, but today are making a slow but remarkable recovery. Join a team of researchers as they unlock the secrets of the humpback and find out why humpbacks are the most acrobatic of all whales, why they sing their haunting songs, and why these intelligent, 55-foot, 50-ton animals migrate up to 10,000 miles round-trip every year.
