Coming in December: Dinosaurs of Antarctica
The first original large format dinosaur film in over a decade, Dinosaurs of Antarctica is an epic chronicle of a prehistoric world now lost to ice.

From glaciers to Glacialisaurus, the film introduces audiences to the amazing and bizarre prehistoric creatures that inhabited Antarctic forests and swamps hundreds of millions of years ago—and the scientists on a quest to uncover them. 

Traveling through deep time, Dinosaurs of Antarctica explores the causes and repercussions of a changing climate, investigating the end of Earth’s last ice age and seeking clues to the future as we face human-triggered warming today.
Now Showing: Into America's Wild
Narrated by Academy Award® winner Morgan Freeman and directed by Academy Award nominee Greg MacGillivray, Into America’s Wild is a visually stunning cross-country adventure into the hidden wonders of the natural world.

A non-stop ride via kayak, bike, train, hot air balloon, zipline and more, Into America’s Wild explores some of the most beautiful but little-known landscapes of North America.

As they wind their way through the scenic byways, ancient homelands, secret gems and hidden trails of America, viewers will discover the special human connection we all share with the natural world.
