Episode 1 • Dec 31, 1969
Land of Extremes
The Arctic, locked in darkness for nearly seven months, springs to life once the sun rises above the horizon. Ideas of migration, hibernation, the food web, habitat change are explored, and we are introduced to some of the Arctic's most magnificent and iconic creatures and its most dramatic landscapes.
Episode 2 • Dec 31, 1969
Devon Island: Land of Ice
Devon Island is the largest uninhabited island in the world. It's so remote and forbidding that when scientists wanted to simulate living conditions on Mars, they used Devon Island to simulate working on the Red Planet.
Episode 3 • Dec 31, 1969
Delta Discoveries
The Western Arctic's mammoth Mackenzie Delta is the second largest in North America after the Mississippi. It is a biological "hotspot", a transition zone between ecosystems - from the familiar boreal forest, across the tree line to the ever-frozen tundra. Here we find strange and mysterious landforms above an immense underbelly of permafrost featuring a phenomenal diversity of microorganisms, and strange creatures that tell a story of an ever changing Arctic. This is the migratory destination - and summer home - to several million birds, fish, animals...and humans.
Episode 4 • Dec 31, 1969
Fall on the Tundra
Nunavik is a pristine wilderness of water, forest, and tundra, and home to the Inuit of Northern Quebec. In the fall, the tundra erupts in all shades of red, orange, yellow and purple. Wildlife and people get ready for the winter. The Ptarmigan spends fall's shortening days eating plants and berries in a hurry. Like all wildlife that winters in Nunavik, it is fattening up for the hardship ahead.
Episode 5 • Dec 31, 1969
Wild Seas
On the north-east coast of Baffin Island, in Canada's Arctic, lies Ninginganiq, a blustery wilderness where only the intrepid travel. The Inuit have lived here for thousands of years navigating around the dangerous sea ice for hunting and fishing in their umiaks and kayaks. As winter nears, one of nature's great spectacles unfolds here, rarely witnessed by humans. Giant bowhead whales gather to feed and socialize. This area is also impacted by El Nino. With climate change, the wild seas of Ninginganiq grow more savage every year.

Cries from Syria

Cries from Syria

CRIES FROM SYRIA is a searing, comprehensive account of a brutal five-year conflict from the inside out, drawing on hundreds of hours of war footage from Syrian activists and citizen journalists, as well as testimony from child protesters, leaders of the revolution, human rights defenders, ordinary citizens, and high-ranking army generals who defected from the government. Their collective stories are a cry for attention and help from a world that little understands their reality or agrees on what to do about it. A documentary by Evgeny Afineevsky, director of the Oscar-nominated film WINTER ON FIRE, CRIES FROM SYRIA premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
