TINY GIANTS
40 MINUTE FILM
Come on an extraordinary adventure into magical worlds beneath our feet that most of us never see – one where life is lived at an extraordinary intensive pace, where everything we know seems turned on its head. Experience the hidden kingdoms of the Enchanted Forest and the unforgiving desert of the Wild West. From BBC Earth, this is the story of a day in the life of two little heroes: a scorpion mouse and a chipmunk. For each of them this will be a day they never forget. It’s a story of drama, danger and courage, of insight and revelation, a journey to discover and understand a new and fascinating natural history.

Titanosaur explores the process by which scientists gather clues to understand and imagine these gargantuan reptiles – revealing the secrets of their diet, anatomy, remarkable growth and even their behavior. Vivid and scientifically-accurate computer animation brings the prehistoric world of the Titanosaur back to life in this touching and family-friendly celebration of the world’s most colossal plant-eater.

FREE SOLO
FEATURE-LENGTH FILM
The Academy Award and BAFTA winning film FREE SOLO, from award-winning documentary filmmaker E. Chai Vasarhelyi and world-renowned photographer and mountaineer Jimmy Chin, follows free soloist climber Alex Honnold as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream: climbing the face of the world’s most famous rock … the 3,200-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park … without a rope. Hailed by critics as “a visually stunning documentary [that] sets itself apart by intimately probing the psyche of one of the world’s most interesting athletes” and “one of the most arresting documentaries of the year,” FREE SOLO is an edge-of-your-seat thriller and an inspiring portrait of an athlete who challenges both his body and his beliefs on a quest to triumph over the impossible, revealing the personal toll of excellence.

Stunning, photo-realistic imagery re-creates the perilous underwater realm of two young, dolphin-sized marine reptiles called Dolichorhynchops, or Dollies, and follows their incredible journey through waters ruled by some of the most awesome predators ever to prowl the Earth’s oceans.
