‘Earth Under Water’ looks at the effects of sea level rise on our civilization as predicted for the next few centuries. The film explains some of the science behind the prediction of sea level rise, and it shows what will happen if sea levels rise with increasing speed. After the loss of exposed coastal cities like Miami and New Orleans, humans fight back through hyper engineering and the construction of vast dams near San Francisco and Gibraltar. As sea level rise gets out of control after the 23rd century, some of our most important cities are flooded. But even then, humans try to adapt, for example through the construction of floating cities around cities like New York.

The forest Frontline staff are the last lifeline for conservation in India. Protecting 7% of the world’s biodiversity amidst a population of 1.2 billion is always a challenge. With their job being 24/7 it’s only their passion and commitment that make them show up every day. ‘Heroes Of The Wild Frontiers’ salutes these brave soldiers and shows us a tapestry of ecosystems from the Trans-Himalayan cold deserts to the deep sea coral systems, from steaming mangroves to sprawling grasslands, along with showcasing the rare Indian wildlife.
‘The Edge of Existence’ tells the story of human/wildlife conflict in the Western Corridor of the Serengeti, Africa. Human-wildlife conflict is a global issue that has reached crisis levels, threatening the survival of both humans and wild animals. There are communities living alongside wildlife in some of the last remaining wilderness areas on earth. But these wilderness areas have started to disappear due to expanding human development, deforestation, and depletion of natural resources, which has left humans and wildlife living in closer proximity than ever before. The situation is dire and if it is not addressed urgently, it will have a catastrophic effect on the environment and on the communities that live alongside these wild animals. See through the eyes of the people who live in the Serengeti, and the daily challenges they face as they struggle to co-exist with Africa’s Wildlife.
