PLANETARY is a provocative and breathtaking wakeup call – a cross continental, cinematic journey, that explores our cosmic origins and our future as a species. It is a poetic and humbling reminder that now is the time to shift our perspective.

An intimate glimpse at North America’s largest salamander, the Eastern Hellbender, an ancient creature that lives as much in myth as in reality…. and in many waters, myths are all that remain of these stream-dwelling sentinels.

Shark Migration

Carol McGrath, 5 minutes, 2014

When you swim in the warm ocean waters down south you are probably sharing the water with some big predators…like sharks. But maybe you assume there aren’t that many or that they don’t come too close to shore. If that is the case then you’d be shocked to find out that actually every year thousands of black tipped sharks appear off the coast of Florida. It’s become the mission of shark expert Stephen Kajiura to find out why so many are swimming in these waters and what is attracting them to the area. In this story we fly out with Stephen over the thousands of sharks and take a boat out to capture some so he can get a better picture of what draws them to the area in such huge numbers.
