America's most-threatened creatures are captured in this poignant and unforgettable portrait of animals losing their struggles with man. Join photographers Susan Middleton and David Liitschwager on their quest from the California Sierra to the deep South, and from the woods of North Carolina to the Pacific's shores. Along the way they encounter red wolves, bald eagle chicks, golden trout, and a camera-shy wild ferret. Don't Say Goodbye! captures the beauty of these creatures, as well as the plea to keep their homes and lives.

The giant squid (genus Architeuthis) seems like a creature from mythology--the world's largest invertebrate (up to 60 feet long), the largest eyes in the animal kingdom, a highly developed brain, a voracious predator. In works of fiction, they are a ferocious enemy of man. But the giant squid is real. Yet all we know about them comes from carcasses washed up on shore or caught in fishermen's nets; Architeuthis has never been seen alive. This documentary looks at the scientific efforts to find a live specimen in nature, focusing on Dr. Clyde Roper's project to attach a "Crittercam" camera to a sperm whale (which feeds on giant squid) in hopes that the whale will lead us to the elusive deep-sea giant squid.
