Through the startling reality captured by IMAX film technology, this video takes you on a journey to the most remote locations on the Hawaiian islands. Fiery volcanic eruptions and rivers of molten lava bring the formation of the islands to life. Descend 4,000 feet beneath the surface to witness the birth of Loihi, Hawaii's newest island. Journey with a Hawaiian naturalist in a kayak expedition along the breathtaking Molokai coast to save the rare Alula plant clinging to the highest seacliffs in the world. The adventure continues, taking you to the very edge of Maui's 10,000-foot-high Haleakala Crater where the spectacular Silversword plant blooms once in a decade, then dies. You will experience the beauty and wonder of Hawaii as never before in this captivating presentation.

From the earliest voyages that mapped the Earth to today's launches into space, The Discoverers reverberates with the passion to explore our universe. Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning book by Dr. Daniel J. Boorstin, The Discoverers examines our desire to expand the boundaries of knowledge. The stories presented in this film span space and time, taking us around the world to participate in the act of discovery. Stand alongside Sir Isaac Newton in his British lab; then travel to the present to observe Dr. Louis Herman working with his very cerebral dolphins in Hawaii. Ever wonder how did they do that? The Making of 'The Discoverers' puts you behind the camera and provides further insights into the world of science and discovery. Learn more about the research and effort that went into recreating the inspiring historical events presented in The Discoverers. Shot using high definition television cameras, The Making of 'The Discoverers' is a fascinating retrospective on a movie that made history.

"The green contract" is an unspoken pact for symbiosis on earth. This is the most basic and essential of all natural laws. It is a law that ensures all things which feed off of plants, will then contribute to the regeneration of them through adapted survival methods. Just as some flowers produce tasty nectar to attract birds, insects, and even some small mammals in order to spread their pollen, other plants adapted nutrient rich and tasty vegetables and fruits to spread their seed.
The first and only species to break the green contract was the human. We use products which the earth is incapable of reincorporating into itself healthily in a manner which is beneficial to all living things. We create waste and overpopulate at overwhelming rates. We over consume and we do so in a way which makes it entirely impossible to sustain that which we use.
The entire earth was once an orb of boiling and bubbling lava. Oxygen bubbles formed in that lava and were released into the air creating what we now know as our atmosphere. Eventually that oxygen created a layer of ozone which shielded the earth from the sun's intensely hot rays. The lava was cooled as a result of this ozone layer and began to form masses of land and water. The first forms of life existed in these masses of water as bacteria. Those bacteria made it possible for barnacles to form and eventually to evolve into plants on land. Other organisms also emerged from this, insects and fish, then later birds and reptiles. Over the process of hundreds of millions of years, a true abomination of a species evolved, the human species. The human burned these fossil fuels buried deep within our earth's crust and layers and created once again a carbon rich environment. In unnatural processes the humans rape the earth of its resources and oil and use them to pollute, destroying the layer of ozone that the earth fought so hard to establish. We set up factory farms for cows where rainforests once stood, to slake our greedy and
