A secret world rich in wildlife is hidden away inside an ancient volcanic crater in Kenya's rift valley. Mighty geysers of steaming water, boiled underground by highly sulphuric volcanic activity, gush to the surface of the valley floor. The poisonous, highly alkaline water flows from the geysers into a lake called 'Bogaria', which stretches the length of the ancient caldera. This is one of the most hostile lakes in the world. Two million flamingos live around these caustic waters, while a penetratingly hot equatorial sun beats overhead. Predators abound on the shores of the poisonous lake, tempted by an abundance of prey. Unlikely predators partake: hungry baboons and opportunistic marabou storks ravage the birds. Our story follows a family of African fish eagles, which specializes in feeding on flamingo flesh at this staggeringly beautiful, yet utterly savage, 'Gate of Hell'.

ELEPHANT POWER travels deep into the heart of forbidden Burma to document, for the first time, the lives of wild Asian elephants. Some 10,000 elephants, nearly one-third of all Asian elephants, survive in the forests of Burma, but little is known about these animals. Even today, much of the scientific literature still cites observations made centuries ago, at a time when Asian elephants numbered hundreds of thousands. This film will follow a single herd over the course of a year. Along the way, we learn how the elephants face daily peril from farmers and a logging industry dependent on elephant labor to harvest Burma's remaining forests.

An alien invader runs rampant through the borderlands of South East Arizona, devouring anything that crosses its path and wiping out entire populations of local residents. In its relentless pursuit of prey it will eat its own kind to satisfy its hunger. This is not a monster, but the North American Bullfrog, which is a voracious carnivore with an insatiable appetite. It was introduced to the regions west of the Rocky Mountains in the early 1900's. Today, with few natural enemies the bullfrog has begun to overtake its fragile ecosystem. This is contributing to the decline of native species of wildlife in Arizona, which includes the Leopard frog and the rare Mexican Garter Snake. Efforts to contain this animal have yet to stop it. FEARSOME FROGS joins herpetologist Cecil Schwalbe on the frontlines of the struggle to protect Arizona's native wildlife and reveals the bullfrog's hunting prowess that threatens the survival of its riparian neighbors.

Roar: One Man's Pride tells the story of filmmaker Tim Liversedge as he sets out to make the program of his dreams - 'Roar' - a Large Format/IMAX film that documents the amazing wildlife in Southern Botswana, where the lush mosaic of the Okavango Delta gives way to the unforgiving plains of the Kalahari. He first came to this part of the world as a boy. Now, 40 years later, he returns with his wife, taking extraordinary personal risks in order to produce this giant screen spectacle. Focusing on an old lion king, his two wives and their domain surrounding a rare waterhole, Liversedge braves fierce heat and blinding dust storms - and the animals he loves - to bring us some of the most stunning wildlife images ever seen.
