Zet invites Cipo and Mia to board his Flying Cloud, and together they embark on an unforgettable adventure to discover the beautiful country.Director: Francesco Colombo STORIES FROM THE BLUE: SAVING KOHOLĀSaving Koholā is a short documentary that offers a rare and intimate look at the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary team who monitors and disentangles humpback whales that migrate to these waters to mate and give birth. Entanglement in marine debris remains a major global threat to marine mammals, often leading to injury, starvation, or death. This film documents the high-stakes work of responding to these incidents, from tracking, approaching, and disentangling whales from dangerous debris.Director: Nick Zachar LIGHT IN THE DARKThe deep ocean begins where the sunlight ends. It is dark, cold, and inhospitable to humans, yet essential to all life on Earth. The Ocean is our planet’s life support system — regulating the climate, feeding millions, and supplying half of the oxygen that makes this planet habitable. Experience the wonder of a blue planet!Director: Alex Ingle SHIMMERCast away on a desolate beach, Ricardo toils tirelessly on a massive lighthouse that he believes holds the key to his rescue, neglecting his daughter whose own plans might derail her father’s dreams.Director: Andrés Palma MY OTTER DAYIn this beautifully shot and captivating documentary, wildlife filmmaker Sugandhi Gadadhar explores the playful and resilient lives of otters in one of India’s most rapidly changing waterways. Set in the lush wetlands and tranquil waters of the Cauvery river, the film reveals a rare view of Otter family life, their survival strategies, and interactions with other species. But as pollution and destructive dynamite fishing threatens the delicate balance of their habitat, the otters, and the humans whose livelihoods also depend on the river, are often in conflict.

Yet, the source of the Lake is freshwater! It comes from high up in the snowpack of the Rockies where mountain lions raise their cubs, and Olympic skiers hone their skills on the greatest snow on Earth, flowing into rivers and streams past aspen trees that form the world’s largest living organism, and down to the basin below where grebes dance on water in a wildlife refuge that supports millions of birds, and onwards into the Lake and its islands, where herds of pronghorn and bison roam.Director: Tyler Mifflin
