Follow the A:shiwi rain priests and medicine men as this sacred migration down the Colorado river is documented on film for the first time – from the pueblo at Halona Idiwana’a to shrines and ancient settlements\, through canyon walls carved by the petroglyphs of the ancestors.

The wolf was born in NE Oregon and in 2011 left his pack and dispersed South to find new territory. He became the first known wolf in California in nearly 90 years\, and he is still out there… Follow six adventurers as they retrace the route taken by a GPS-collared Oregon wolf. Their mission is to explore human-wolf coexistence and meet the people along Wolf OR-7’s route who now find themselves in wolf country. \nYou’ll also visit a remote region in Madagascar\, where three ecosystems — forests\, lakes and mangroves — are home to an abundance of rare and threatened species\, including the Madagascar Fish Eagle. \nRegister for Day Two here.
