Written in Stone

WRITTEN IN STONE is the story of northwestern Canada’s Mount Todagin. It’s known as a “Serengeti in the sky” and yet it was once the ocean’s floor. This ancient seabed vaulted into the sky upon the shoulders of warring mountain ranges. Here on this alpine plateau mowed close by relentless winds, life subsists on the narrowest of margins. But this seemingly inhospitable landscape is home to an exotic species of mountain sheep and the Native peoples who have used this mountain for millennia. This documentary explores how the very minerals that attract the sheep and the indigenous people may also cause them to abandon Mount Todagin…forever.

Uptown Otters

In Singapore, smooth-coated otters have forged a unique urban lifestyle, living side-by-side with their human neighbours. And the best part? They rule this uptown world. Each family is helmed by a matriarch, and they live and die by two rules: only the alpha female is allowed to reproduce, and intruders are not welcome. The Bay Family currently occupies prime territory – Marina Bay. Meanwhile, the Townies, Nomads, and Mangrove Family have built their own empires around the island. These otters peacefully coexist – as long as they remain in their own territory, under their queen. But peace breeds restlessness. As the Bay Family settles into their home, the other clans are starting to stir, each wanting a piece of this otter paradise…
