Ocean Paradise
Ocean Paradise, narrated by Academy Award®-nominated actress Diane Lane, takes viewers to the far reaches of the Pacific Ocean to explore some of the most remote and protected marine environments on Earth. Palmyra Atoll, Midway, and Rose Atoll are vibrant ecosystems teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, largely untouched by human development.
Through stunning cinematography and compelling stories, the film reveals how these marine national monuments play a vital role in protecting biodiversity and combating climate change. Scientists are learning from these places how nature thrives when left alone—and how that knowledge can help shape a more sustainable future.
The runtime is approximately 25 minutes.
Unseen Universe
For millions of years, our view of the heavens has been limited by our eyes, allowing us to only see a narrow band of electromagnetic radiation we call visible light. For the first time ever, in the greatest breakthrough since the invention of the telescope, we now have the technology to capture the Universe over an amazing width of the spectrum and beyond. We can even interlink telescopes around the world to capture data on a global scale.
Made in association with ESO and the Houston Museum of Natural Science, Unseen Universe provides a stunning visual treat as we explore the latest splendors of the heavens with a stirring score performed by the Utah Film Orchestra. It is an uplifting look at the new era of astronomy and what has yet to come.
Unseen Universe makes what was once thought to be unseeable, seeable.
The runtime is approximately 30 minutes.
