The National Parks Project
In an increasingly urban nation, Canada’s national parks are a treasured escape into extraordinary beauty and rugged wilderness. If the Group of Seven were an introduction to the landscape’s majesty, National Parks Project is the next logical chapter. Fifty-two contemporary artists from across the country, whose talents are as diverse as the parks they set out to explore, used their surroundings as a source of inspiration to blend musical and cinematic skills into collaboratively crafted vignettes. Epic in its ambition to celebrate these locales during Parks Canada’s centennial year, this omnibus film resonates with the knowledge that our unprotected land is more vulnerable than ever. Including films by Zacharius Kunuk, Peter Lynch, Sturla Gunnarsson and John Walker, and music by Sarah Harmer, Sam Roberts, Cadence Weapon and The Besnard Lakes, among many others, National Parks Project is a one-of-a-kind documentary experience.

World Natural Heritage USA: Grand Canyon National Park
World Natural Heritage USA: Grand Canyon National Park
The Grand Canyon is a unique area, painstakingly carved into stone by one single river over a period of millions of years. Inch by inch. The result is a canyon of indescribable and unique beauty. A canyon that overcomes some 4000 metres from the summit of its highest elevation, to the banks of the Colorado, thereby embracing five climate zones.This is also why the Grand Canyon can boast an unrivalled density of flora and fauna. Desert and mountain dwellers live here in the immediate vicinity, sharing a unique biosphere.Nowhere else can the geological era be so perfectly determined by means of the rock formations adjacent to the ancient paths, that lead from the edge of the canyon to the riverbanks of the Colorado.2 billion years of Earth’s history made comprehensible. For this reason alone, the Grand Canyon is rightfully a World Natural Heritage Site worthy of protection and an ideal symbiosis of economy and ecology.

Supervolcano: Yellowstone's Fury
Supervolcano: Yellowstone's Fury
For over a century, tens of millions of visitors have marveled at the natural beauty of Yellowstone National Park. But, beneath all this beauty lurks a beast. Yellowstone sits directly above one of the largest volcanic systems on Earth. For the past two million years, this supervolcano has erupted roughly every 600,000 years. The last major eruption occurred 640,000 years ago. So, is it overdue for another eruption? There have been disturbing signals... Supervolcano: Yellowstone's Fury examines the cataclysmic effect an eruption would have on the world. It would be the largest natural disaster in recorded history. NYU Earth Scientist Michael Rampino warns, "An eruption like Yellowstone could trigger the end of civilization as we know it." For experts, the question is not if there will be another eruption, but when. University of Toronto geologist John Westgate agrees: "There will be a very large-scale supervolcanic eruption from Yellowstone. That's a fact."

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Sets the standard for a wildlife documentary. Highly educational with stunning photography and well written narration. I visited Yellowstone in 1995 and wish that I had been able to see this series before my visit. Viewing this series should be mandatory for all aspiring wildlife documentary producers. Rather bizarrely, in 2017 the BBC decided to produce a new three part documentary, again based on the seasons, but this time with on-screen 'presenters'. The result is awful, with lingering shots of presenters walking up hills, speaking as if we are all morons. Why they decided to do it, I've no idea. It's like trying to replace Champagne with Cider. I have this original series on DVD. I won't be buying the 2017 version.

This documentary proved to be one of the best docu-films ever viewed by me. But it's a production from BBC, so there's no surprise here. The narrator(s) also set an example of how a narration to a film should be. The sound tracks are right on the track to accommodate every scene. The cinematography of it only proved how good these BBC camera guys are on top in this trade. Every scene in this film is like a painting, so beautiful and so breath-taking.I could never imagine how viewers could give this film below 7, and those who gave 1 to 5 of it should have their eyes and brains checked; obviously CAT scan is needed, besides the visual and hearing problems. What you guys need? Because you rarely see tourists, SUV and RV in this Yellow Stone? What's wrong with you guys?

............................................................from Pasto,Colombia...Via: L.A. CA., CALI, COLOMBIA and ORLANDO, FL This documentary worked a spell on me and made two and a half hours go by in a brilliant flash of glorious natural splendor! The BBC did an incredible job at filming and presenting the seasonal wonders and intricacies of what is, perhaps, the most beautiful, awe-inspiring national park on earth.The BBC really managed to breath life into YELLOWSTONE, bestowing it with a cyclical life all its own! The narration, by British actor Colin Firth, both in delivery and content, is heartfelt, crisp and superb. The cinematography is nothing short of breathtaking, absolutely jaw-dropping, or any other accolade you prefer to use, with a truly remarkable color palate...and that was viewing an up-converted, standard DVD, not the Blu-Ray version! If you have a Blu-Ray option, you MUST be sure to use it. Towards the end of the Documentary, Firth explains, step by step, how the reintroduction of wolves into the Yellowstone ecosystem has restored the park to an ecological balance reminiscent of the early 20th century. Thusly offering a crucial real-life example of just how fragile an ecosystem can be when it is tampered with by man! YELLOWSTONE is one of the most dazzling, enthralling and interesting Nature documentaries I have ever seen in my entire life! Rest assured it will be added to my DVD collection. If you are a Nature lover, this is a world-class must see! 10 Autumn leaves, multi-hued, Stars!.....ENJOY/DISFRUTELA!Any comments, questions or observations, in English or Español, are most welcome!

BBC nature documentaries are always worth watching as the images captured are quite remarkable. This BBC series, which consists of 3 episodes, is divided into winter, summer, and autumn. The series examines wildlife at Yellowstone National Park, which is the world's first national park and situated mainly in Wyoming, America. The three episode series focuses primarily on wolves, elk, pronghorns, beavers, trees, and bison as well as many other wildlife. Overall, Yellowstone is an amazing documentary. The images shot were captivating and inspirational. It's unbelievable how some scenes were shot as they were highly detailed and visually striking. One other factor worth mentioning is the narration. The script is written beautifully and merges perfectly with the imagery. I look forward to the next BBC documentary.
