Meet asteroid scientists and discover the cutting-edge tools and techniques they use to detect, track and study asteroids. Learn about the impressive technology that may one day protect our planet and find out why science is the only thing that can stop a fatal asteroid strike. Narrated by Star Wars star, Daisy Ridley, this documentary features actual footage and stunning simulations.

• EVEREST — A dramatic, true account of dizzying achievement, Everest follows the expedition of four climbers on their journey to the summit of Everest, just days after the infamous 1996 tragedy in which eight climbers lost their lives in a deadly storm, a story chronicled in Jon Krakauer’s best-selling book, Into Thin Air.

• GREAT BEAR RAINFOREST — Journey to a land of grizzlies, coastal wolves, sea otters and the all-white spirit bear — the rarest bear on earth — in the film, Great Bear Rainforest. Hidden from the outside world, the Great Bear Rainforest is one of the wildest places left on earth.

• HIDDEN PACIFIC — Hidden Pacific profiles some of the Pacific Ocean's most beautiful islands and marine national monuments. The film explores the storied histories of Palmyra, Midway and other atolls through science and human stories.

• INTO NATURE'S WILD — Step off the beaten path and connect to your inner trailblazer in this cross-country journey to some of the most beautiful but little-known landscapes of North America.

• WINGS OVER WATER — Narrated by Michael Keaton, Wings Over Water takes you deep into the prairie wetlands. A largely unknown area of North America that millions of birds and animals call home. A place we need to protect.
