The Desert Sea (2016 - 2016)
Documentary
The Desert Sea is an Ultra High Definition 2 part series that centers on North America's diverse Sonoran Desert. The first hour explores why the Sonoran is the wettest and most diverse desert in the Americas due to its unique proximity to the Gulf of California and the great Pacific Ocean - a coastal desert next to an extraordinary rich marine environment of sea lions, dolphins and even blue whales. The second hour focuses on the abundant and diverse creatures that have adapted to desert life in this unique environment: from big cats, giant hares and killer insects, to extraordinary reptiles and even a bird that can run at high speeds.

Going To Extremes
In this hour we explore why the Sonoran is the wettest and most diverse desert in the Americas due to its unique proximity to the Sea of Cortez and the great Pacific Ocean - a coastal desert next to an extraordinary rich marine environment of sea lions, dolphins and even blue whales. We'll see how the sea creates summer monsoons that replenish the diverse wildlife and flora. The Sonoran is also home to the biggest cacti in North America - a saguaro weighs several tons and which can live for 2 centuries.
