Legendary wildlife filmmaker Wolfgang Bayer embarks on what he believes will be his final film project, taking his entire family as crew on one last globe-spanning adventure: an epic in which he offers a global vision of wildlife featuring some of the Earth's most fascinating species. Directed and narrated by Tristan, Wolfgang's burgeoning cinematographer son, the story is as much about the father's sometimes disturbing obsession with filming animals in the far reaches, as it is about the son's similar but different desire to tell his own visual story. A startlingly beautiful walk on the wild side, with an uniquely personal vibe. 12:30 - 1:30 PM
