Documentary
This two-part documentary depicts an incredible visual range, from snow storms in the mountains of the north to remote islands in the glistening Mediterranean: contrasts of untamed nature not found anywhere else in Europe. Greece is unique. Nowhere else are such different temperature zones found side by side, extending from ice-age lakes to dense primeval forests and barren, desert-like areas. Nowhere else is the wildlife so divergent and full of contrasts, with creatures seldom found in their natural habitats anywhere else in Europe; here they have developed special strategies and behavior in order to survive.

Dalmatian pelicans fly north to their high altitude breeding grounds on Lake Prespa. Beneath them a brown bear mother and cubs enjoy the springtime in the forests of the Pindos mountains. The 300-meter cliffs of the world famous Meteora monasteries shelter Greece’s last Egyptian vulture breeding pair.
