America's National Parks: Yosemite

Oliver Goetzl | US | 44

The audience will experience North America's natural wonders with its iconic wildlife as you have never seen them before. Strong story telling let the audience discover the fascinating interactions in wild habitats they thought they were familiar with.

Yosemite National Park is a land of superlatives. Where else can you find granite cliffs 900 meters high and giant sequoias well over 1000 years old? Beneath these towering heights live animals that make Yosemite their home: bobcats, black bears, coyotes, golden eagles, and more. Follow Yosemite's inhabitants throughout the seasons in a unique portrait of this legendary park.
