Narrated by Academy Award-winning and Kenyan-raised actress Lupita Nyong'o, “My Africa,” transports viewers to the untamed rangelands of Northern Kenya, where a community is reknitting the bonds that have long enabled people and wildlife to coexist. The story follows the journey of a young Samburu woman named Naltwasha Leripe as she takes viewers through her community’s daily life, tending livestock, digging “singing” wells deep into dry riverbanks and rescuing a baby elephant orphaned by a poacher’s gun.

Greenland’s glaciers are melting faster and faster. To understand why, and what this might mean for the rest of the world, FRONTLINE and NOVA —two of PBS’s flagship series based at WGBH —teamed up with Emblematic Group, X-Rez Studio and Realtra to bring this story to life as never before.
Greenland Melting provides a rare, up-close view of icy Arctic scenery that’s disappearing faster than predicted. The team gained unique access to NASA scientists as they conducted groundbreaking research into a transforming landscape with ramifications for the entire world.

Everest VR: The Movie Experience
Walk alongside two of the planet’s best climbers as they attempt to summit Mt. Everest and neighboring Mt. Lhotse without supplemental oxygen. Travel with them through Everest’s grueling, oxygen-depleted “death zone” to experience elation at the awe-inspiring vistas at the summit - and glimpse danger and fear as the climbers experience the raw power of an avalanche. Only 175 people have climbed Everest without supplementary oxygen – fewer than have reached space. Do you have what it takes to reach the top?
