Big Cats 24/7
Season Two sees the return of a familiar cast of human and big cat characters. The expert team of cinematographers — Gordon Buchanan, Anna Dimitriadis, Brad Bestelink, Sets Nthomiwa, Rea Schulte to Brinke, Greg Hartman and Tristen Woodward — live and work together from the Natural History Film Unit, Botswana’s remote film camp in the heart of big cat territory. Together, they follow the twists and turns in the lives of key, named big cats, introduced in Season One. Across five vital months, cats — and humans — battle punishing seasonal change, from flood to extreme drought. Over brutal terrain, in searing temperatures and through day and night, the team keeps its cameras rolling 24/7 to capture unparalleled, unseen animal behavior. State-of-the-art thermal cameras, and the latest in drone technology, mean the team can film the cats from the ground, the air and, uniquely, through the night, revealing yet more brand-new insights into their lives.

More about this documentary:
From an award-winning filmmaking team, MAKE A CIRCLE follows a group of child care providers who are determined to change how society values the education of its youngest citizens. With a mix of humor, outrage, and passion, MAKE A CIRCLE captures the unfolding stories of Patricia, a leader of a new union for child care providers, as she fights on behalf of a largely immigrant workforce; Charlotte, another union member who tirelessly lifts up the low-income families in her care; and Anne, the director of a large preschool, who finds novel ways to value and support her teachers when jobs at Starbucks are offering higher pay. Within their stories are interludes that offer a cinematic glimpse into the unique, imaginative world of the young children in their care. The film culminates as thousands of child care union members march on their state capitol demanding better working conditions, just as their contract is set to expire. Weaving together the magic they create in the classroom, the struggles they endure at home, and their unwavering activism for their profession, MAKE A CIRCLE is a moving portrait of life as an early childhood educator and a promising blueprint for fixing our broken child care system.
