* Water Life (2010) *** Who made this? Check video to see?

Water Life Through spectacular photography and featuring an award winning soundtrack, Water Life captures extraordinary locations and intimate animal behaviour never before seen on film. Two years in the making, this groundbreaking series takes viewers on an unprecedented visual journey to aquatic ecosystems on five continents to reveal how water shapes and sculpts the landscape and provides food and refuge for an astonishing array of species. From the biggest whales to the most insignificant mosquitoes, every living being depends on the water and is linked to this liquid in a special way for their survival. But, water is not just there for animal species, it also makes possible vast landscapes such as caverns, sea beds, glaciers and valleys. Each chapter of Water life explores a different ecosystem as we discover the characteristics of water that make life possible on the planet, and the different ways that the animals and plants have adapted to this environment. Follow the water in all of its manifestations, discovering the things that make it so fundamental to life, and uncover a fascinating and gripping world. From the fountains near our houses to the vast sea depths or the fast flowing rivers, it is close to the water that we find the most wild and diverse nature. Thanks to this incredible documentary series, we will learn some of the secrets that make water the real pool of life. If you enjoyed the BBC's "The Blue Planet", than I would strongly recommend you investigate Water Life which is equally as good. From exceptional narration to some wonderful photography that truly enhances the entire experience. This is a professional and well made documentary from start to finish and rarely skips a heart bit as we see all the amazing links to water and the life it has spawned.

And with 70% of the rivers' water supporting agriculture, the river already runs dry before it reaches its natural end at the Gulf of California. Unless action is taken, the river will continue its retreat - a potentially catastrophic scenario for the millions who depend on it. We meet Jeff.

* Congo - The Grand Inga Project (2012)

INGA:  They are the world's biggest rapids, 1.6 million cubic feet of water per second, thundering down the final pitch of the mighty Congo River.  They are twice as steep and 100 times the average volume of those found on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon.  Explorers have tried to conquer these rapids for generations, but none have succeeded.  "It would be insanity in a successor," wrote famed explorer Henry Morton Stanley in 1877, after his right-hand man drowned. "There's nothing shameful in portaging," declared Col. John Blashford-Snell during his multinational team's highly publicized attempt in 1974.  And popular French TV Adventurer Philippe De Dieuleveult never had the chance to comment, as the entire team who attempted the rapids with him, mysteriously vanished in 1985.  The Inga rapids have remained the "the choking stone of navigation" up or down the Congo River for centuries!

After years of planning and research, kayaking icon Steve Fisher first visited the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2007, to initiate his attempt.  He and his logistical team of Pete Meredith and Boston Ndoole, quickly encountered the insurmountable obstacles that come with the maddening politics of a broken country, and it wasn't until 2011 that the team finally got the go-ahead to mount their expedition.  For this mission, Fisher handpicked an elite team of top paddlers including Tyler Bradt of Missoula, Montana; Benny Marr of Ottawa, Canada; and Rush Sturges from Forks of Salmon, California.

"The Grand Inga Project" is the riveting 80-minute documentary that follows the expedition as the team struggles to navigate complicated logistical challenges, and then the historic first descent of a 50-mile section of the Congo River.  No effort is spared in telling the story of what really happens when you decide to take on the deadliest rapids on earth.  "This is a river like no other," recalls Fisher, who's logged dozens of major first descents, "We may have survived, but somehow we feel more humbled than proud."
