NY Times Critics' Pick. Academy Award-winning Passion Pictures presents one of the most important but untold science stories of our time, a tale with profound implications for the fate of life on our planet. Beginning in the 1960s, a small band of young scientists headed into the wilderness, driven by an insatiable curiosity about how nature works. Immersed in some of the most remote and spectacular places on Earth - from the majestic Serengeti to the Amazon jungle; from the Arctic Ocean to Pacific tide pools - they discovered a single set of rules that govern all life. Now in the twilight of their eminent careers, these five unsung heroes of modern ecology share the stories of their adventures, reveal how their pioneering work flipped our view of nature on its head, and give us a chance to reimagine the world as it could and should be.
"Unlike most similarly-themed pictures, one which permits a chink of light into the traditionally bleak narrative of man's impact on the land." - Screen International
"Celebrates not only the diversity and beauty of the natural world but also recognizes the transformative power of curiosity and knowledge." - Los Angeles Times.
"The great accomplishment of 'The Serengeti Rules' is that it directs the viewer to see beauty in the way an ecologist might." - New York Times
"Offers a chance to spend time with engaging people who've enriched our understanding of complex ecosystems, and who assure us that much of what we've done to the planet is reversible — provided we take action before the keystone species in question are still around to be saved." - Hollywood Reporter
"An absolutely riveting documentary about biodiversity and the need for humanity--its gravest threat--to reverse its course and preserve it." - Counterpunch
