today. Although they dominate their ecosystems, giant animals are often more vulnerable than others. They are susceptible
to climate change, loss of habitat, shortages of food and competitors invading their territory. In fact, today’s last giants – the
descendants of those behemoths – are all in decline. Some of them are even threatened with imminent extinction.
The series looks back on the evolutionary history of eight giant prehistoric animals and their eight modern descendants.
The first two episodes examine four particularly amazing animals, seeking to explain why they became so huge and why
they later disappeared. We join four experts as they study those ancient species.
The four following episodes turn to today’s giants, exploring their evolutionary history and past to see if their ancestors
suffered from their great size. We discover their story with the help of the finest biologists and paleontologists specializing
in these creatures.
A dynamic, entertaining scientific approach with an innovative concept: an interaction between
scientists and animals of the past recreated in virtual reality.
An account based on new discoveries about the evolution and extinction of some of the largest
mammals to have populated our planet.
A riveting journey offering insights into the evolution of today’s giant animals and the Earth.
More than 20 scientists from all over the world interviewed: biologists, paleontologists.

Every garden is home to thousands of creatures,
with hundreds of tiny dramas playing out as part of
a wider story: the tale of an ecosystem shaped by
the imagination of a creator, the gardener, whose
work produces a living, constantly evolving tableau.
As an artist, they must adapt to the vagaries of the
weather and respect natural cycles. Their human
hand steers rather than controls this creation to
achieve a subtle, shifting balance between fan-
tasy and reality, between an ideal and what nature
allows.
This film provides unique insights into a stunning
wild diversity unrealized by many gardeners, yet
one that exists just outside their door.

top dignitaries of the Third Reich, including Goering.
Indeed, during World War II, Keller pulled off one of

intelligence, he listened in and recorded all the state
secrets passing down the vast stretches of under-
ground telephone cable between Paris and Berlin.

The story of coffee, seen as the black gold of

In February 1708, two frigates sailed to Yemen
from the French port of Saint-Malo. One of King
Louis XIV’s privateers, Mr. de la Merveille, led the
expedition. His destination was Mocha, the main
trading post for coffee, which was a precious, rare
product at the time. In the 18th century, Yemen was
the only country in the world to grow it. The Dutch
East India Company had a coffee trading monopoly
in Europe, but the French wanted their share of the
highly lucrative market and launched a naval war
