About The Film

BE SWEPT AWAY ON AN EPIC JOURNEY ACROSS THE WORLD’S LARGEST CONTINENT WHOSE EXTREME LANDSCAPES HAVE PUSHED WILDLIFE TO THE LIMIT!

Atop the world’s tallest peaks of the Himalayas, get an intimate look at elusive Snow Leopards and Tiger moms in Nepal raising their young. Witness a Tibetan Fox ‘hide-and-seek hunting’ amongst yaks on an ancient plateau, catch glimpses of the secretive red panda in its remote forest stronghold, meet the remarkable long-eared jumping Jerboa in the harsh Gobi Desert, and fly alongside beautiful songbirds feeding on “sapcicles” in northern Japan. In the world’s richest coral seas of the Pacific, discover the cute-yet-deadly Sea Bunny and be immersed in an unbelievable shark feeding frenzy, that’s never been filmed before. Each story reveals the incredible ways in which wildlife has adapted to thrive in these challenging habitats.

Produced by the world-renowned wildlife storytellers at the BBC Studios Natural History Unit, Wild Asia - Life at Extremes is an immersive giant screen experience for all ages featuring amazing biodiversity, never-seen-before animals and heartwarming behaviours across spectacular landscapes and mesmerizing seas.
