Episodes:

Ep. 1: Dangerous Waters (2023-04-18)

Whether right whales, penguins or sea lions - for the birth of their young, many marine creatures are drawn to Argentina's nearly 5,000 kilometer coastline. From their very first breath, it's all about one thing for the little ones: survival. Orcas hunt for young sea lions with a special technique and seagulls fly merciless aerial attacks on baby whales.
Ep. 2: Land of Survivors (2023-04-19)

In Argentina's breathtaking, yet imposing wilderness, every day is a fight for survival. The terrain is rugged and parched. The air is thin. The weather can change in an instant. And then there are the predators. A female puma stalks a valley in search of guanaco, while a tarantula defends itself against a hungry armadillo. Foxes will scavenge what they can…until one of the world’s largest vultures shows up. All the while, in the background, glaciers greedily hold on to the freshwater these animals so desperately need.
Ep. 3: Land of Water (2023-04-19)

Water shapes northern Argentina, creating paradises for unique wildlife. Whether it's sooty swifts swooping through waterfall floodwaters, frogs glowing in the dark, cute coati families in the undergrowth, or mighty anacondas on the prowl. Argentina's wetlands hold many wonders. In magnificent images, the film celebrates Argentina's water-rich north as a hotspot of biodiversity and shows how drought and fires threaten the fragile ecosystem.
