CONWAY — The University of Central Arkansas Public Appearances presents “The Making of Our Planet: Frozen Worlds” on Thursday, April 3, at 7 p.m., at Reynolds Performance Hall.
From the Emmy® Award-winning team behind Netflix’s ”Our Planet”series comes a new natural history speaker series: “The Making of our Planet: Frozen Worlds.” Brought to theaters across the country by Silverback Films and Producer ESK in association with Netflix, “The Making of our Planet” is a new and immersive live show featuring behind-the-scenes stories from the explorers, filmmakers, scientists and adventurers that created some of the most eye-catching footage of our planet.
With a focus on climate fragility and climate migration, “The Making of our Planet” tells an unprecedented story about overcoming obstacles on a global scale and explores the messages at the heart of these action-packed, emotional, and unforgettable sequences.
Host Huw Cordey will lead audiences through the screening and conversation. Huw’s career has taken him across the globe, from the Andes to the Amazon, filming everything from big cats in Africa to the orangutans of Borneo. At Silverback Films, he has led major productions including “The Hunt” and Netflix’s “Our Planet.” As the series’ producer, he continues to create groundbreaking wildlife documentaries for global audiences. Huw will take us behind the scenes of Frozen Worlds, revealing the challenges of filming in some of the planet’s most extreme environments while following walrus and polar bears in their icy habitats. With a wealth of experience capturing wildlife across diverse climates, he’ll also share fascinating stories from warmer regions and explore how climate change is reshaping ecosystems and the lives of the creatures that call Earth’s landscapes home.
