The Great Bear Rainforest + Secrets of the Sea

Originally released only to IMAX theatres, we are pleased to share two outstanding 40-minute nature documentaries for family audiences.

Great Bear Rainforest

Journey to a land of grizzlies, coastal wolves, sea otters and the all-white spirit bear — the rarest bear on earth — in the film Great Bear Rainforest. Hidden from the outside world, the Great Bear Rainforest is one of the wildest places left on earth. Found right here in BC, it is the last intact temperate rainforest in the world—a place protected by the region’s indigenous people for millennia.

Narrated by Ryan Reynolds.

Breathtaking vistas of both land and sea put us in a submissive state. We’re rendered powerless against the awe-inspiring imagery. It’s virtually impossible not to feel enveloped by the sights the filmmakers capture on camera. Every frame impresses, with no time wasted on filler.
