The Hidden Himalayas
From Monsoon to Rain Shadow
In production · Seeking funding and international co-production partners
Across the Eastern Himalayas, life has evolved to catch fleeting windows of food, water, warmth, and reproduction. The monsoon sets these opportunities in motion. Animals follow them up the mountains and across the plateau, while plants depend on the right conditions arriving where they stand.
The Hidden Himalayas explores this race for the right moment, and what happens when climate change begins to alter nature’s calendar.

Intimate animal stories connect the episodes, revealing the effort, ingenuity, and relationships that sustain life in these landscapes.

The Wild Next Door

Tens of millions of people call these cities home. So does wildlife.
What would a city look like if you could slip beneath a garden gate or land on its highest rooftop? A gap in an ancient building becomes a home. Shrubs beside an apartment block conceal a growing family. Familiar streets reveal another network of routes, shelters, and feeding grounds.
The Wild Next Door follows animals finding food, raising young, and navigating daily life in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. As they learn to live alongside us, the series asks a question of their human neighbours: how can we be better neighbours in return?
