Critical Kingdoms: Stories of Hope (2022)

EndedDocumentary show

Our world is in the midst of its sixth mass extinction. Only this time, humans are the cause. From the sea to the sky, from deserts and jungles to mountains and lakes, Earth supports 8.7 million kinds of life. Its biodiversity stretches our imagination – even as our quest for raw materials shrinks its natural resources. An astounding ninety percent of species haven't even been named yet. If we don't scale back our environmental destruction, many will never be.

But all is not lost. In Critical Kingdoms, we visit fragile ecosystems around the globe to share stories of hope as scientists, governments, and selfless volunteers work tirelessly to pull species back from the brink of extinction and preserve our planet for future generations. Through spectacular locations, captivating storytelling, insightful interviews and eye-popping revelations, Critical Kingdoms will inform, entertain and inspire.

Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire

Based on Anne Rice's iconic and bestselling novel, Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire follows Louis de Pointe, Lestat de Lioncourt and Claudia's epic story of love, blood and the perils of immortality, as told to the journalist Daniel Molloy. Chafing at the limitations of life as a Black man in New Orleans in the early 1900s, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat de Lioncourt's offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion. But Louis's intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat's newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement.
