Oceans

To unravel the dramatic connections between fresh water and the health of the planet, Sanjayan travels to some of Earth’s greatest bodies of fresh water. Highlights include: the never-before-seen-on-television gathering of people, elephants and lions at the Singing Wells of Northern Kenya and Sanjayan’s epic kayak journey down the Colorado River from its source to where it dies out before reaching the sea. From there, viewers will discover why a depletion in fish stock in Lake Malawi is giving rise to HIV infections; meet the man who stopped the Sahara desert with an ancient use of nature; and witness one of the greatest ecological disasters on the planet: the Aral Sea in Uzbekistan.
