Terra: The Nature of Our World
TERRA News
Islands in the Sky
As a tumultuous year winds down, we are indebted to the fantastic community of filmmakers and the diehard support of our audience, both of whom have made 2008 another incredible year for the TERRA series. This year saw us walking with dinosaurs, exploring the mythology of the American lawn, and using the powers of our own two hands to mold the future. Therefore, it is only fitting that we are ending the year in true TERRA style by taking to the skies with the story of the 'The Flying Dustbin.' We've learned more and more evidence over the last few years that no community or species is an island, though it may occasionally seem otherwise. In truth, the story of the Fulmar, remote as it is, testifies to our interconnectedness with all things. Our hope is that in 2009, we can use this single truth to continue to tell the stories of our natural world and that these visual yarns will continue to stitch and sew the world into better shape for tomorrow. Felicidades and thanks again!!
