Synopsis:

Untamed Africa (1994)

Untamed Amazonia (1999)
Untamed Amazonia reveals Earth's largest primeval domain like never before. It's a world of great beauty, mystery and danger, of intermingled parts in constant confrontation.

Untamed Australia (1999)
A 12-episode series devoted to one of the most fantastic groups of wild creatures in the world, the fauna of Australia.

Untamed Asia (2001)
Untamed Asia is an opening to the jungle of our dreams; the fairytale jungle described by such storybook authors as Rudyard Kipling.

Untamed North America (2002)
The animals of this New Continent are obliged to face up to the rigors of nature itself. The North American continent presents an array endless of obstacles in their rivers, glaciers and Rocky Mountains, not to mention the intensely bitter winter chill.

Untamed North America (2002)
The animals of this New Continent are obliged to face up to the rigours of nature itself. The North American continent presents an array endless of obstacles in their rivers, glaciers and Rocky Mountains, not to mention the intensely bitter winter chill. Just as Nature imposed difficulties in the path of the early pioneers, her wild animals must live with this year in and year out. Untamed Wild West welcomes us into a world which compels its survivors to make peace with the elements and to create a genuine union with the Earth in the manner of the American Indians. This series is particularly devoted to highlighting this extraordinarily contemporary Indian belief that nature is nothing but an exchange: Matter to subsist energy, one life for another and one breath to enliven one soul.

Untamed Asia (2001)
Untamed Asia is an opening to the jungle of our dreams ; the fairytale jungle described by such storybook authors as Rudyard Kipling. It is a series devoted to the wonder and innocence of the young, but also about the loss of innocence. A family of wild Asian elephants led by the matriarch in search of food, a tiger who viciously preys upon weak and injured animals, and a gibbon whose call is so beautiful that it is considered to be the song of the jungle are just some of the many characters in this epic drama.

Untamed Australia (1999)
A 12-episode series devoted to one of the most fantastic groups of wild creatures in the world, the fauna of Australia. As in the preceding series, the animals in UNTAMED AUSTRALIA are treated as real characters. The entire series is built around the main heroes: a kangaroo couple from the outback seeking their child who was kidnapped by a dingo; a lost bat who tries to find his place in a bat colony ; an anthill-destroying echidna looking for a mate; a platypus digging its burrow network; an old. grumpy sea crocodile who carves his territory out of the swamps; and a taipan the most dangerous of all Australian snakes, preparing her nest for the birth of her young. Births, sandstorms, monsoons, territorial conflicts, unexpected predators, and brushfires are the daily starting point for these tales, which are overwhelming, amusing and edifying in turn.

Untamed Amazonia (1999)
Untamed Amazonia reveals Earth's largest primeval domain like never before. It's a world of great beauty, mystery and danger, of intermingled parts in constant confrontation. There's the sunny tree-top world, the surging waterworld, and in between, impenetrable mangrove evoking the heart of darkness. The series presents wildlife of extraordinary variety, with animals living their own lives but treated as characters. Each program is built around heroes: a young pink dolphin, a pair of'jaguars, an old injured cayman, a family of anteaters, a baby otter. As in fiction their lives are portrayed in terms of birth, play, mating, rivalry and death, but also through the natural phenomena of flood, fire and migration. All the while, vivid new faces keep popping up: manatees, ocelots, tapirs, sloths and anacondas; overhead, parrots and toucans flap by, monkeys swing between branches, and schools of piranhas dart menacingly. The series is being shot along the Amazon, the Rio Negro and their tributaries, and in Jau National Park. Several episodes will take us to the Pantanal, the world's biggest marshlands, summer home to thousands of birds. Over this vast spectacular area, crews in helicopters, seaplanes and gliders, using remote-control, underwater and endoscopic cameras and special effects, are equipped to capture the untamed Amazon like never before.

Untamed Africa (1994)
With the seminal Untamed Africa, Frederic Lepage pioneered a new way of wildlife-documentary making, working with director Laurent Frapat. The twelve-hour series received worldwide success in more than one hundred countries.

Untamed Earth series includes Untamed Africa, Untamed Amazonia, Untamed Australia and Untamed Asia. The spirit and magic of this series lies in filming reality as it appears before the camera. Adding nothing, taking nothing away, using nothing artificial, just telling the tale as it is : a mosaic of individual destinies. In this series for the first time, viewers are deliberately encouraged to identify with animal heroes. It is a hymn to the universal nature of the living world, the shared experience of all living creatures.
