Nature: Yosemite(2017)

No temple made with hands can compare with Yosemite

Nature: Yosemite is a documentary that traces how water shaped one of America's most iconic landscapes. Over millennia, flowing water carved Yosemite Valley and nurtured the world's largest living trees, making life possible in this granite wilderness. Today, climate change threatens that delicate balance. Scarcer water supplies and intensifying wildfires now pose unprecedented challenges to the Sierra Nevada ecosystem. The film follows scientists and adventurers as they examine the region's past, present, and future, exploring how wildlife—from bighorn sheep to American pikas—adapts to drought, fire, and snow. Stunning aerial views of the valley and intimate looks at the creatures that call Yosemite home reveal the intricate web connecting water, survival, and the mountain's future.
