Planet Earth - Deserts

Saturday, December 16, 2017
4:00pm to 5:00pm
Add to Cal
Beckman Auditorium
  • Public Event

While many believe that all deserts are similar expanses of dry land, a lack of rainwater is perhaps the only thing that unifies these diverse habitats. With incredible aerial and time-lapse footage, see how animals have learned to survive without the most precious resource of all.

A BBC/Discovery Channel/NHK co-production in association with the CBC.

Annelise Thompson, a graduate student in chemistry and chemical engineering at Caltech, will introduce the film and guide the post-screening discussion.

Recommended for ages 8 and up.
