这是一部惊险刺激、令人肾上腺素飙升的探险类自然动物纪录片。从加拿大北方的雪山群到亚马逊丛林,西里尔·肖凯和他的团队怀揣着对鱼类保护的热情,克服野兽的追捕、原始部族的攻击甚至调研船只的摧毁等艰难险阻,追踪并记录那些濒临灭绝的巨型鱼类,如白鲟、巨骨舌鱼、歌利亚鲶鱼等。这些已经存在了数千万年的传奇巨兽,因为栖息地破坏,环境污染、过度捕捞的影响,正处于危险之中。
Filmed in Canada, Iran, and the United States, Secrets of the Surface: The Mathematical Vision of Maryam Mirzakhani examines the life and mathematical work of Maryam Mirzakhani, an Iranian immigrant to the United States who became a superstar in her field. In 2014, she was both the first woman and the first Iranian to be honored by mathematics' highest prize, the Fields Medal. Mirzakhani's contributions are explained by leading mathematicians and illustrated by animated sequences. Her mathematical colleagues from around the world, as well as former teachers, classmates, and students in Iran today, convey the deep impact of her achievements. The path of her education, success on Iran's Math Olympiad team, and her brilliant work, make Mirzakhani an ideal role model for girls looking toward careers in science and mathematics.
