Mara: Rebirth — Season 1, Episode 1: The Emergence
Documentary • 52 min • 1 season, 2 episodes
Episode synopsis
Part 1 of our series starts with the dust of the disappearing migration as it heads off across the river and leaves. Behind them, hundreds if not thousands of other animals cannot move, or won’t move, because they are locked into territories, invisible barriers that say to them, ‘leave your bubble at your peril’. This is their story. It is the story about what happens between September and the following July. Nine months of wildebeest-free Mara.
About Mara: Rebirth
The Mara is probably the most diverse and important savanna ecosystem on the planet. It’s so special because it is the meeting place of migrations from the south and the north-east. This two-part mini series tells the story of what happens when the famous wildebeest migration departs. The absence of the wildebeest is the time when many of the Mara’s resident animals give birth to their young. This is a story about birth and growth, a factual look into what happens most of the year in this world-famous African wilderness.
