Lost Worlds are Discovered at The Wildlife Experience

DENVER - October 5, 2005 - Lost Worlds, which will begin showing in the giant screen theater on October 29 at The Wildlife Experience in Parker, takes viewers on a journey to worlds both past and present.

Lost Worlds: Life in the Balance is a science adventure - an exploration of the diversity of life around us and its relationship to human civilization. As largely urban dwellers, set apart in jungles of asphalt, concrete and glass we forget the powerful connection that exists between ourselves and the natural world - in the life, the air, the water and the soil around us. Lost Worlds is about that vital connection.

The film opens in the jungles of Guatemala. A lightning storm illuminates a prowling black jaguar and the ruins of the Lost City of Tikal, once the heart of the ancient Mayan civilization. One thousand years ago, this great metropolis was mysteriously abandoned. What happened here? What decided the fate of this place and what can the distant events that befell it tell us about our own cities and civilization? What keeps all cities alive?

In the search for answers, Lost Worlds takes the audience on a journey up into the world high above the streets of New York City and down into the soil of the Catskill Mountains and beyond; we plunge into the kelp forests of the Pacific and investigate biodiversity with a team of scientists in the remote and fantastic table mountains of Venezuela. Weaving together the stories of these different worlds, the film provides insight into the diversity and interrelatedness of living things, and ultimately, into the puzzle of human survival.

Lost Worlds will begin showing in the giant screen theater at The Wildlife Experience on October 29 and will show through October of 2006.
