a.THE LIVING EDENS: DENALI, ALASKA'S GREAT WILDERNESS
A Reader's Digest presentation, produced 1997, 60 minutes. Educational rights.

Beneath the Northern Lights on Mt. Denali, the highest mountain in North America, Bruce Reitherman, producer and some-times cameraman, braces himself against minus 18 degrees centigrade weather that cracks the face as well as the camera lens to capture Denali, Alaska's great wilderness on film. Watch him soar above the jagged mountain peaks by ski-plane, slice his way across the tundra by dogsled, and get chased up a tree by a bear. A year of Reitherman's enriching experience is highlighted in this program.

b. THE LIVING EDENS: BIG SUR, CALIFORNIA'S WILD COAST
Produced by Devillier Donegan Enterprises, 2001, 60 minutes. Educational rights

LIVING EDENS: BIG SUR is a documentary about California's wild coastline region. Photographed by Bruce Reitherman, this program features the wild animals and plant life that lives in Big Sur, constituting the 100 miles of coastland beneath the Monterey Peninsula. The footage explores the mating and feeding habits of endangered birds, ocean mammals, and inland forest creatures. Big Sur is home to rare species of animals, like the California condor, the elephant seal, and the accord woodpecker.

c. THE LIVING EDENS: YELLOWSTONE
Produced by ABC/Kane Productions International, 2000
60 minutes, educational rights

High in the wild heart of the American Rockies, the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming is a place of extraordinary landscapes and geysers. Created by the largest volcanic explosions in the planet's history, Yellowstone became the world's first national park in the late 1870s. Now that the wolves have been returned to the park, Yellowstone has become an unparalleled wildlife sanctuary and perhaps the best place on the planet to see wolves and grizzly bears hunting elk.

d. WILD RIVER: THE COLORADO
Produced by KUED, University of Utah, 2006
60 minutes, educational rights.

WILD RIVER: THE COLORADO follows the Colorado River from its headwaters in Rocky Mountain National Park through Glen Canyon, Lake Powell, the fragile beauty and rapids of the Grand Canyon and into Mexico. The film is a visually beautiful journey. Historically, the Colorado River ran to the Gulf of California. After serving the needs of the West, it now reaches the gulf only in the wettest years. The film shows viewers hidden jewels of the Colorado River as well as raft adventures on the rapids of Cataract Canyon and Grand Canyon.
