Hunting Dinosaur Across The American Wilderness | Time Team

This documentary is a log-book of our crossing of the United States of America, few months before the Midterm elections of Barack Obama’s presidency. Our trip took us from the Gulf of Mexico at the worst time of the BP’s oil spill to the city of Chicago, home of President Obama. We tried to see what was left of the hope, dreams and great enthusiasm raised by his historical election. During our journey to the heart of the United States, we met with the man of the street and local personalities: fishermen affected by the oil spill, opponents to Obama’s Health Reform, fans of the president, close collaborators, disappointed supporters… Their testimonies are raw and honest, touching and profound, sometimes violent. One thing is sure: if Obama is the coolest president abroad, he remains a controversial figure in his own country. Original title: United States of Obama Director: Franck Guerin & Emmanuel Leconte Duration: 53' Year: 2010 Producer: Daniel Leconte

Deep in the heart of Canada’s rugged wilderness, teams of palaeontologists face extreme weather, dangerous wildlife, and racing clocks to pull ancient giants out of the ground. In Dinosaur Provincial Park, Dr. Philip Curry guides young fossil hunters on a mission to trace 75-million-year-old predators and solve a century-old mystery involving a lost armored dinosaur skull. Meanwhile, in the remote forests of British Columbia, a husband and wife team prepares for the most nerve-wracking operation of their careers: airlifting a five-ton Hadrosaur fossil using a massive cargo helicopter. From treacherous cliffs in bear territory to sudden flash floods threatening exposed bones, witness the high-stakes reality of modern fossil hunting as scientists bring prehistoric monsters back to life.

High on the frozen mountain peaks and deep within the thermal valleys of Yellowstone National Park, survival is a daily battle.

Watch how mother grizzlies fiercely protect their cubs from relentless wolf attacks, and see massive heavyweights clash like sumo wrestlers in violent duels for total dominance over the valley’s precious resources.
