Editor's Take

Set on the thin margin where human settlement gives way to bare rock and ice, this account follows the wildlife that persists above the tree line. It draws a clear contrast between the inhabited valleys below and the parallel, harder world at altitude. The emphasis falls on adaptation and seasonal hardship, with the peaks themselves treated as a shaping force rather than mere backdrop.

This 4K documentary climbs into the high Alps, where a wild world survives just above the reach of human settlement. For thousands of years people have inhabited the accessible valleys, but the peaks hold a parallel realm of hardy wildlife and dramatic landscapes. The film follows the animals that endure in this rugged terrain through the seasons. Spectacular and immersive, it reveals the wild heart of Europe. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
