The hard part will be choosing between The Angry Land, The Apocalypse 2012, The Secrets of the Cosmos or Predators.
Angry Earth (box of two DVDs)
Volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes, storms come to remind us that we are on a boiling ground. And one can ask the question "is not our planet becoming more dangerous?" 2010 was one of the most deadly years in the world for twenty years. In May, the third United Nations Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction took place. But finally, what do we really know about these natural forces that we can not control? Is it due to divine punishment, to the deterioration of the climate linked to the activity of man, to the mismanagement of our environment or simply to the history of a planet which, since 4, 5 billion years, has lived a succession of cataclysms. These documentaries aim to analyze the latest exceptional climatic phenomena and to see how far they can be detected to prevent the consequences from being dramatic. The recommended retail price of this box: 16.99 euros
Predators (desert, rainforest and savannah)
The animal kingdom is once again sieved and you will discover the attack strategies of formidable predators. From the Gila monster to the boa constrictor, everyone will imagine the best strategy to survive. These are all the secrets of these formidable creatures that you will be able to observe thanks to images taken on the spot that will capture these last moments where everything is played, and which remain invisible to the naked eye. In this struggle for survival, some such as the horned rattlesnake will brave the torrid heat of the desert that can reach 50 degrees, others face the torrential rains of the rainforest. Whether they are walking, crawling, jumping or flying, the struggle for territory and survival is endless. The recommended retail price of this box: 14.99 euros.

Apocalypse 2012 (two DVD box)
Humanity has always been concerned about its own end, but never as much as today. Life on earth is threatened by both natural and man-made dangers, both terrestrial and cosmic. Scientists will analyze the threats that could occur in 2012 and beyond, from a solar storm to pole reversal, from the eruption of a super volcano to the collision of an asteroid. Will the final cataclysm be done by Mother Nature, man or an invisible force that is even more powerful? In a second part, we deal more precisely with collisions. This subject is topical with the very luminous fireball accompanied by a violent explosion which was observed in Brittany on July 19, 2011. Each year, rocks and debris from space collide with the Earth. The show is grandiose. They illuminate the sky and crash on the surface of the globe. But what would happen if something huge touched us? Would it lead to a great ice age or a bubbling ocean caused by rising temperatures? Can a monster run right over us? Will the Earth soon suffer a collision? The recommended retail price of this box: 16.99 euros.
