Amazon Adventure
Amazon Adventure tells the epic, true story of explorer Henry Bates’ fascinating 11 year journey through the visually stunning and biodiverse Amazon rainforest as a young man who risks his life for science in the 1850’s.
Audiences will experience, in immersive IMAX®, the compelling clues Bates unearths in his major discovery of the phenomenon of mimicry – whereby certain animals adopt the look of others to help them deceive predators and gain an advantage to survive.
Little known to the public, Bates made other crucial contributions to biology: identifying 8,000 species new to science, and making the first ever case for the creation of a new species – which Charles Darwin called the “beautiful proof” for Natural Selection. http://bit.ly/2yLrvHC

And from this chance encounter, Bern makes a discovery – about himself, his family and the importance of compassion. http://bit.ly/2ypA1uD
