Description:
Part 01:
Open Oceans & The Deep
David Attenborough narrates these two episodes of the BBC's acclaimed nature series, featuring new discoveries and photographic breakthroughs in this amazing look at undersea life. "Open Ocean" travels thousands of miles of "marine desert," where many of the ocean's most spectacular predators live. "The Deep" explores a world of perpetual night, mountain ranges, extreme pressures and cold, and spotlights some of the planet's strangest life forms.
Episode #01 - Open Oceans:
The constant predator-prey struggle is played out in the ocean, where it's a dolphin-eat-fish world. See the feeding and living habits of marlin, yellowfin tuna, dolphins, pilot whales and more.
Episode #02 - The Deep:
In the pitch-black abyss of the depths of the seas lie alien-like creatures and other species just waiting to be discovered. You'll find an octopus with ears, fish with teeth so large they can't close their mouths, the angler fish, with a light bulb attached to its forehead and much more.

Part 02:
Ocean World & Frozen Seas:
From frigid polar waters to the tropics, from turbulent surfaces to mysterious depths, this BBC series narrated by David Attenborough beautifully showcases the opulent grandeur of the sea and earned praise for its stunning underwater photography. Included here are two episodes: "Ocean World," which explores life underwater, and "Frozen Seas," which examines life in the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.
Episode #03 - Ocean World:
Get a fascinating look at the underwater world of the vast ocean, teeming with life and mystery. Follow the largest animal on earth -- the blue whale -- discover rarely seen creatures that dwell on the ocean's floor, and witness the aquatic food chain in action.
Episode #04 - Frozen Seas:
Most animals retreat to warmer temperatures when the frigid winter, with temperatures at -50 degrees, sets in in the Antarctic and Arctic regions. But some creatures -- like the emperor penguin, Weddell seal, polar bear and beluga whale -- choose to stick it out and fight for survival.

Part 03:
Seasonal Seas & Coral Seas
The Blue Planet: Seas of Life reveals the sea and its various communities at their most fearsome and alluring. Part 3 of this TV documentary series includes the following episodes: "Seasonal Oceans," detailing the challenges faced by ocean creatures when the seas get colder and rougher in winter; and "Coral Seas," showing the rich oasis of life that exists on a coral reef.
Episode #05 - Seasonal Seas:
With the turn of seasons come the shifting habits of sea creatures as they adjust to changing water temperatures. Witness the largest herd of grey seals gathering in frigid waters to breed; female lobsters trudging through cold depths to warmer waters in July to incubate their eggs; and dolphins at play in autumn.
Episode #06 - Coral Seas:
Coral reefs seem indestructible, cemented to the seabed, but they're indeed fragile and susceptible to damage by sea creatures, natural phenomena and humans alike. See coral's development from birth to death, whether by fish that can bite through it or a storm that can wipe it out.

Part 04:
Tidal Seas & Coasts:
The Blue Planet: Seas of Life reveals the sea and its various communities at their most fearsome and alluring. Part 4 of this TV documentary series includes the following episodes: "Tidal Seas," detailing the effects of strong tides on sea creatures and landscapes; and "Coasts," a glimpse into the life of turtles, sea lions and other creatures that retreat to the coast during breeding season.
Episode #07 - Tidal Seas:
The gravitational pull of the sun and moon cause the ocean waters to come and go, and sea creatures have timed their comings and goings to the tides as well. See how land and sea animals take advantage of the changing levels of water, such as raccoons that feed on crabs at low tide and finback whales that feed on herring at high tide.
Episode #08 - Coasts:
Several sea animals make long treks to coasts around the world to feed, breed or lay eggs. These peculiar migrations leave us to wonder why thousands of green turtles travel thousands of miles to perform the ritual of laying their eggs, or why killer whales venture near the beach to catch sea lion pups for prey.

The Obama phenomenon is a hoax carefully crafted by the captains of the New World Order. He is being pushed as savior in an attempt to con the American people into accepting global slavery.

The international banks plan to loot the people of the United States and turn them into slaves on a Global Plantation. Covered in this film: who Obama works for, what lies he has told, and his real agenda. If you want to know the facts and cut through all the hype, this is the film for you. Watch The Obama Deception and learn how: - Obama is continuing the process of transforming America into something that resembles Nazi Germany, with forced National Service, domestic civilian spies, warrantless wiretaps, the destruction of the Second Amendment, FEMA camps and Martial Law. - Obama's handlers are openly announcing the creation of a new Bank of the World that will dominate every nation on earth through carbon taxes and military force. - International bankers purposefully engineered the worldwide financial meltdown to bankrupt the nations of the planet and bring in World Government. - Obama plans to loot the middle class, destroy pensions and federalize the states so that the population is completely dependent on the Central Government. - The Elite are using Obama to pacify the public so they can usher in the North American Union by stealth, launch a new Cold War and continue the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. The information contained in this film is vital to the future of the Republic and to freedom worldwide. President Barack Obama is only the tool of a larger agenda. Until all are made aware, humanity will remain captive to the masters of the New World Order.
