Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory

Now streaming on Disney+

‘This is a ‘behind the scenes’ wildlife show like no other. It’s Indiana Jones meets David Attenborough in a modern-day, true-life adventure, where the host shoots a wildlife show as they go. You’ll never see a more authentic portrayal of the incredible life of a wildlife camera cinematographer – for all Bertie’s self-knowing and playful humor, his job is as every bit as difficult and dangerous as you imagine. 

 The set-up is simple: top wildlife camera cinematographer Bertie Gregory is the guide to five of the wildest, most spectacular and secretive corners of our planet, where he tracks down amazing animal characters to capture remarkable and intimate moments in their lives. Bertie is one of a new breed of young wildlife filmmakers who have a greater range of technological equipment than at any other time in history at their disposal – drones, gyro-stabilized cameras, military grade night vision cameras and the ability to film unique behavior in glorious UHD. 

On his adventures Bertie also meets the incredible human characters, who live, work and survive on the wildest frontiers of our planet; researchers at the cutting edge of science, local people battling to save a species and guides who can read the (often hidden) signs and tracks animals leave behind. All of these unique individuals feature on-screen, each has a vital conservation message to convey and crucial expertise to help Bertie achieve his final vision. In the remote and often hostile environments Bertie loves so much, events rarely follow the script. Equipment stops working, vehicles break down, animal’s face daily challenges and the weather never does what it is supposed to. On an Epic Adventure, plans constantly change and the audience are along for every second of the ride - that’s why there's no other TV show like it.’
