These animals and thousands of others just like them have one big thread common with people – we live right alongside each other!
Wild Rescue documents the passionate story behind the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, the fragile journey of rescuing injured animals from out in the wild, their rehabilitation by their team of dedicated veterinarians and volunteers, and the release of the animals for a “second chance at a wild life.” |

| Synopsis | Black holes, the big bang, space that can bend and ripple. So much of our understanding of the cosmos comes from Albert Einstein’s radical ideas about gravity. Designed and conceived for the largest screens in our galaxy, Einstein’s Incredible Universe takes audiences on a spellbinding journey through space and time, as well as into Einstein’s imagination during some of his most famous “thought experiments.” The film tells the stories of two contemporary astrophysicists, Andrea Ghez (2020 Nobel-laureate) and Nergis Mavalvala (Dean of Science at MIT), who were inspired by Einstein growing up and are now building on his theories in ways that would have astonished even him. With major funding from the National Science Foundation, Einstein’s Incredible Universe will launch alongside a robust educational outreach campaign in 2026. |
