Pandas, an IMAX® original film for the whole family, is a story of hope friendship and survival. At China’s Chengdu Panda Base, the scientist leading a successful captive breeding program is ready to take a bold new step. Inspired by the work of a black bear rehabilitator in New Hampshire, a team of U.S. and Chinese scientists collaborate on an innovative project to release captive-born pandas into the wild—using methods never previously tried with pandas.Captured with IMAX® Cameras, the film follows the journey of a young cub named Qian Qian as she leaves the comfort of the panda base behind and prepares for a life-changing journey into the misty mountains of Sichuan. Pandas is directed by David Douglas and Drew Fellman, the filmmakers behind Born To Be Wild and Island Of Lemurs: Madagascar. Fellman wrote and produced, with Douglas serving as director of photography.
