THE SERENGETI RULES
NICHOLAS BROWN | UK | 2018 | 84 MIN | G
PA Premiere
In the 1960s, five young scientists explored some of the most remote and spectacular places on Earth – from the majestic Serengeti to the Amazon jungle; from the Arctic Ocean to Pacific tide pools – and discovered a single set of rules that governs all life. Their surprising discoveries flip our understanding of nature on its head and offer new hope for restoring our world.
One of the most important but untold science stories of our time – a tale with profound implications for the fate of life on our planet.
The Serengeti Rules – Full Trailer from Howard Hughes Medical Institute on Vimeo.
