- This series (Amazonia: Last Call) travels across Brazilian landscapes by way of one of the main links still binding the essence of humanity with the Earth: the Amazon. The filming of the first point of contact with an isolated race, the Zo'E, the encroachment on areas of the Amazonian forest previously uncaptured on film, the evidence relating to the development of the illegal trafficking of species or the recording of the immeasurable value of Brazil's natural spaces; these are just excerpts from the series.

- The waters that bathe the south of Australia are a link preserved from a former union. 50 million years ago, this island-continent broke away from the Antarctic, abandoning it to the cold currents which froze it. Here, on the southern Australian coast, these waters come to the surface, giving to rise to a veritable explosion of life, an incredible proliferation of species, from plankton eaters to specialist predators. People often think that the sea is full of life, that everywhere creatures of one size or another swim. However, that is not true. In fact, the open ocean is almost a desert, with nothing to eat and no one to eat it. That is not the case of this coast. When the cold waters reach here and rise to the surface, they come into contact with the sunlight, and warm up. And it is precisely the presence of light that works the miracle and causes life to flourish along these beaches.
- The Amazon ecosystem, and especially the rain forest, is considered one of the world's most complex animal and vegetable habitats. Its most important characteristics are the sheer number of different animal and plant species, and the extraordinary variations in macro and micro-habitats. In this park alone, over 100 species of tree per hectare have been identified. To give us some idea of the scale of this number, in the richest, densest jungles of Central America, the equivalent figure is no more than 40. Until about a year ago, Ñame and his family lived in Quehueiriono, on of the most important settlements along the Shiripuno, a tributary of the Napo. But natural resources were running out, and were not enough to feed the 160 members of the community. So, Ñame decided to move out, and settle in a different place, two days walk from Quehueiriono.
- A widespread women movement is changing the image of India facing the 21st-century. Discriminated from birth, and even before, Indian women are beginning to claim for their place in society. Stories such as that of Savita, a nine-year-old girl who is forced to marry, may seem to come straight from the Middle Ages, but they are everyday happenings in India. Women unions and micro-credit systems are more active than ever in 2004, the International Year of the Indian Woman.
- The human being is the self-proclaimed king of the Creation. Our extraordinary cultural and technological evolution has led us to dominate the planet and all its creatures. But something is going wrong : In this century, the so-called success of those who called themselves Sapiens- Sapiens is seriously threatened by the human overpopulation of the planet and by the climate change brought about by the over consumption of energy. If a terrestrial observer would study us in a zoological way as we do with other animals; what conclusion would he get out of our behavior? Unfortunately we must admit that most of our actions are taken without considering the serious and sometimes unchangeable consequences that they can cause on our planet. This documentary is trying to point out that despite the development of our civilization in this the 21st century, our genetic legacy is still there and the primate we used to be remains in us and determines our lives much more than we suspect. The human being is not as smart as he thinks and has simply become a SELFISH APE. Written and directed by Fernando López- Mirones.
- There is a region in Southern Venezuela dominated by large rock formations of the Precambrian era surrounded by the largest virgin jungle of the planet.

- A walking girl innocently observes the evolution of humankind alongside her own. Learning, real understanding, war, poverty, mass media, and what the future has in store for us. These are some of the issues she reflects upon with the experienced help in the form of insights provided by: philosophers (Rafael Argullol), doctors (Sir John Woodhall), writers (Amin Maalouf), musicians (Trilok Gurtu), professors (Ramón Tamames, Federico Mayor Zaragoza), social workers (Bani Dugal, Linda Kavelin-Popov, Gustavo Correa, Alberto Pérez), promoters of new economic systems (Muhammad Yunus, Jean Ziegler). She finally arrives at the conclusion that "the future, contrary to certain theories, does not write itself. We write the future."
