Inspired by the book "The Riot and the Dance" by Dr. Gordon Wilson.
Despite largely being called "The Riot and the Dance", the film's true title is "The Riot and the Dance: Earth", and will be followed by a sequel, titled "The Riot and the Dance: Oceans".
The documentary is directed by N.D. Wilson, the nephew of the film's animal expert host, Dr. Gordon Wilson.
Dr. Gordon L. Wilson, the film's host, is the brother of theologian Douglas Wilson.
Produced by Australian creationist Ken Ham.
