Janson Media Takes an HD Eco-Adventure in “Water’s Journey”

July 31st, 2008 · No Comments

Janson Media today announced the release to worldwide television, VOD, New Media, and DVD/video markets of Water’s Journey, a four-hour eco-adventure series filmed in High-Definition. Water’s Journey follows a team of scientists and adventurers as they explore their way through entire water systems and investigate mankind’s relationship with these systems, often courting danger along the way.

The world’s aquifers are relied upon as our primary source of drinking water, but surprisingly little is known about their deep secrets. In Hidden Rivers of Florida, the first episode of Water’s Journey, a team of inner earth explorers are tracked on the surface by transmitted signal as they pass beneath virtually every aspect of society. This important film shows how easily contaminants can make their way into our drinking water and what is being done to protect it.

Great rivers throughout the world share many things in common. In The River Returns viewers join a team of adventure explorers, and scientist on a high flying, deep diving, river cruising expedition to explore the anatomy of a river system from it’s mouth to the ultimate source. Along the way the team makes surprising and powerful discoveries about the nature of rivers, and offers refreshing examples of things being done to protect these important water resources.

Over 2 million acres remain of what was once the largest single wetland on earth. Despite all that has been done to drain and contain this system, it remains one of the great water wonders of earth. In Everglades, Currents of Change the team hikes, swims paddles, and dives through the heart of the Everglades to reveal its importance to the planet.

In the final episode, Everglades, Restoring Hope, viewers join a team of scientists and explorers who have undertaken a massive restoration plan to protect one of the greatest wetlands on the planet.

Water’s Journey has won numerous awards, including winning two HDFest Deffies for Best Documentary Film and Best Cinematography, a Cine Golden Eagle, a Gold Aurora Award Finalist, a Crystal Reel Award, The Hidden Rivers of Florida episode was a finalist at the 2003 Jackson Hole International Wildlife Film Festival,  and the Everglades, Restoring Hope episode was a finalist at the 2006 Japanese Wildlife Film Festival.

Water’s Journey, produced in 1080i High-Definition by Karst Productions of High Springs, Florida, is now available to worldwide television, VOD, New Media, and DVD/video markets, exclusively through Janson Media.
