Wild Cats Revealed — January 29, 2025, 6:30-8pm
Many of the big cats around the world are easily recognizable and thoroughly documented, but photographer and filmmaker Sandesh Kadur is on a mission to highlight his home country’s lesser-known felines to help protect their future. With landscapes spanning the towering Himalaya mountains, arid plains, and dense jungles, India is home to an unmatched diversity of wild cats. Discover the tiny, grumpy-faced Pallas’s cat, the fishing cat that jumps into water to catch its prey, and the elusive clouded leopard.

The Untold Story of Sharks — March 26, 2025, 6:30-8pm
Sharks have roamed the planet’s waters since before the dinosaurs and have evolved into more than 500 species.
