Six different islands.
One extraordinary story.
Aside from the cinematographic film, we will also produce six documentaries about the relationship between people and nature. These will be shown on TV across the Dutch Kingdom, and streaming services such as Netflix and/or Amazon.
Aruba
Aruba combines dry desert landscapes with bright Caribbean beaches. Nearly a quarter of the island is protected nature, home to distinctive wildlife. In Arikok National Park, limestone cliffs and rugged coastlines reveal a side of Aruba many visitors never see.
Bonaire
Bonaire’s volcanic and sedimentary landscapes are shaped by salt lakes that naturally filter rainwater. The island is encircled by a renowned fringing reef with around 60 coral species. It is also home to one of the largest populations of Caribbean flamingos.
Curaçao
Curaçao’s volcanic landscape supports the richest wildlife diversity of the Dutch Caribbean. More than 450 plant species thrive across its limestone terraces, gullies and hills. The island is surrounded by coral reefs and around 350 fish species in its waters.
Saba
Saba rises from the sea as a dormant volcano crowned by Mount Scenery, the highest point in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Its steep slopes are wrapped in humid tropical climate and lush secondary rainforest, protected within Mount Scenery National Park.
Sint Maarten
Sint Maarten is a single island shared by the Dutch and French, blending low coastal lagoons with conical hills. The island’s dry climate shapes a unique mix of vegetation, supporting more than five hundred plant species despite its limited rainfall.
Sint Eustatius
Sint Eustatius is shaped by a dormant volcano rising 601 meters above a tropical landscape. Its coastal waters lie along the migration route of humpback whales, and Zeelandia Beach serves as an important protected nesting site for sea turtles.
