About Kerry: Tides of Time:

In exquisite detail, KERRY: TIDES OF TIME tells the rich and multi-dimensional story of Kerry, a peninsular southwest region of Ireland.

The two-part series seamlessly blends natural history, geology, dramatic human re-enactments, and the latest scientific research to tell a beautiful, engaging, and contemporary story.

Throughout the series, viewers take a fascinating journey across the varied lands and times of Kerry.

Starting in the prehistoric era, the opening episode highlights the first creatures that transitioned from sea to land as they slithered across the muddy fringes of a warm, shallow sea.

It then shows the region's evolution through the dramatic ebb and flow of successive ice ages, human habitation, and cultural development.

The second episode explores the natural processes that have made its landscape one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems on the planet, following this striking terrain through the course of a year.

From Kerry's rugged and battered coastline and its secret oak forests to the haunted lowlands of Coad Bog and the exposed peaks of Ireland's highest mountains, each location that is explored has a story to tell - whether it be revelatory, tragic, or inspiring.
