Welcome to the year 2030: Common Era (CE). Bright with possibility, it is a vibrant new world of employment, clean air and a revitalized emphasis on leisure and recreation. The ‘good life’ is available to all. What more could one want? Well…maybe to live longer. A virus called Progressive Aging Syndrome (PAS) is causing certain death by the age of 30. The result is a world where youth rule – as med school grads at 16, elders at 22, the driving age is 12! This brave new world has been reclaimed under the name Nexes, a collective formed by governments, business and the scientific community. 2030 CE centers on the idealistic Hart and best friend Robbie, his precocious sister Rome and Hart’s beautiful colleague, Jakki. When a Nexes genetic test ‘reveals’ a fatal weakness in Hart, his dream of becoming a doctor and finding a cure for PAS is ripped from him. Now, mysteriously reclassified as an Eco-Tech by Maxine Rich, head of Nexes security, his quest for answers leads him into uncharted terrain where hidden conspiracies abound and where the truth, when uncovered, is almost inconceivable.

Earth Detectives: In Search of T. Rex

If Indiana Jones lived today he would be a palaeontologist. They are the modern day cowboys of science, seekers of lost worlds, conquerors of the unknown, hunters of terrifying mythical beasts. They bring to their work the investigative prowess of a great detective, the aesthetics and craft of an artist and the stamina of an athlete.

They are the dedicated men and women of science, well trained and disciplined, who work at their jobs in relative obscurity in the field as they carefully extract ancient fossilized bones from tons of rock and soil. Exactly what it is that they do and how they do it is somewhat of a mystery to the general public who find themselves torn between visions of Barney and Jurassic Park when it comes to understanding life on earth before man.

Earth Detectives: In Search of T. Rex is a one-hour documentary film that explores the world of palaeontologist Tim Tokaryk and his crew as they excavate and restore a near-complete Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton, found in the region known as Dinosaur Alley in western Canada. The excavation may ultimately reveal one of the largest and the most complete T. Rex finds to date. This is a rare opportunity for the world to learn more about these dinosaurs and their world.
