How do you save a species when time is working against you?

May 22, 2026 through November 19, 2026

Back From the Brink tells the remarkable stories of three extraordinary animal species rescued from extinction. Discover the coordinated efforts that saved a tiny fox in California’s Channel Islands, a fabled monkey in China’s Yunnan Province, and the iconic Christmas Island crabs off Australia’s coast. 

Narrated by actress Clare Danes, the film showcases conservation in action. Meet the inspiring scientists, community members, park rangers, and students working to protect these species and support their recovery. 

Back From the Brink is a Cosmic Pictures distribution release in association with The Nature Conservancy. Written by Kurt Frey and Jennifer Casey, the film is executive produced by Anthony and Joe Russo and directed by Sean Casey. 

The Giant Screen Experience is included with paid admission and is free for members.
