In the wildest corners of our planet, powerful leaders have always reigned supreme. But this is a tale of a new breed of hero — fierce, smart, resilient, and…female. National Geographic’s “Queens,” from Wildstar Films, unveils the narratives of matriarchies and female leaders across the globe, weaving a tapestry of sacrifice, resilience, friendship, and love. These queens are not always gentle; they stop at nothing to ensure the success and safety of their families. Crafted over four years and spearheaded by a diverse, female-led production team spanning the globe, this seven-part series leverages RED technology to unearth unexpected insights into the ascent of females in the natural hierarchy. Cooperation and wisdom, rather than brute strength, propel these queens forward. The series culminates in a tribute to the women who have journeyed to the farthest reaches of the Earth, dedicating their lives to documenting and safeguarding the queens of the animal kingdom. After all, we don’t simply refer to her as Mother Nature without reason. All hail… the queens! www.red.com/queens
