Mass Extinction: Life at the Brink joins scientists around the globe in search of answers to two of the most dramatic mass extinctions: the “K/T Extinction,” which wiped out the dinosaurs, and “The Great Dying,” which 250 million years ago annihilated nearly 90% of all Earth’s species. The film travels from the mountains of Italy to the coasts of Spain, from the wilds of China to rugged Siberian taiga.
