The Riot and the Dance

It is all good except the music. It is too loud and distracting, rather than complimentary. It's rare to have the sound track ruin a nature film.

The Riot and the Dance is a nature documentary series that stands out for its breathtaking cinematography and its faith-based perspective on the natural world. Hosted by Dr. Gordon Wilson, a biologist with a deep passion for creation, the film offers a stunning exploration of wildlife while giving credit to God as the ultimate Creator.

Unlike mainstream nature documentaries that often focus solely on evolutionary processes, The Riot and the Dance presents nature through a Christian worldview, emphasizing the beauty, complexity, and purpose behind all living things. The film is both educational and awe-inspiring, featuring diverse landscapes, intricate animal behaviors, and vibrant ecosystems, all captured with high-quality visuals.

One of its strengths is how it balances scientific insight with theological reflection, making it appealing to those who appreciate both nature and faith. Whether showcasing the delicate structure of a flower, the majesty of a predator in action, or the vastness of the oceans, the documentary invites viewers to marvel at creation as a reflection of God's handiwork.

For those looking for a nature documentary that aligns with a biblical perspective while still delivering spectacular cinematography, The Riot and the Dance is a compelling and refreshing choice.

Loved it. It was wonderful to breath a sigh of relief to watch a documentary that gives glory and praise where it's due; my kids enjoyed it immensely and I even learned some things that challenged my thinking on certain passages of the Bible and who God is. I also enjoyed Gordon's love for God's creation; you can tell he isn't tired of studying the depths of the wonders of the world.

I think, for having a lower budget, the crew did great! The music choices for "Water" weren't fitting stylistically all the time, but I think there's probably a narrow pool to choose from. My kids were incredulous that people think that things come from nothing without a Creator's hand, and that's a great start. Beautifully done! Excited to watch the next one!

The narration and story-telling was great not to mention the immersive experience of the film overall. Lovely to experience God's world in a way I wouldn't have yearned to before. Eye-opening to say the list. May God continue to bless your ministry Sir and Team 👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Whole family thoroughly enjoyed. Great for all ages.
