Featuring panoramic scenes of lush landscapes, "Prince of the Alps" travels high into the mountains, where chamois and ibex are right at home on the nearly vertical cliffs, marmots emerge late from hibernation, and red deer prove their agility. NATURE follows the red deer calf as he navigates his dangerous alpine home in "Prince of the Alps," premiering Sunday, May 11 at 8 pm ET on PBS (check local listings). Academy Award-winning actor F. Murray Abraham narrates the film, part of the 26th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen/WNET New York for PBS. Major support provided by Canon U.S.A.
