Nature & Wildlife 1 x 52' 2025 4K

In the nature documentary Wild on a High, the boundaries between instinct and indulgence blur as animals around the world are caught in moments of intoxication.

From swans addicted to opium poppies to dolphins seemingly sharing pufferfish for its psychoactive toxins, this visually stunning series reveals surprising and often unexplored behaviors in the animal kingdom. Are these creatures seeking altered states for pleasure, evolutionary gain, or survival? The film unvcovers how various species, from reindeer to lemurs, honey badgers to chimpanzees, interact with mind-altering substances. Blending scientific inquiry with breathtaking cinematography, the documentary challenges our understanding of animal consciousness and asks: are humans truly the only beings who enjoy getting high?
