DENVER - April 11, 2012 -Through the power of IMAX ^®3D, audiences will be transported to one of the most remote and spectacularly beautiful places in the world and experience an emotional story of love, family, and hope, when the documentary adventure To The Arctic 3D comes to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science on Friday, April 20.

"Warner Bros. and IMAX share our commitment to bringing audiences the highest quality documentary films that entertain and inspire," said director Greg MacGillivray.  "The film's universal themes of love, hope, and the power of family, as set against the back drop of the breathtaking Arctic, is sure to capture the imagination of audiences everywhere."
