In 1999, Illustra Media began a project that would span more than nine years, four continents, and thousands of hours of research, writing, editing, computer animation, and location photography. The objective was to create a documentary trilogy that would present the scientific case for intelligent design.

• Unlocking the Mystery of Life (released in 2002) revealed compelling evidence for design at the level of molecules and cells.
• The Privileged Planet (2004) explored the depths of the cosmos in a memorable search for purpose in the universe.
• Darwin's Dilemma (2009) examined the Cambrian explosion of life, one of the most remarkable events in the history of our planet.

These critically-acclaimed documentaries were broadcast on PBS and translated into more than 20 languages. They have inspired and educated millions and fueled an international debate on the origin of life.
