Description

Avatar is "set in the mid-22nd century, when humans are colonizing Pandora, a moon of a gas giant in the Alpha Centauri star system, in order to mine the mineral unobtanium. The expansion of the mining colony threatens the continued existence of a local tribe of Na'vi – a humanoid species indigenous to Pandora". 

In this clip, Grace and Jake Sully discuss the "very interesting biological anomaly" in the Navi village by using a curved holographic display. Grace states that, "[she] would die to get samples", but that "outsiders are strictly forbidden".
