    A beautiful and inspiring documentary.

    I watch many nature documentaries, and this one is particularly impressive. A unique array of animals as well as unusual variations in the environment.

    The photography and narration combine to give a fascinating view of the complex interaction within the natural "community," and with human actions, both pros and cons.

    Introduction to the animal life of Gabon, the human factors affecting their environment, and rather encouraging details of one leader's actions to limit some of the most destructive activities.

    The political side, I believe, is *not* heavy-handed. Rather, it is presented in an informative way that is thought-provoking.
