AU’s School of Communication has produced a half-hour documentary for public television entitled Shooting in The Wild inspired by my book of the same name. Here is the website: american.edu/soc/cef/shooting-in-the-wild.cfm The film reveals how the production of wildlife films sometimes involves deception, irresponsible sensationalism, and even animal abuse. Alexandra Cousteau, National Geographic Emerging Explorer and granddaughter of Captain Jacques Cousteau, hosts the program. Yesterday the film was transmitted by satellite to all the public television stations in the country. So far fourteen public television stations have agreed to air the film, including major market stations in Los Angeles, Denver, Kansas City, Nashville, and Baltimore. The film was made possible by the generosity of the Park Foundation, the Shared Earth Foundation, and the Norcross Foundation. I also want to thank Dean Jeff Rutenbeck, Ed Beimfohr (director/producer), and Frank Fitzmaurice (producer/editor) for their leadership.
