The Spectacled Bear: A Family Affair
Monday, September 8, 2008 at 10 pm
The Spectacled Bear: A Family Affair follows the Clare family as they attempt to reintroduce rescued spectacled bears, South America's only indigenous bears, into their Ecuadorian wildlife habitat. Jim and Teresa, two BBC documentary filmmakers, came to Ecuador ten years ago on assignment for the BBC and decided to make the Andes their home. Now, with their young children Thomas and Emma, they devote their lives to conservation of the Ecuadorian fauna at their hacienda in the Sangay National Park. They have rescued a wide variety of animals who have been either seized from the local black market or injured. Against the wild and beautiful backdrop of rural Ecuador, this is a vibrant and inspirational story of how one family is helping to preserve the biodiversity of a little-known yet ecologically critical environment. |
