"Seven Worlds, One Planet" Documentary feat. Gunung National Park
The BBC documentary series “Seven Worlds, One Planet” contains seven episodes spanning across the seven continents. Gunung National Park, Cheryl Knott’s research site, appears in “Asia,” the second episode in the series, as camera crews documented orangutans found there. The episode premiered on BBC American on February 8th and can be watched on YouTube TV with a subscription or bought on Amazon Prime. The “making of” extended feature at the end of the episode features a behind the scenes look at the segment filmed at the site.
The Boston University news publication, The Brink, recently released an article about Knott, her family and their contributions to the documentary. You can read the compelling account of the family’s efforts to document and protect the species here.
