| Writing the Documentary Film | |
| Writing a script for a documentary film is quite different from other forms of writing. Words can become swamped − irrelevant even − in the company of dramatic sound effects, powerful music and stunning images. So how do you write words that will complement and enhance these attention-grabbing elements, and not fight them?
With Brian Leith. Brian Leith, a documentary filmmaker and executive producer with the BBC, explores the art of film scripting and discovers that here, amid the noise and haste of television, writing can both plumb the depths − and scale new heights. |

| Born Free? Civilization and Wilderness | |
| On the edge of the wilderness lies a land in transition between old and new, between wild nature and human civilization. We have feared wilderness and have spent millennia exploiting it. Yet we’re also drawn to it, and have become obsessed with saving what’s left of it. A writer and a filmmaker, who have spent years telling stories from this ever-moving frontier, explore the changing meaning of nature and wilderness. Could wilderness − long thought of as the place where we get lost − actually be the place where we find ourselves? With Brian Leith, Alex Shoumatoff. Hosted by Ramona Koval. |
