This is a great film in every respect. Bravo to PBS for bringing HOTSPOTS to viewers everywhere, and to the Dancing Star Foundation, and Conservation International for their amazing contributions to this Earth. And bravo to the filmmakers, particularly Michael Tobias, who wrote and directed it, and Jane Morrison who produced it, and Russell Mittermeier who hosted it. Amazing footage, this is the real deal. I have seen countless wildlife films and natural history films - haven't we all (my favorite being Microcosmos, and Planet Earth). But this is the first conservation biology film in action, and there has never been anything like it.Filmed in places like New Zealand, Brazil, Easter Island, Madagascar, Peru and southern California, it a glorious testament to what it takes to save endangered species and habitat, and the people who are truly making a difference.
