Review of Nature Bites: The predatory nature of nature films

This piece reveals that nature documentaries are anything but natural. One could feel cynical to learn that these films are edited and produced much like action films --but one could also take comfort in the knowledge that nature actually moves at a much slower pace. This piece is sound rich as Guy Hand mixes interviews, nature sounds and film clips to make a fast pace and comprehensive report. This is the kind of piece that you would expect to hear on ATC, ME or Living on Earth. It would be appropiriate to broadcast on shows that focus on the environment, the media, or entertainment.
