About this Episode
WELCOME BACK!
This week we're looking at how cinema influences our understanding of conservation issues and wildlife. Is it good? Bad? Do filmmakers have a responsibility to remain factual when creating entertainment?
Using "The Meg" as a case study, we talk about the vilifying of animals, "the Bambi Effect", and whether or not the Jason Statham is a good marine biologist.
