The reverse (US->UK) equivalent would be taking Cosmos and replacing Carl Sagan with Jeremy Clarkson. This actually makes me seethe with anger. The worst thing is that Sir Attenborough is not only the narrator of Life, but the writer also. It's not just his voice, it's his program and pretty much the masterpiece he chose to end his career on.

Miss Areola Canasta posted:Awesome documentary. It doesn't just provide a good story, but it raises interesting moral questions. Is the expedition fueled by belevolence or ethnocentrism? Part of me feels cultures like this should be left alone. It's great the explorers were able to provide simple medical care, but I'm sure that language is endangered now, their culture eroded by hegemony. As far as I understand they were pretty much left alone by the guys mounting the expedition and the authorities. However christian missionaries have since discovered the Biami people
