On the Far Side of the Earth

This four-episode Swedish documentary series by Arne Sucksdorff draws on footage shot over four years in Brazil—especially in the Pantanal wetlands—and is narrated from Sucksdorff’s personal diary. It combines images of plants, animals, landscapes, and daily camp life with moments of tension (e.g. threats to wildlife) and reflection on humanity’s relationship with nature.
