Re: Butaan Special
That film gave completely the wrong impression about the butaan project. It was a collaboration between me, Augusto Zafe and Gil Sopranes with regular help from Vincente Yngente. For some reason nobody from Polillo Island gets to say a word in the whole documentary. The first version was wildly inaccurate and deeply insulting to the people of Polillo, but thankfully when Animal Planet used it for Mutual of Omagh series they scrubbed the commentary and replaced it with something a bit better. But they couldn't change the image sequence.
I'm not saying Animal Planet/Discovery are racist, but how many of their shows are filmed in East Africa, and how many African presenters have they ever had?
