Hidden gem
‘Wild South America’ seems to be getting less exposure than the other BBC nature documentaries.I myself learned about it just weeks ago.But what a brilliant piece of filmmaking !!!In addition to the stunning visuals, this documentary has the subtle quality of connecting with its viewers.The presentation is engaging and emotional, so that viewers can understand the South American wilderness, not just see it.In that respect, I’d dare to say that ‘Wild South America’ is even better than Planet Earth.

Renamed from original “Andes to Amazon” title
When we lived in England ten years ago, we were consumed by the Andes to Amazon television series broadcast at the time. Ever since I have moved back to the United States, I have searched far and wide for a release of this series on DVD for the USA. Until recently the search always ended in disappointment. Finally, my search is over! I cannot imagine why the second reviewer was so negative about this DVD. It is by far one of the best wild life documentaries ever created!

awesome documentary
For anyone interested in nature, this is a must see! The photography is some of the most awesome you will ever see. This shows how nature maintains the balance of life, and how each species contributes something to the other. I give it 4 stars because sometimes the music was slightly louder than the narrator. A great movie for anyone considering relocating to South America.

BBC Atlas of the Natural World– Wild South America
Use this when teaching about South America in a middle school classroom. Well done with stunning imagery. Very informative. Some segments that deal with the Native Amazonians show some nudity– preview those segments ahead of time for no surprises. This series reminds me a bit of the Planet Earth series.

Gee whiz, it’s South America
In light of the BBC’s previous cutting edge documentaries about lifestyles and animals, “Wild South America” is a huge disappointment. The gorgeous landscapes and remarkable close-ups of animals lose their power thanks to Nicholas Hooper’s repetitive attempt at indigenous music and the frequent redundancies in content. But the most distressing element of this six-part series is the narration written by Pelham Aldrich-Blake and spoken with inappropriate romanticism by Fergal Keane. Frequently anthropomorphic and generally banal, it carries a “gee whiz” attitude as if the filmmakers were surprised by what they found with their own research. The producers clearly had time and money to spend on this major series, and their efforts and devotion show in its stunning visuals. Too bad it has nothing to say that couldn’t be found in a grammar school primer.

A very pleasant surprize
Who knew South America was so incredibly diverse! Just an amazing video. We watch lots of nature videos but my grandkids and I were truly hooked with this one. Highly recommend.

my only disappointment with this film is that there isn’t more about the Uguazo falls – such a magnificent sight but hardly touched here – I did hope to see more of the wonderful South American birdlife but the video is extremely interesting and enjoyable as it covers such a vast region!
