We only know about wildlife documentaries the beautiful, moving and surprising images on our screens. Behind the mirror, there are the animal filmmakers, their setbacks, their failures, their emotions and their fears.
There are also the risks of the profession, not least in the African savannah. There are the comical moments when every film crew has to submit to the pranks of the macaques or orangutans.
Get behind the screen, slip into the shoes of a director and get as close as possible to the animals you want to discover, both funny and moving.
Direction: Guillaume Poyet
