Description:

MEDIA:

My Mercury

 ‘Anyone serious about real conservation issues should watch this stunningly beautiful, funny, shocking documentary. A courageous and ambitious film tackling, head-on, the massive conservation dilemma: when human-caused ecological imbalances pit one species against others, do we intervene? Conservationist Yves Chesselet made his decision and his eight years as an activist in the endangered birds vs the seals battle, cost him dearly.

Nature's brutality and beauty juxtaposed with one man's courage and frailties leaves one reeling. ‘
